Académicos y estudiantes de las escuelas de educación suelen reclamar por la falta, o el reducido número, de revistas especializadas en sus bibliotecas universitarias.
La verdad es que hoy es posible mantenerse al día respecto de los avances en la investigación educacional con solo consultar la Red.
A continuación propongo un recorrido por revistas esapecializadas de calidad, full text, disponibles gratuitamente en Internet.

Directorios
Dos directorios de revistas académicas (con comité editorial y revisión por pares) son ofrececidos, respectivamente, por AERA, la American Education Research Society, y por el SCRE Center de la Universidad de Glasgow, Escocia.
Acceso a documentos y trabajos recientes
Education-line.
Education-line is a freely accessible database of the full text of conference papers, working papers and electronic literature which supports educational research, policy and practice.
Education-line provides an internet medium through which authors can present early versions of their work and interested parties can keep abreast of topical issues in educational research.
The focus of Education-line is on texts which are relevant to the study, practice and administration of education at a professional level. Texts are supplied for addition to the collection by their authors, often as a result of presentations made at conferences.

Revistas on line destacadas
NEXT [en inglés], revista de opinión e investigación publicada publicada por la Hoover Institution, Stanford University, cuatro veces al año.
Misión: In the stormy seas of school reform, this journal will steer a steady course, presenting the facts as best they can be determined, giving voice (without fear or favor) to worthy research, sound ideas, and responsible arguments. Bold change is needed in American K–12 education, but Education Next partakes of no program, campaign, or ideology. It goes where the evidence points.
