The Zeitschrift für Bildungsforschung (ZBF) (“Journal of Educational Research”) is a scientific journal for original research that initiates, discusses, and theoretically validates innovations in education and thus supports evidence-based development in education. As the official journal of the "Austrian Society for Research and Development in Education (ÖFEB)", ZBF serves to promote research and development in education in accordance with its statutes and to facilitate networking among its members. It supports the dissemination of research results and thus promotes researchers in their work. The journal has an interdisciplinary character. All scientific disciplines that deal with educational processes, institutions or systems are represented. As a journal of Austrian educational research, ZBF pursues national goals but is open to submissions by international, especially German-language, researchers.
