The purpose of the Journal Acta Scientiarum. Education is to disseminate and promote open science, since, in the understanding of the Publishers, the main purpose of a scientific journal is to contribute to the social, cultural, and scientific development of society, with the perspective that, in this way, everyone's lives will be positively affected.

We believe that the articles published in the Journal Acta Scientiarum. Education, in addition to disseminating the results of completed research, foster the development of new research that will certainly boost social and cultural development. In this regard, it is important to emphasize that scientific dissemination is fundamental to people's cultural development, a development that is indispensable for individuals to perceive and express themselves in the world, as well as to become aware of and exercise their ethical responsibility concerning the whole of men and society. It is this responsibility that the Journal seeks from the editors, authors, reviewers, and technical team in their actions in all areas of science dissemination.

In our historical time, it is urgent to disseminate research aimed at protecting the environment, ethnic and religious minorities, gender diversity, and, ultimately, the dissemination and promotion of inclusion. This is what the Journal Acta Scientiarum. Education has provided, as its scope encompasses both educational processes and theories, legislation and policies that refer to the development and professional practice of teachers.

One of the relevant aspects for a journal that seeks to disseminate open science and, consequently, social, economic, and cultural development, is the use of digital tools, including artificial intelligence (AI). It is worth noting, however, that although AI has become an indispensable tool for scientific studies since it is a set of algorithms that allows the performance of infinite activities and tasks, the human being is still the guiding subject and capable of making lawful or unlawful decisions in a scientific investigation.

AI is important as an instrument that maximizes the performance of tasks, but it cannot be used to instrumentalize reason. Without human command, this tool is not capable of generating science, technology, and, therefore, culture from the perspective of the good of and for humanity.

It is from this perspective that the Journal Acta Scientiarum. Education uses digital tools in the process of disseminating knowledge. By guiding itself by these premises, the journal participates in the dissemination and promotion of scientific and technological knowledge, aiming to make culture public, a common good, whose incorporation allows each person to individualize themselves and perceive the other as an individual representing everyone.

In terms of economic development, the Journal Acta Scientiarum. Education plays an important role. The research, whether on formal or non-formal education, published in the two axes of the journal contributes to the improvement of the cultural capital not only of the local community but of the entire country and beyond, considering that it is a journal that operates from the perspective of open science.

Also from an economic and social point of view, it is worth highlighting the fact that publication in the Journal Acta Scientiarum. Education is free of charge and, therefore, allows researchers and research projects that do not have funding to have their results published.
