Outgoing Editor’s comment (Editorial de la Editora Saliente)

Seven years ago, in 2014, we took over the stewardship of Culture and Education with a twofold commitment: to guarantee the quality of the publications and to promote the internationalization of the journal. The goal was to continue publishing studies that further our understanding of educational processes throughout the lifespan, bearing in mind the different cultural contexts underlying them. The contributions were to provide relevant, innovative, theoretically and methodologically consistent information. Faithful to the journal’s origins and identity, we defined an editorial line around the analysis and discussion of the different topics linking education and culture, with a renewed emphasis on the development of language and literacy in the broad sense, including digital literacy, in a host of formal and informal teaching–learning scenarios. At the same time, we broadened the formats of articles that the journal would accept, including not only research reports but also duly evaluated teaching experiences, original educational projects and position articles. Most importantly, we refined the peer review process, which is the best guarantee of the publication’s quality. These publication formats were complemented by important monographic issues on a range of topics, each overseen by international guest editors who were experts in their respective fields. The monographs examined everything from advanced strategies for statistical data processing to the role of education in the dissemination of fake news, inclusive university education and fundamental considerations on immigration and the educational system. In parallel, the decision of the Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje to undertake a bilingual English–Spanish publication contributed to internationalizing a publication which was already a benchmark in the Spanish-speaking world. This decision led to the publication of articles from a variety of places, including China, Turkey, the United States and Israel. Even though the majority of articles continue to come from Spain and Latin America, the bilingual publication made it possible to disseminate it in different non-Spanish-speaking milieus. Nothing of what has been done would have been possible without the colossal assistance of Nayme Salas, who has been in charge of the editorial coordination of Culture and Education over these seven years. Nayme effectively and creatively resolved the different predicaments that arose in the management of the digital platform, as well as the often unusual inquiries of authors and reviewers. Nayme deserves all my gratitude for the quality of her collaboration. Two teams of associate editors worked successively during this period. All their members were researchers and faculty members who joined their full-time work at their respective
