About the Journal
The CENTRA Journal of Social Sciences is a scientific publication published every six months, in January and July of each year, promoted by the Andalusian Public Foundation for the Andalusian Studies Centre, which is published in Spanish and English in electronic format for free download and in Spanish in paper format.
Therefore, the journal accepts the receipt of articles, research notes or texts for the remaining sections, which must all be unpublished and original, for its different sections in both Spanish and English. Texts received in languages other than Spanish or English will not be accepted. As an added value for authors and readers, once each issue is completed in the first month corresponding to the date of its publication and according to the language in which the texts are received, the progressive publication of their corresponding versions translated into either English or Spanish will proceed.
The CENTRA Journal of Social Sciences is part of the CENTRA Social Sciences project, a line of scientific publications that aims to promote the generation and dissemination of scientific knowledge on the social, economic and cultural reality of Andalusia, Spain and the world, as well as to support research carried out in Andalusia in these areas, through the evaluation, publication and dissemination of unpublished works from the academic and research field. This initiative covers the entire set of fields of knowledge attached to the branch of Social Sciences and linked to the CENTRA Foundation: Communication, Political Science, Economics, Education, Sociology and Anthropology, among others. It is aimed at both the academic and research community of social sciences and the general public interested in approaching, from the prism of science in this branch of knowledge, the social reality referred to.
The peer review system and the universalism of the evaluation criteria guarantee the maximum scientific rigor of the published works, open to the widest scientific community at national and international levels.
To provide content for this new line of scientific publications, the initiative has an Editorial Board made up of university professionals from all the aforementioned fields of knowledge in the Social Sciences.
In addition to the CENTRA Journal of Social Sciences, this new line of scientific publications also includes several book collections: Actualidad, Biblioteca de Investigación, Enfoques and Clásicos de las Ciencias Sociales.
