Abstract

The study explores how well education journals are embracing open science practices, as part of the Catalog of the Forum of Journal Editors in the Field of Education (FEPAE) by the National Association of Research and Graduate Studies in Education (Anped). We looked at data from 174 journals collected from their websites, identifying various practices and policies related to open science. However, not all journals fully align with the open science movement. Despite challenges, adopting open science in education journals will enhance research integrity and transparency, fostering a more collaborative culture in scientific communication. Most journals use double-blind peer review (77.59%), with only 1.15% allowing open review. Regarding open data, 93.10% of journals don't provide guidelines, and only 4.60% encourage data sharing. Additionally, only 31.61% allow self-archiving. This highlights the need to improve editorial policies for transparency and integrity in scientific publication in education. Thus, the level of open science adherence in education journals and limited data availability may undermine the credibility and replicability of research in the field.
