QUADERNI DI DIDATTICA DELLA SCRITTURA

Quaderni di didattica della scrittura (QDS) is an international, open-access scientific journal ranked in Class A, published biannually and operating through a double-blind peer-review process.
Founded in 2004 by Cosimo Laneve, Full Professor of General Didactics at the University of Bari Aldo Moro, with the clear and fundamental aim of establishing a plural space for the development and circulation of knowledge about the teaching of writing and the practices deriving from it, QDS welcomes contributions addressing the teaching and learning of writing in its graphematic, multimodal, and generative-AI-hybridized variants, as well as reflections on the “simple” pleasure of writing.
The journal aims to highlight and discuss major pedagogical issues – alongside linguistic and neuroscientific ones – pertaining to the didactics of writing.
Its primary objective is therefore to support teachers’ professional growth by serving as a reference point for the development of a teaching professionalism in which writing competence constitutes an essential component. To this end, it offers a wide range of writing models for comparison, new content for deepening knowledge, and additional pathways, devices, and tools designed to innovate, refine, and enhance writing practices.

The peer review model requires that articles, once they have successfully completed the desk review phase, are subjected to double-blind refereeing, with the exception of invited articles. Submission of papers and the refereeing process are managed through the "Franco Angeli Journals" platform. The review process begins with a desk review by the Editor in Chief (EIC), aimed at assessing the submitted article's consistency with the journal's core topics and its potential contribution to advancing knowledge on management and control issues. The EIC, with the support of the Editorial Officer, also verifies compliance with the editorial guidelines and the Franco Angeli Code of Ethics. Once the desk review has been successfully completed, the reviewer selection process begins. Reviewers are selected based on their specific expertise in the work to be reviewed and in a way that minimizes the risk of conflicts of interest. To this end, the EIC applies the provisions of Article 3 of the Franco Angeli Code of Ethics. If an article is submitted by the EIC or co-editors, they are not involved in the reviewer selection process. Once the reviewers have been selected, the article is submitted anonymously to avoid potential influence from the reviewers. Once the reviewers' initial evaluations are complete, the EIC makes the decision regarding whether the article is publishable or not, or requests revisions. In the event of significant discrepancies between the two reviewers' evaluations, the Editor-in-Chief selects a third reviewer. The review process is repeated until the reviewers involved reach a consensus on publishability.
