In these sessions we analyse the growing importance that articles published in research journals have acquired, with the intention of reaching interesting conclusions within what this trend implies in the fields of culture, arts, education and the pedagogical use of these publications specialised in art and education. The meeting will allow us to bring together in Valencia those responsible for prestigious journals in the field of academic publications. There is an explosion of publications, while we see how existing ones are positioned and new titles are created. We need academic meetings like this so that people who do research have face-to-face meetings that encourage reflection and dialogue. They are designed for those people who, both from a professional perspective and from an educational practice, may be interested in analysing the situation and managing future proposals in the field of article publication, the projection of monographs, the specialisation of teams, and everything related to the publishing world and the uses and practices that we carry out, especially in the fields of arts, education and artistic education. We analyze the novelties and new research approaches that these journals offer.
