Across five publication years, PedPer has averaged roughly 10 articles per issue and just under 350 downloads per article — figures that reflect both consistent editorial throughput and a growing global readership.

Publication Growth

The journal launched in 2022 with two founding issues and has expanded to a regular biannual schedule (March / October), supplemented by thematic special issues tied to the TSTT teacher-training conference series. Volume 5, Issue 1 (March 2026) is the largest single issue to date, with 19 research articles nearly doubling the journal's per-issue average.

Internationalization

The most recent issue brings together contributors from five countries across three continents, signalling steady progress in PedPer's strategy of cultivating a globally distributed author and reviewer base. International contributions in V5/N1 cover topics ranging from blended teacher-mobility policy in Austria to gender bias in physics education in Ethiopia, civic education in Indonesia, and inclusive direct instruction in South Africa.
