Volume 7, Number 4 of the Science Portal Journal, corresponding to the year 2026, brings together researchers from Nigeria, Morocco, Algeria, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Panama, the United States, Equatorial Guinea, and Cuba. This geographical diversity reflects the journal's international focus and its commitment to the dissemination of scientific knowledge beyond institutional and national borders. The published works address issues related to educational leadership, digital literacy, child health, environmental management, emotional intelligence, intercultural curriculum, environmental education, English language teaching, autism, fiscal policy, communication, and emerging technologies. Taken together, the studies demonstrate that scientific research acquires particular relevance when it allows us to understand specific phenomena and provides elements for their interpretation and transformation. This issue also highlights the convergence of social sciences, education, health, environment, economics, and digital technologies as a response to increasingly complex contemporary problems. From this perspective, Science Portal reaffirms its purpose of facilitating an open, pluralistic, and international space for scientific communication and for fostering closer ties between researchers, institutions, and society.
