The Revista de Estudios Sociales (rev. estud. Soc.), created in 1998, is a diamond open access journal*, which meets international criteria of quality, positioning, periodicity and online availability. It is published at the beginning of each quarter (January-March, April-June, July-September and October-December) and is funded by the School of Social Sciences at Universidad de los Andes (Colombia). All digital content can be accessed through its web page: https://res.uniandes.edu.co
The journal is intended to disseminate research, analysis, reflections and thematic reviews on social problems produced by the national, regional and international academic community. It publishes contents in Spanish, English and Portuguese, focusing on debates involving relevant topics with approaches drawn from the fields of sociology, history, anthropology, political science, philosophy, psychology, as well as from cultural and gender studies. The journal’s contents target specialized and general audiences in different sections, supporting new knowledge building, strengthening academic networks, and providing input for professors and students, as well as for community, local and regional dialogues.
The structure of Revista de Estudios Sociales contains five sections:
The Presentation contextualizes and introduces the issue, and also highlights particular aspects that merit the attention of the readers.
The Dossier integrates a set of contents about a specific problem or topic that present advances in or results of research, reflection or thematic review from a critical and analytical perspective, giving an account of new trends in a specific area of knowledge.
Other Voices differs from the Dossier in that it includes texts that present research studies, reflections and reviews that deal with a variety of problems or topics.
Documents disseminates one or more texts on topics of social interest that are addressed in a reflective way, generally by authorities on the subject. Translations and transcriptions of relevant contents from different areas of the social sciences are also published.
Debate is a section that includes contents on specific topics, oriented to generating academic discussions from different perspectives, either through interviews or analytical writings.
The structure for presenting the different sections of the journal changes in the Open Theme issues. Neither the Dossier nor the Other Voices sections appear in such issues, which include a section titled Varied Topics instead.
