Through a descriptive study this paper reviews the quality indicators that are being imposed worldwide, as well as their contributing improvements and the problems derived from these. Scientific journals of education are a clear example of this evolution, since they face the challenges of digitalization, impact, open access, presence in social networks, internationalization, editing continuity in your own language, etc. in an increasingly competitive environment. Every editor must consider what kind of journal is willing to offer, while responding to the demands of scientific production and demanding reforms of the new editorial context.
