As one might notice, PED has travelled a long way, from humble beginnings to the current stature. In terms of form and appearance, we would say that the journal has passed through 3 stages of production mode.
1975—1980s. It began operating as a mimeograph, produced on type-written text, proof-read by the author or a selected specialist, stencilled and reproduced on rotary “cyclostyling” machine, before review-editing by the Editorial Committee or an appointee for the job.
1980s—1989. Particularly for some two or three issues since Issue No. 9 of 1984, PED was processed on a printing machine by experienced linotype printers [at that time available at a Printing Press in Morogoro].
1990s—Present. Desktop publishing by advanced, computer-assisted printing techniques [as currently used by KAD, DUP and other publishers].
Currently, PED ranks among some of the ‘nice’ sister-journals in education (and in the social sciences in general) in Tanzania, east Africa and beyond, such as (or, seeking to perform as well as):
¨ Eastern Africa Social Science Research Review [EASSRR] (OSSREA, Addis Ababa);
¨ Southern Africa Review of Education [SARE] (SACHES - http://www.saches.co.za)
¨ International Journal of Educational Development [IJED] (ELSEVIER http://www.elsevier.com)
¨ Educational Research Review; and others.
