M.ª José Fernández Díaz is currently Emeritus Professor in the Department of Research and Psychology in Education at the Faculty of Education of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, where she completed her doctoral thesis and of whose Faculty she has been Dean for eight years (2010-2018).
Some of her areas of specialisation are related to research methodology, teacher and head teacher training, evaluation and quality. She leads a research group called "Quality and Evaluation of Educational Institutions", on which topic she has directed and participated in several research projects funded by public bodies, including R+D+i projects, among others. The latter have focused on research into the impact of the implementation of quality management systems in educational centres and verification and accreditation processes in universities. A project on the latter is currently being carried out and has been awarded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation. All this has led to numerous publications in high impact journals.
In the international arena, she has participated in several countries, giving courses and conferences in different universities and other organisations and taking part in numerous international congresses related to this subject.

Indexing
The revista española de pedagogía is present in the leading Spanish and international databases, such as Journal Citation Reports (JCR), Scopus, JSTOR, etc. In fact, it was the first Spanish journal to appear in JCR, where 95 per cent of the journals in the Education and Educational Research category are only available in English. Consequently, since 2017, the revista española de pedagogía has also made all of its articles and book reviews available online in English.
All of the articles published in the journal since it was founded in 1943 are available on this website. Articles can be downloaded for free apart from ones from the previous year.
