Focus and scope

Revista de Sociología publishes original and unpublished articles, the result of sociological research or interdisciplinary social scientific studies. The articles are oriented to the study of power relations in various spheres of social life: the world of work, political and domination systems, intersubjectivity, relationships with nature. Consistent, rigorous, original and unpublished essays are also published. Revista Sociologia is published biannually in Spanish.

Evaluation and publication process

Manuscripts submitted for publication to the Revista de Sociología follow an evaluation process that lasts approximately three months, and includes the following stages:

Review of journal standards

The received works are evaluated in the first instance by the Editorial Committee to guarantee that they comply with the submission guidelines. Papers that do not meet the requirements specified in the submission guidelines will not be accepted for publication. This stage lasts about a week.

Anti-plagiarism evaluation

All manuscripts received are subjected to anti-plagiarism software (TURNITIN). The tolerance of textual similarity with other documents should not be greater than 10%. Similarities considered include recycled texts (self-plagiarism). Papers that contain a similarity percentage greater than 10% will not be accepted for publication. This stage lasts about a week.

Peer Review

The works received are subjected to a peer evaluation process, in the double-blind modality. In other words, the received article will be sent to an anonymous review that will be in charge of external evaluators (peer reviewers) recognized for their knowledge and academic trajectory on the subject addressed in the article. The peer reviewers, in addition to being experts in the subject covered by the article, will certify that they have no competition problems and guarantee total discretion. The duration of this stage is variable, but it is not less than one month.

Acceptance, press work and publication

When the author makes the corrections suggested by the reviewers, the article is considered ACCEPTED and ready to go to the stage of style correction and layout. The Editorial Committee gives the author a final version (proof) of the article so that the corresponding author can carefully review the work to be published and authorize the publication in an email sent to the General Editor. Without this authorization, publication is not possible.

Conflict of interest

Those who are involved or have any kind of academic, work or personal relationship with the author(s) of the manuscript to be evaluated should abstain from the process. This could be the author, the reviewer or the editor, which could nullify the coherence of a given judgment. For this reason, external peers, if they recognize any link with the author of the text, despite being a blind peer, should declare it. In turn, the editor and the editorial board should read the reports carefully, judging and disqualifying those in which a lack of correspondence between the text and the report can be alleged. Since conflicts of interest are capable of damaging the image of the scientific rigor of the journal, any academic bias will be carefully identified in the first, second or third instance of the review of the article. The journal guarantees the suitability of the reviewers who, in addition, will be external to the university where the journal is based. To avoid any controversy, the Editorial Board will participate in these processes of publication of scientific articles, alerting of any possible conflict of interest.
