Estudios Sociológicos is an open access scientific journal that does not charge any fee for the reception, processing or publication of academic papers.
The general principles for sending collaborations are specified below. For more deatils on the requirements for preparing a submission, it is suggested to review the Authors Guidelines section (https://estudiossociologicos.colmex.mx/index.php/es/directricesenvios)
Originality
Estudios Sociológicos only accepts unpublished manuscripts. Exceptionally, we can evaluate and edit articles published in another language. In this case, the manuscripts will be discussed by the Editor in Chief and the Editorial Board in order to determine if the contribution is of special interest for the journal.
If you wish to submit an already published article for evaluation, it is necessary to send a consultation to our email (revista.ces@colmex.mx) before any process in our Open Journal System (OJS) platform.
Exclusivity Commitment
Authors have an obligation to make sure their paper is based on original-never before published-research. Intentionally submitting or re-submitting work for duplicate publication is considered a breach of publishing ethics.
Language
Estudios Sociológicos is a scientific journal edited and published in Spanish dedicated to the dissemination of academic works of interest in Latin America and Spanish-speaking contexts.
Type of collaborations

A research article presents the original results or findings of an academic study based on theoretical approaches and methodological resources in the fields of sociology and related disciplines. The text must contain a clear approach and a solid argument supported by well-defined empirical data and information. Length between 8,000 and 10,000 words (see Author Guidelines). Exceptionally, Estudios Sociológicos will publish texts that contain a theoretical contribution in the field of sociology or related disciplines. The text must reflect a solid and clearly presented statement or argument, with a critical position by the author(s), developing his/her own conceptual or analytical proposal beyond any kind of literature review.
