Editorial

This edition of the Polish Journal of Educational Studies focuses on diversity. This includes diversity in the range of topics addressed and in the styles and forms of the articles that have been published within it. This journal is among the oldest continually published journals in Poland. However, in the last few years, and especially the last decade the definition of what an academic text is, have radically changed. Therefore in response to this we as academics must ask questions about the ongoing purpose and function of the traditionally presented academic article within an academic journal. Indeed more than this, if we believe that it still has a function in our own writing and in the writing of the students who we are training to be future academics we must make a case for this form of publication and argue for it strongly. The case we make must also be more compelling
than simply stating that – we disseminate knowledge this way because this is the way it has always been done.
