The journal primarily but not exclusively draws on European sources and authors for content. It intends to cover all sectors within education and training, by both level and field (eg from K1-12 (according to the British system), and from training through to Higher Education). It wishes to promote the work of both researchers and practitioners in education, and the public and private sectors.
The language of publication is English, with an abstract in the author's chosen language. Additionally, there is an option to publish the originally submitted paper's identical copy in another language; however, this latter contribution is not refereed. The two versions are stored on different pages with electronic crosslinks.
The journal allows all the languages of Europe to appear, as the abstract and/or the optional contribution will be in the chosen language of the authors and will therefore extend eg from Lithuanian to German.
The journal has a section of refereed articles that can be found on the "Recent contributions" page and in the EURODL archive. Full-papers in English meeting basic requirements that are comparable to publishing in printed journals are published in this section.
There is also a "Brief items" section, which is not refereed and which acts as a more accessible and informative section of project reports, work in progress, non-English contributions and the like. This supports communication within the EDEN membership as well as the European area.
The subscriber list is reminded by email every 3 months about new contributions appearing in the journal.
The leading articles will also serve as initiators of discussions through making the journal an interactive platform and stimulating a feeling of EDEN affiliation. Visitors can make their footnotes to these articles and, if the Editorial Board acknowledges them, they will form a supplementary part of the publications.
