Ediciones Aljibe

Ediciones Aljibe is a Spanish independent publishing house founded in 1990 in Archidona, in the province of Málaga, by Rafael Bautista. It specialises in the field of education, psychology and pedagogy, and has built its catalogue around the practical needs of teachers, educational psychologists, speech therapists and families. Its first title, "Necesidades Educativas Especiales" (Special Educational Needs), responded to the new legal and pedagogical framework for special needs education in Spain, and was soon followed by the "Manual de Logopedia Escolar", a practical handbook on language disorders. From these beginnings the company developed a distinctive line of curricular adaptation materials designed to answer the challenges posed first by the LOGSE and later by the LOE in relation to education for diversity. Over more than three decades the publisher has grown into a reference point for Spanish-language educational publishing. Its catalogue includes more than six hundred active titles across collections covering curricular adaptations, hearing and language, educational sciences, support for reading and writing, attention to diversity, mathematics, guidance and counselling, psychology and health, sociology, and literature for primary and secondary students. Among the authors it has published are Antonio Bolívar, Julio Cabero Almenara, José Luis Gallego Ortega, Miguel Ángel Santos Guerra, Humberto Maturana, Miguel López Melero, Juan de Pablo Pons and Julio Ruiz Palmero. Ediciones Aljibe operates as a traditional publishing house rather than a self-publishing service: manuscripts are evaluated on content, author track record and commercial viability, and accepted works are subject to an edition contract that assigns copyright to the publisher for a period of ten years, with authors receiving an annual royalty of 8% of the retail price excluding VAT. Co-edition arrangements with universities are also contemplated for works linked to academic institutions. The company's editorial focus areas include special educational needs, educational psychology, pedagogy and guidance, and themes such as inclusion, ADHD, dyslexia, autism and high abilities. Beyond Spain, Ediciones Aljibe has established a presence in several Latin American markets, including Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela, supported by improvements in communications. Its website functions as a direct sales channel, offering titles such as the LOMLOE-aligned ESO textbooks in Geography and History, Language and Literature, Physics and Chemistry, and the FP Básica II applied sciences workbooks, alongside its long-standing collections for infant and primary education. The company remains privately held and continues to publish new titles each year.

Ediciones Aljibe was founded in 1990 in Archidona, in the province of Málaga, Spain, by Rafael Bautista. The publishing house began with the edition of "Necesidades Educativas Especiales" (Special Educational Needs), a work conceived as a response to the concerns of the educational community and to the then-new framework of special educational needs in Spain. This first title was followed by the "Manual de Logopedia Escolar", a practical handbook that reflected a realistic view of language disorders. From these two works emerged the company's collection of curricular adaptations across different subjects, designed to address the problems posed first by the LOGSE and later by the LOE with regard to education for diversity. In the field of specialised monographs, Ediciones Aljibe has opened its doors to authors such as Antonio Bolívar, Julio Cabero Almenara, José Luis Gallego Ortega, Miguel Ángel Santos Guerra, Humberto Maturana, Miguel López Melero, Juan de Pablo Pons and Julio Ruiz Palmero. Across all its collections, the publisher maintains six hundred active titles, which are expanded each year. Thanks to advances in the communications sector, these titles are present in markets such as Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. The company describes itself as an editorial specialising in the educational sphere with more than thirty years of experience, committed to publishing high-quality works that contribute to the development and improvement of education. It follows a traditional editorial system rather than a self-publishing model: it does not accept projects in exchange for payment for publication. Manuscripts are received and evaluated exhaustively, taking into account the content of the work, the professional trajectory of the authors and its commercial viability. If a manuscript passes initial assessment, an edition contract is negotiated under which authors assign copyright to Ediciones Aljibe for a period of ten years, receiving an annual payment of 8% of the retail price excluding VAT. Co-edition with universities may be considered when a work is linked to one or more universities. Its product lines span curricular adaptations; the Arauca. Temas del nuevo siglo collection; hearing and language; Aulae; educational sciences; the Colección Natura; reading and writing support notebooks such as ¡Ya leo!; attention to diversity notebooks such as ¡Ya calculo!, ¡Ya cuento y calculo! and ¡Ya cuento!; student notebooks; reinforcement and support notebooks; comprehensiveness and diversity notebooks; language and communication notebooks; dynamics, techniques and resources in education; diversity and learning difficulties; school and special educational needs; secondary education; sciences for all; encyclopaedias and dictionaries; body, plastic and musical expression; history; language and literature; literature (including Aljibe Literario, essays, erotica, primary literature with Colección CuentoEduca and Colección Lectura.es, Strado & Various, secondary and baccalaureate literature, Emilio Salgari adventure novels, mystery and terror stories); mathematics; Aljibe monographs; guidance; other titles; psychology; psychology and health; health and quality of life; and sociology. The website also lists new LOMLOE-aligned textbooks for ESO and FP Básica II, reflecting the company's ongoing adaptation to current Spanish educational legislation.
