The Catalogue of Refereed Scholarly Journals 2010-2011 is the compilation in one sole piece of work on the set of data sheets pertaining to periodical publications destined to share the outcomes of research in all scientific and scholarly areas. As spaces for a periodical encounter for researchers, these journals are a vital medium for the renewal of science. By means of a careful classification and ordering of the material, the Catalogue of Refereed Scholarly Journals 2010-2011 renders the possibility to identify the variety of publications compounding the acervus of scholarly journals being published today by the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Additionally, this Catalogue enables us to penetrate the bridges and communicating vessels, which the journals are able to establish across the diverse disciplines and in relationship to the development of science in diverse cultural contexts. Researchers and professors from diverse countries, generations and intellectual preferences are present in the editorial committees. The person or set of persons in charge for each of the 108 publications registered in this Catalogue was responsible for the information rendered therein. Each entry therefore offers concrete data regarding the specific journal, such as image, price, size, registry, profile and public to which it is destined. Simultaneously, we find a description guiding us through the history, achievements, awards and transformations of each journal. In view of the above mentioned, the Catalogue is a means to illustrate the fact that the production of science is not an activity restricted to one or a few disciplines but rather the compound of rigorous questioning by multiple minds who are willing to translate their research into scientific or scholarly articles. It is important to mention that each published article in these journals went through a prior revision by peers, in order to certify its originality.

Foreword


The Catalogue of Refereed Scholarly Journals 2010-2011 is destined to become a product for immediate consulting by students, researchers, professionals and anyone interested in knowing which are the spaces from which scholarly results are editorially articulated by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). The Catalogue is available in printed, electronic and virtual formats. Due to its versatility and importance, the Catalogue serves to foster interest in discovering how curiosity, rigorous work and the capacity for innovation constitute essential features for the production of knowledge. The General Secretariat of the UNAM proudly looks at this first issue of the Catalogue, which comes to light framed by the Centennial of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. We hope that in the years to come this publication will not only serve to reinforce the existing journals but to see new ones arise with increased strength as they will learn from those that have successfully gone the way.

Profile and ContentsActa Comportamentalia appears three times a year (March, June and December), as a joint publication of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (National Autonomous University of Mexico) and the Universidad Veracruzana (University of Veracruz). Acta is an international publication sharing original texts of behavior analysis in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. This scientific forum recognizes the tradition, originality and innovation of Latin culture. It recuperates cultural elements allowing for a scientific approximation to Latin languages going beyond the pragmatic perspective of Anglo-Saxon culture. The articles being published include theoretical proposals as well as conceptual and historical analyses; experimental studies about human and animal behavior; technical reports, clinical communications, and profound bibliographic recessions.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes psychologists, experts in the experimental analyses of behavior, sociologists and scientists of human behavior.

HistoryActa Comportamentalia appeared for the first time in 1992. The presentation of volume zero took place during the First International Congress of Behaviorism and the Sciences of Behavior, in October of that year in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. The Congress was part of the official events celebrating the Universidad de Guadalajara´s bicentennial. Acta has been published without interruption since then, being enriched by the editorial work of acclaimed figures in the field of the experimental analysis of behavior, such as Marc Richelle, Maria Amelia Matos and Deisy Graça de Souza.

Acta Poetica(Poetics Journal)

Editor in chief: Tatiana BubnovaPublisher: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México-UNAM, Instituto de Investigaciones FilológicasISSN: 0185-3082Periodicity: semiannualWeb page: http://www.filologicas.unam.mx/indices/actpoe.htm Price: it varies according to the issue

Measures: 15.5 x 22.5 cm (6.10 x 8.86 in)

Profile and ContentsActa Poetica addresses literary and cultural theory, the theory of translation, classical, medieval and renaissance literature. It also contains articles on Mexican, Latin American and compared literature, on the semiotics of culture, on the arts and on rhetoric. It additionally explores the relationship between literature and philosophy, anthropology and the history of religions.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes the professional studier of language and literature, and readers interested in theoretical aspects of culture.

HistoryThe journal has lived two distinct epochs. Back in 1978, José Pascual Buxó founded the Seminar for Poetics (nowadays Center for Poetics) at the Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas (Institute for Philological Research, UNAM, Mexico). The object was to establish a group dedicated to producing a scientific theory of literature using adequate methodologies for literary texts analysis: these

were made public via Acta Poetica. In this first moment, the publication was a formative space for the members of the Seminar. Since the very beginning, it harbored articles by international writers, including Haroldo de Campos, Jeanne and André Martinet, Cesare Segre, Jean Marie Klinkenberg, Antonio García Berrio and Antonio Gómez Moriana. The second epoch initiated in 1985, when the journal broadened its sphere and focus to include literary and cultural studies as well. At that point, it was characteristically post-structuralist, and Acta Poetica published texts by Paul de Man, Umberto Eco, Gershom Scholem, Harold Bloom, Geoffrey Hartmann and Eric Landowski. Since its very origins, Acta Poetica has developed a scientific focus of literature oriented to linguistics and semiotics. Nowadays it publishes texts by José Manuel Pedrosa, Martin Lienhard, Alan Deyermond, Irving Wohlfarth, Enzo Traverso, Eduardo Cadava, Michael Löwy and Hans J. Vermeer, among others.

Profile and ContentsActa Sociológica is a plural forum, open to debating, publicizing and discussing the wide range of problem situations, themes and theoretic-metho-dological approaches. Though directed to the study of the area of sociology, it is open to the social sciences in general. Published articles and essays are both the result of advances in empirical research as well as theoretical, methodological and technical considerations regarding these disciplines.

Target PublicScholars of UNAM and related institutions, as well as professionals interested in teaching support materials. Although the journal has published numerous collaborations from colleagues pertaining to the Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales (Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, UNAM, Mexico), this has not prevented a margin of openness to foreign and external collaborations.

Acta Sociológica(Sociology Journal)

History1969 marks the beginning of Acta Sociológica’s first epoch, distinguished by a comprehensive concept of teaching, research and action inspired by Ricardo Pozas and Elizabeth Horcasitas; as of then, the journal was a collection of several series lacking a strict periodicity. The journal ceased publication in 1978 for resurgence after 9 years, in 1987 (its second epoch) as a periodical (ideally appearing every four months) publication by the Coordinación de Sociología which had come to replace the Centro de Estudios del Desarrollo. Since then, with a new editorial line, the journal has tended to the treatment of issues that are crucial and the state-of-the-art for sociology, opening up to embrace other disciplines and co-lleagues from other institutions, including in its sections translations and book reviews.

Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras (AACA)

HistoryIn the last decades of the 20th century, scientific communities of Poland, the former Soviet Union and China had the need to exchange and disseminate recent research on applied mathematics, physics, engineering, and related areas. The objective was to establish an interdisciplinary as well as multidisciplinary dialogue, and thus create an international scientific community. Such experience derived in the creation, in 1980, of an international group working in the application of algebra in various branches of physics and technology. This group was rooted at the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Cuautitlán (Multidisciplinary School for Higher Studies Cuautitlán, UNAM, Mexico). A decade later, Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras (AACA) came to light with the support of the Facultad de Química (Chemistry Faculty, UNAM, Mexico). Dr. James Keller was the founding editor


and led an international publishing body alongside academic technician Irma Vigil de Aragón as the assistant publisher and Claudia Rosas as the editor. The editorial line was built with the conviction of using the most useful formulations of geometry, either to study this discipline in itself or as an instrument to formalize the study of mathematical structures in physics, engineering, robotics, and even in the social sciences. Therefore, the journal contains articles by scientists around the world. Published in 1991 for the first time, AACA began as a semiannual academic publication under the label of the UNAM. Due to its demand, the journal is now a quarterly and its distribution was professionalized by Birkhäuser Verlag in Basel (Switzerland). The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Birkhäuser have a renewable agreement for the printing and distribution of the journal. UNAM does not receive royalties derived from this agreement because the price to the public is very accessible. For its part, the Birkhäuser Verlag will change the printed format this year to include more articles in each issue, preserving low-cost prices for users.

Anales de Antropología(Annals of Anthropology)

Profile and ContentsAnales de Antropología is one of the most important contemporary anthropological publications in the Spanish-speaking academic field. Its main objective is to disseminate anthropological knowledge in its various areas. Its goals are: 1) to publicize the results and products of research by scholars of the Institute, and by specialists in the field of Anthropology who are not affiliated to the Institute. 2) To leverage digital technology as a resource to share knowledge instantly with audiences around the world, and 3) to increase visibility and impact of the work by authors publishing in this journal by allowing an easy location of articles.

Target PublicIt is aimed at researchers, scholars and students in the areas of anthropology, archaeology, ethnology and related issues.

HistoryAnales de Antropología was first published in 1964 in the Department of Anthropology, then part of the Institute for Historical Research, under the direction of Miguel León-Portilla. The idea of founding the journal is attributed to Juan Comas, a prominent anthropologist who served as its first editor, between 1964 and 1977. With him as head of the journal, volumes 1-14 were published. When the first volume appeared, the editorial line was oriented to the promotion of physical and social anthropological knowledge, to ethnology, archaeology and linguistics. Currently, Anales is a forum open to researchers from other institutions, both national and foreign, and reflects developments and trends in this field of knowledge in Mexico and Latin America. Forty-one volumes were published by December, 2009. The journal represents a valuable contribution directed towards the construction of an anthropological discipline responding to the needs of our time.

HistoryIn August, 1986, during the closing session of the IV Congress of Mexican Law History, which took place in the city of Querétaro, a group of historians conceived the creation of the Anuario Mexicano de Historia del Derecho under the seal of the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas (UNAM, Mexico). Published in 1989 for the first time, it appeared under the direction of Beatriz Bernal, with Jorge Madrazo heading the Institute. So far, Anuario has published twenty-one issues, directed by José Luis Soberanes, Diego Valadés, Jorge Madrazo, Héctor Fix-Fierro. During these years, the journal has provided space to authors from various countries, thus strengthening its ties with European, mainly Spanish lawyers as well as with the Latin American colleagues and even Americans. Since the work undertaken by law historians is not specific or exclusive to Mexican universities and institutions of higher education, the virtual law library journals of the Institute have increased their dissemination


in order to reach all parts of the world and all graduate and undergraduate students interested in specializing in this area.

It is distributed nationally and internationally through various institutional, commercial and personal channels.

Target PublicIntellectuals, activists, artists, writers, scholars, humanists and students of Latin America and the Caribbean region, as well as members of Latino communities resident in Europe, USA and Canada.


History Archipiélago is an independent cultural project published in Mexico in 1992 for the first time and born on the initiative of nineteen Latin American intellectuals from different disciplines and backgrounds, mostly professors, and University researchers. With the vision of spreading the essence of Latin American culture, the journal has been the forum articulating the various expressions of thought, memory and the scientific, artistic and literary creation of the region. The launching of the issue number zero took place in the same year in the Casa de las Américas in Havana, Cuba, and in the National Museum of Ethnography and Folklore, in La Paz, Bolivia. Number one was presented in Mexico City in May, 1995, and since then, Archipiélago is published regularly and distributed throughout the country and abroad. In 2002 and 2003 the journal was co edited by the Centro de Investigaciones Interdisciplinarias en Ciencias y Humanidades (Center for Interdisciplinary Research in the Sciences and Humanities-CEIICH, UNAM). Since 2004, it has been hosted by the Centro de Investigaciones sobre América Latina y el Caribe (Center for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean, CIALC, previously CCyDEL, UNAM).

Measures: 20 x 26.5 cm (7.87 x 10.43 in)

Profile and ContentsAtmósfera is a scientific journal that publishes articles on theoretical, empirical and applied research in the sciences of the atmosphere, including meteorology, climatology, aeronomy, physics, chemistry and biology. Interdisciplinary texts are welcome as well, especially those relating to oceanography, hydrology, ecology, forestry, glaciology, agriculture and environmental pollution. With the aim of ensuring the originality and the correct presentation of the articles from various scientific areas, the articles are subject to a strict reviewing process. Atmósfera circulates in Latin America, USA and Europe. What makes the distribution attractive is the fact that its collaborators reside in Mexico, South America (mainly Argentina, Chile and Brazil), Spain, India, and some Asian countries. Atmósfera is a relevant publication in its genre. This impact factor is representative, as it heads the list of scientific journals that, without

having the same characteristics, are indexed in SCI (Science Citation Index).

Target PublicThe intended audience includes graduate students and researchers in the area of sciences of the atmosphere and related to it.

HistoryAtmosfera was published in 1988 for the first time by Julian Adem, who also had created Geofísica Internacional in 1961. In the 1980s, when doctor Adem was serving his second term as director of the Centro de Ciencias de la Atmósfera (Center for the Sciences of the Atmosphere, UNAM), the possibility of publishing an international quality magazine was discussed. Thus, they created Atmósfera and invited Mexican fellow scientists and scientists from Argentina, Australia, Belgium,


USA, Philippines, England, Sweden, Switzerland, and the former Soviet Union to participate in this endeavor. The first issue was printed on April, 1988 and since then the journal appears every three months.

Biocyt Biología, Ciencia y Tecnología(Biology, Science and Technology)

Measures: 21.6 x 27.9 cm (8.50 x 10.98 in)

Profile and ContentsBiocyt is a virtual scientific journal in Spanish, which is dedicated to spreading scientific work generated inside and outside the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala. The publication addre-sses issues related to disciplines closely linked to biology and environmental sciences, mainly zoo-logy and botanical studies.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes the internatio-nal scientific community, primarily biologists and people with knowledge of the above mentioned disciplines.

HistoryProfessors of both, the Department of Ecology and the Department of Management of Natural Resources pertaining to the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala (Multidisciplinary School for Higher Studies Iztacala, UNAM) arrived at the conclusion that it was essential to have a webat journal. It was conceived by Jonathan

Franco Lopez, Horacio López Vázquez and Sergio Cházaro Olvera. Aware that information is nowadays moving rapidly, the idea was that the journal should quickly disseminate the results of research carried out within the Faculty. As happens with most brands, a product is unveiled to the public for consideration, and the public reacts; thus the journal became known and comments started to flow: some good and some bad, which served to modify its contents, so that nowadays all the comments regarding the journal are good. We believe that Biocyt has been growing because manuscripts for review arrive constantly, meaning that the scientific community and and interested readers increasingly view the page.

Bitácora Arquitectura(Architecture Logbook)

Measures: 21.5 x 34 cm (8.46 x 13.39 in)

Profile and Contents The journal disseminates the results of research, original essays, as well as reflections and proposals aimed at strengthening the culture and the debate surrounding the city and architecture. In some occasions, it revolves around a central theme such as the buildings of the University City, the poetics of water, or the reuse of historical buildings as viewed from the theory, history, project strategies, and even literature. In addition, Bitácora examines the intellectual trajectory and life of the most significant professors of the Facultad de Arquitectura (Faculty of Architecture, UNAM). During the period of George Tamés y Batta as the Faculty dean, the journal has kept its original spirit of plurality, its concern to be visually appealing and has become more rigorous in academic terms.

Target PublicProfessionals in the field of design, the academic community, professors and students of architecture, city planning, landscape and industrial design, as well as those interested in the built heritage and the history of art.

HistoryAs happens in a boat, a logbook is a useful ins-trument, which leaves evidence of the facts and decisions occurring day by day in all kinds of adventures and journeys. Bitácora is intended to render testimony on constructions, interventions, archaeological and heritage rescue, which the architects encounter in their professional lives. Bitácora was first published in 1999 by Felipe Leal, then dean of the School of Architecture, with Juan Ignacio del Cueto, as editor. Later, the editor was Daniel Escotto, then Gabriel Konzevik and today is Héctor Quiroz Rothe. From its beginnings, Bitácora aspired to be a quality journal, plural and dynamic, of broad criterion but always a rigorous publication. Its vocation is to become the vehicle of expression for the disciplines taught at the Faculty: architecture, industrial design, landscape and urban planning. Additionally, the journal functions as a forum for discussion and analysis promoting constructive criticism.

Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana(Bulletin of the Mexican Geological Society)

Measures: 21 x 27 cm (8.27 x 10.63 in)

Profile and ContentsAs compared to the descriptive works it published originally, the content of the Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana has changed significantly. Nowadays, it harbors technical articles and modern analytical articles. Boletín is a free access electronic scientific journal published twice a year, aiming to contribute to the understanding of geology in Mexico and its neighboring areas, and of similar disciplines anywhere in the world. It also encourages the publication of articles on less familiar topics, as compared with materials and objectives of conventional journals; among these, we find articles devoted to new methodologies or to its improvements, and areas of knowledge that in the past have received little attention, such as urban geology, water management, environmental geology and mineral deposits, among others.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes readers whose profession or academic training is related to the Earth Sciences.

HistoryBoletín was first published in 1904, which makes it one of the oldest living journals in Mexico. Its content, since the very first issue, is available online. The journal arose following the birth of the Mexican Geological Society. It was intended as its forum of expression. Today it constitutes a publication of reference for the sciences of the Earth in Mexico and its immediate surroundings. The statutes of the Society indicate (in article II) that it “aims to grow and spread the study of geology and cognate sciences contributing to the advancement of geology in general and to disseminate knowledge on the soil of Mexico in itself and in relation to mining, agriculture and other industrial arts”. For over a century now, the attainment of these objectives governs the operation of the publication. The vocation of the Boletín is to be a body that assists in the promotion of the study of the pure and applied sciences of the Earth. The Society and its Bulletin are due to its founding members and first Board of


Directors, integrated by José Guadalupe Aguilera (President), Joaquin M. Ramos, Ezequiel Ordóñez, Rafael Aguilar Santillán, John D. Villarello, Joseph C. Haro, Agustín Lazo M., Carlos Sellerier and Maximinus Alcalá. Historically, outstanding figures of Mexican and international geology have pu-blished in the Boletín: José G. Aguilera, Ezequiel Ordóñez and Manuel Álvarez Jr., Emil Böse, H. K. Erben, Teodoro Flores, W. F. Forshag, Carl Fries Jr., Jenaro González Reyna, Ralph W. Imlay, Federico K. G.

Achievements and Awards The edition of the Centennial volume, in 2004, opened the fourth epoch of the Boletín. Late in 2005, a renewed editorial committee took office and affronted the challenge of continuing the publication of the Boletín on a semiannual basis, to continue as a reference journal for the sciences of the Earth in Mexico. In 2005, spontaneous text submission was almost zero because it was favoring journals indexed in the Science Citation Index or the index of journals of the National Council of Science and Technology, Mexico. Having identified this as the main weakness of the Bulletin, most subsequent editorial decisions intended to alleviate the scarcity of spontaneous text submissions. Therefore, the inclusion of the Boletín in the index of the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología-Conacyt in 2007, proofed to be decisive.

Profile and ContentsThe Boletín Mexicano de Derecho Comparado has a trajectory of sixty years of uninterrupted publication under the support of the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas (Institute for Legal Research, UNAM). Its pages reflect contemporary currents of legal thought and respond to the community of lawyers’ new needs of knowledge and information, thus adapting itself to technological change in the publishing field. The magazine was founded in the belief that the progress of legal sciences is fruitful for comparative knowledge of the various legal, historical and contemporary realities. The Boletín has published texts by Mexican and foreign lawyers from the most diverse latitudes. Its collaborators include Héctor Fix-Zamudio, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora y Castillo, Jorge Barrera Graf, Hans Kelsen, René David, John Hazard, Mario Sarfatti, Felipe Solá Cañizares, Mauro Cappelletti, among others.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes students in gene-ral and specialists in the area of comparative law. Therefore, its scope is national and international. Comparison of legal systems has made it possible to provide new legal institutions for various countries.

HistoryBoletín Mexicano de Derecho Comparado was first published in 1948 as Boletín del Instituto de Derecho Comparado de México (Bulletin of the Institute of Comparative Law of Mexico). On that same year, the Institute for Legal Research ceased to depend from the National School of Jurisprudence. Its founder and first technical director was Joaquín Rodríguez y Rodríguez; he was succeeded by Javier Elola Fernández who, in turn, was succeeded by Niceto Alcalá-Zamora y Castillo. In its origins, the structure of the Bulletin contained five large paragraphs or sections:

Boletín Mexicano de Derecho Comparado(Mexican Bulletin of Comparative Law)

Measures: 15 x 22 cm (5.91 x 8.66 in)


Doctrine (called Articles since edition thirty-four, in 1959), Legislation, Journal of Journals, Bibliography and Information. Four of these sections remain because Journal of Journals ceased to be published. That section included summaries of recent articles with information and guidance on the development of legal science in the world today. The objective of the section was broader than the critical review of a bibliohemerographic character, and its disappearance is due to the advances of electronic periodicals. Because of the agreement reached by the University Council as of December 15, 1967 by which the Institute of Comparative Law of Mexico changed its name to Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas, it was necessary to change the name of the publication. 1968 saw the rise of a “new series” which retained the continuity in the periodicity, structure and spirit characterizing the publication founded in 1948.

Achievements and AwardsSince the year 2000, and to comply with the guidelines of the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología as the ruling body of research in our country, the academic direction of the Bulletin ceased to rely on the director of the Institute and became the responsibility of a director for the Bulletin. Thereafter, the Boletín is published as a refereed journal, with the collaboration of an editorial board integrated by distinguished professors and researchers.

Ciencias(Sciences)

Profile and ContentsCiencias is a multidisciplinary journal for the dissemination of scientific knowledge aimed at the conformation of a scientific vision of and in everyday life. The editorial policy of Ciencias seeks a balance allowing knowledge in the natural sciences and the social sciences and humanities to be contextualized, valued and criticized. Along its twenty-seven years of existence, it has published articles in very diverse areas: biology, physics, mathematics, chemistry, history of science, biomedicine, philosophy of science, social studies of science, anthropology, geography, archaeology, computing, and health. Another objective of the editors is the profound reflection and the dissemination of science, particularly in Mexico, in order to promote research projects on the public perception of science, from the magazine work experience. In each publication, Ciencias includes a dossier with various points of view on a subject; it also contains fixed sections with varying topics. For the analysis of the actual situation, there is an ample range of criteria to deal with many different topics.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes scientists, humanists, students of science, professors of all educational and professional levels and branches.

HistoryIn November, 1979, the then newly created group for the dissemination of scientific knowledge in the Physics Department at the Facultad de Ciencias (Faculty of Sciences, UNAM) published the inaugural issue of its newsletter. The objective was to contribute to the creation of a more comprehensive and intensive academic life, allowing students to form a criterion on their profession. The bimonthly publication topics included academic information, issues of science dissemination and discussion articles. Soon, the scope of the project led to its transformation into the journal Ciencias, published since 1982. Hundred and four issues (ninety-seven regular and seven special issues) have been edited. Thirty issues are sold out. With a current National


circulation of four thousand copies, the journal is today one of the most widespread in its field. The editorial board is composed of distinguished professors and researchers pertaining to the UNAM community and external to it.

Its inclusion in other international indexes such as Elsevier Bibliographic Databases (Scopus), is in progress.

Achievements and AwardsThe recognition gained by the journal from the scientific community has allowed for the collaboration of UNAM scholars and authors from diverse institutions in the country. For many readers, Ciencias has turned into a collector’s item, not only due to the importance of its scientific content, but because of the carefully selected illustrations, creating since some years back a graphic language linked to contemporary art, and to contemporary Mexican art in particular. Some of the issues have served as the basis for the elaboration of a series of anthologies. An anthology on biological evolution has already been published, of which a revised and augmented edition is under way. However, five anthologies are planned. The journal has served as basis for scripts for radio and television programmes, and for workbooks designed by the Secretariat of Public Education for updating courses for teachers.

Crítica Jurídica Revista Latinoamericana de Política, Filosofía y Derecho(Law Critique. Latin American Journal of Politics, Philosophy and Law)

Measures: 16 x 23 cm (6.30 x 9.06 in)

Profile and ContentsCritica Jurídica’s themes are the critique of law, legal sociology of law and, more broadly, political philosophy. Its mission is to promote critical thinking and interdisciplinary dialogue in the area of contemporary law. It publishes texts in Spanish and Portuguese, as well as reviews and translations into English.

Target PublicThe journal is destined to the specialized audience, scholars and academics of all areas in the social sciences. It is also addressed to university students in the areas of social knowledge related to law, sociology, political sciences and philosophy.

Crónicas El Muralismo, producto de la Revolución Mexicana, en América(Chronicles. Muralism, a Product of the Mexican Revolution in the American Continent)

Profile and ContentsCrónicas is the bulletin addressing research advances on plastic artists belonging to the Mexican Muralist movement and the so-called Escuela Mexicana de Pintura (Mexican School of Painting), its contemporaries, epoch and times. It also deals with crucial topics regarding postrevolutionary Mexican art. Its contents are varied, some issues are monographic, others are miscelaneous. As examples of the fisrt case, we have the murals by David Alfaro Siqueiros, the murals in elementary schools, the frescoes at the Abelardo L. Rodríguez market, muralism in Cuba or the influences of Mexican muralism on artists of other countries. The collaborators of the bulletin are mainly, though not exclusively, those working on the project “El Muralismo, producto de la Revolución Mexicana en América”. Related

articles by Mexican and foreign specialists are also included. The contents of Crónicas are presented in separate, distinct sections, that is, In-depth Articles, Documents, Secrets from the Wall (technical aspects), and The Actors Speak (testimonies, value judgements, critiques, interviews and reflections by the artists).

Target PublicThe intended audience includes students, academics, scholars, artists and anyone interested in the Muralist movement.

HistoryCrónicas appeared for the first time in 1998, with the aim of disclosing the research advances of the

project “El muralismo, producto de la Revolución Mexicana en América”, headed by Ida Rodríguez Prampolini. It was initially planned to appear three times a year. Later, it was conceived to be a semiannual publication and finally, due to the costs of production, it is a yearly journal. The first issue of Crónicas was truly an artisans production since, once designed, each of the 1000 copies was printed with a laser printer. The publication of each issue has implied great efforts to obtain financing. Nevertheless, it has been possible partly due to the Progama de Apoyo al Proyecto de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica-UNAM and Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (Conacyt). Its visibility has turned it into a barter and donation publication for the Justino Fernández Library, that is, the library of the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas (Institute for Aesthetic Research). The jounal is valuable in the academic world because it disseminates studies, documents and unpublished materials about the Mexican Muralist movement of the twentieth century, and about its influences on artists in other countries. It is important to underline that postrevolutionary Muralism is one of the most emblematic currents of Mexican art. We are thus referring to a relevant expression of Mexico in world art history. The journal is distributed to art and university libraries. It is consulted by national and foreign specialists, and looked for by recommendation. Issues number one to five are out of print. Issues number six to fouteen are available upon written request at the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas.

Indexed inThe printed and on-line catalogue of the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas.

Achievements and AwardsTwo issues have been coedited. The Institute has received specialised journals published in Bolivia and Spain in exchange for Crónicas. Another achievement is that the librarian network of Latin America has included it among its recommendations.

Cuadernos Americanos(American Notebooks)

Profile and ContentsCuadernos Americanos is a journal with international reach devoted to reflecting and debating on Latin American issues and problems. From its inception, it was conceived as a multidisciplinary forum going beyond the analysis of the immediate state of affairs. Because of its number of pages, Cuadernos has been considered a journal-book, a format it retains to this day. Each issue is a collectible volume. Cuadernos Americanos invites to think and explore Latin America as a whole, reflecting on the varied topics that integrate de Latin American specter. It follows that the journal is not destined exclusively to the specialized audience, but to readers who are interested in the region, its problems and cultural events as well. It fulfills its mission, since a good number of its subscribers are libraries and national and international universities.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes students, academics, scholars, writers and anyone interested in Latin American culture.

HistoryCuadernos Americanos was first published in 1942 by a group of intellectuals and Spanish refugees. The economist Jesús Silva Herzog was its first director, and the journal was then published on a bimonthly basis. In its first epoch, Cuadernos Americanos had four fixed sections, the contents of which showed the preoccupation for recovering the past, understanding the present and learning about the literary production of the region. This first epoch, which reached up to 1986, saw the publication of around two hundred and sixty issues. In those pages, we find the writings of distinguished intellectuals, such as Rafael Alberti, Juan José Arreola, Miguel


Ángel Asturias, Fernando Benítez, Luis Cardoza y Aragón, Luis Cernuda, Julio Cortázar, Daniel Cosío Villegas, Carlos Fuentes, Rómulo Gallegos, Pedro Henríquez Ureña, Vicente Huidobro, Antonio Machado. Additionally, Gabriela Mistral, Edmundo O´Gorman, José Ortega y Gasset, José Emilio Pacheco, Octavio Paz, Samuel Ramos, Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez, Jaime Torres Bodet, Rodolfo Usigli, Arturo Uslar Pietri, Luis Villoro, Joaquín and Ramón Xirau, Agustín Yáñez and Silvio Zavala. 1987 signals the beginning of Cuadernos Americanos new epoch. The philosopher Leopoldo Zea was named its director, and he continued in charge of the journal until his death, in 2004. In this new epoch, Cuadernos returned to some of its initial objectives and body of ideas on Latin America. The format was adapted to the new times: fixed sections were suppressed to make it more dynamic, and variable thematic sections were organized. The cover design retained the original design of marine waves, and the composition of the editorial committee and boards changed. Nowadays, the Centro de Investigaciones sobre América Latina y el Caribe is the editor in chief of this publication. Since issue number hundred and fifteen, in 2005, the journal turned into a quarterly. Cuadernos has published a hundred and thirty one issues. Among the personalities who have collaborated in the journal’s new epoch, we have Fernando Aínsa, Antonio Alatorre, Norberto

Bobbio, Ernesto Cardenal, Henri Favre, Roberto Fernández Retamar, André Gunder Frank, Pablo González Casanova, Miguel León-Portilla, Alfredo López Austin, Charles Minguet, Fernando del Paso, Gérard Pierre-Charles, Darcy Ribeiro, Arturo Andrés Roig, Gregorio Selser, Abelardo Villegas, Gregorio Weinberg and Leopoldo Zea.

Cuestiones Constitucionales Revista Mexicana de Derecho Constitucional(Constitutional Issues. Mexican Journal of Constitutional Law)

Measures: 15 x 22 cm (5.91 x 8.66 in)

Profile and ContentsCuestiones Constitucionales is a journal specializing in constitutional law. This rather broad area of law relates to other threads of law touching on topics such as human rights, municipalities, tax federalism. Cuestiones reflects the rapid change of the public judicial institutions and, at the same time, promotes what is considered a new Mexican constitutional right. The journal receives contributions from almost all Latin American countries and from a number of European countries as well. The evolution of this publication has been steady and firm. Due to its rising prestige, serious and original contributions to the science of constitutional law arrive for publication from day to day.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes academics, scholars, graduate students, and specialists in public and constitutional law.

HistoryCuestiones Constitucionales was first published in 1999 as an editorial project of Institute for Legal Research, UNAM. During the first three years, efforts focused on publicizing the journal, which was achieved successfully thanks to the support of members of the editorial board, who are lawyers of recognized prestige in various parts of the world. The circumstances surrounding the birth of the periodical were special. On the one hand, the law to which it refers had not previously


been the articulating axis of any other journal, because the existing publications dealt with legal disciplines alien to the realm of constitutional law, or else, had done so from the perspective of a different realm of law, that is, public law. On the other hand, the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas, which is the institution supporting the creation of this journal, enjoys a great tradition in editorial activities. The Instituto has created and mantains periodical publications such as the Boletín Mexicano de Derecho Comparado, the Anuario Jurídico, the Revista de Derecho Privado and the Anuario Mexicano de Historia del Derecho. Nevertheless, being an institution where public law and especially, constitutional law have been cultivated, it has not only supported the journal but also provided material for research. Cuestiones Constitucionales is the Mexican publication corresponding to those existing in other countries. The name of the journal evokes one of the magnificent works by jurist Ignacio Luis Vallarta, who was Minister of the Supreme Court of the nation. Constitutionalists from various parts of the country participate in the editorial board and, more importantly, it is directed to all cultivators of constitutional law. Therefore its subtitle: Mexican Journal of Constitutional Law.

HistoryIn 2002, following a study of academic journals focusing on media law and on the advances of the critique available in Latin America, the finding was a restrained academic space on the matter in the judicial sphere. This called for the creation of a specialized technical and academic publication, fostering debate on the normative regulation of media law in national and international spheres. Simultaneously, to establish a forum for Mexican, Latin American and Spanish authors specializing in the area of media and information legislation. Published in 2002 for the first time, the journal was conceived as a publication of the Programa Iberoamericano de Derecho de la Información at the Universidad Iberoamericana-UIA (campus Mexico City), the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and the Universidad de Occidente (Sinaloa, Mexico). In this context, the idea sprung of translating the theories, essays and legal norms of Latin American authors into the English language. That year saw the creation of the Comparative Media Law Journal, sponsored by the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Universidad de Occidente. In 2003, both journals were included as publications from the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas, with the support of the Universidad de Occidente and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Nevertheless, since the end of 2005 until today, the support comes from the Konrad Adenauer

Foundation. For that reason, the decision was taken in 2008 for the Comparative Media Law Journal to be an annual publication.

Achievements and AwardsBoth journals have undergone an evolution in accordance to the legislative requirements of the moment. That is, the editorial line has allowed the journals to focus on topics of the American and European continents’ legislative agenda, thus providing a forum for sustained analysis and reflection. Although the number of collaborators is relatively small, the leading representatives in the field have published in the journals. Since the early years, both have been useful for university education and for the dissemination of the doctrine on the matter. Recently, an agreement for co-edition materialized with the Faculty of Law of the University of Palermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Diálogo JurisprudencialDerecho Internacional de Derechos Humanos. Tribunales Nacionales. Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos(Judicial Dialogue. International Human Rights Law. National Courts. Inter-American Court of Human Rights)

Profile and ContentsDiálogo Jurisprudencial aims at locally informing on the international protection currents, showing its features and effects, thereby contributing to the strengthening of the contemporary culture of human rights. And with it, the effective protection emanating from a fruitful alliance between national and international justice. In the first issue of Diálogo Jurisprudencial, eleven court decisions on various topics, all taken in eight Latin American countries are presented, reflecting national reception of international case law. The editors have presented such judgments for the readers interested in this matter, excluding comments or critical considerations. The resolutions correspond to scholars and the judges. The Inter-American

Court, the UNAM’s Institute for Legal Research and the Inter-American Institute of Human Rights provide the material with objectivity and neutrality, for it to be analyzed. Even so, the selection of texts does not ignore the importance of other pronouncements that, over time, can be integrated to another issue of the journal, benefitting readers and the Inter-American System as well.

Target PublicNational and international case law courts, as well as Latin American men and women interested in the practice of human rights in present societies.


HistoryThe Inter-American Court and the Commission were created by the states of the American continent, with the purpose of upholding and promoting basic rights and freedoms. The Inter-American jurisdiction, based in San José, Costa Rica, since 1979, has a complementary character to national jurisdiction, the latter being responsible for the protection of the fundamental rights of individuals. The Inter-American Court, on its part, interprets and applies international provisions, particularly the American Convention on Human Rights. Today, one of most notable and appreciated phenomena in the development of the Inter-American System of Human Rights protection is the reception of international standards on human rights in the legal systems pertaining to various countries. And, with growing strength and frequency in many South American countries, the corresponding national reception of international legal criteria. The higher courts in these countries, the Supreme Courts and Constitutional Courts, have welcomed the thesis of the Inter-American Court of human rights as an interpreter of the American Convention, thus providing new horizons to the protection of human rights. Editorial BoardDiálogo Jurisprudencial has no established editorial board. The members of the Court appear as editors: Cecilia Medina Quiroga (president), Diego García Sayán (vice-president), Manuel E. Ventura Robles, Sergio García Ramírez, Leonardo Franco, Margarette May Macaulay and Rhadys Abreu Blondet. And the members of the Instituto Interamericano de Derechos Humanos

Diánoia(Dianoia)

Profile and ContentsDiánoia publishes original articles on Spanish. The journal is open to various philosophical currents. Submitted articles undergo twice double-blind arbitration by specialists in the area, to ensure quality criteria.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes Spanish and Portuguese-speaking philosophers.

HistoryDiánoia was was first published in 1955 as a publication of the Institute for Philosophical Research and the Fondo de Cultura Económica publishing house. Until 2001, it appeared annually, but from that date on it is published twice a year, in May and November. This realignment has allowed more space for discussions and reviews. No other periodical philosophy publication in Mexico is quite as old. And no other delivers

an overview of the philosophical production in our language. The presentation written by Eduardo Nicol in the first issue is an important document guiding to the understanding of the spirit of the journal and of the moment in which it sprung. Nicol explains that the Spanish-speaking philosophical community’s level is high enough to cultivate genuine, clear, rigorous and systematic scientific philosophy. That is, steps transcending a philosophy of essays and ideology had been taken. On basis of this diagnosis, he also claimed that finally there were the foundations to create a specialized body in philosophy with a scientific and international character.

Achievements and AwardsDiánoia is one of the oldest philosophy journals in Latin America. In the last ten years, it has become a space for critical, rigorous and pluralistic dialogue between all the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking philosophers. Though Diánoia publishes only articles in Spanish, past numbers include translations of works by English-speaking philosophers. Along its existence, Diánoia has distinguished itself by the plurality of subjects, methods and traditions in the articles published. In 2008, and line with this, the journal created the Diánoia Chair, allowing for the periodical presence of philosophers from different horizons and the highest level, teaching on key issues of their discipline.

EncrucijadaBoletín del Seminario de Escultura. Revista Digital(Crossroads. Bulletin of the Sculpture Seminar. Digital Journal)

Profile and ContentsEncrucijada has been conceived as an international publication. Its contents, since the number zero, have spread articles focusing on national and international sculpture. The journal echoes the tools offered by the new technologies, thus reaching global dissemination, and a more than acceptable approval and recognition by the international academic community, including non-specialists on the theme.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes art history scholars, especially those focusing on sculpture. Special emphasis is given to art works generated during colonial times in diverse artistic centers.

HistoryThe digital journal Encrucijada was first published in November, 2008, as a product and fundamental part of the Seminar on Colonial Sculpture of the Institute for Aesthetic Research, the Program of Support to Research Projects and Technological Innovation-PAPIT IN402809-3: “Under the sign of Proteus: Sculpture in New Spain. Disciplines in pursuit of tools for the study of versatile images”. This project is codirected by Patricia Díaz Cayeros and Paul Amador Marrero, both members of the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas, UNAM.Compared to other sections of Mexican art historiography, sculpture was lacking a specific forum. Prior to the appearance of Encrucijada, there was no space for scholars of sculpture to meet in an interdisciplinary way and put forward,

Measures: Diverse


in a rigorously refereed publication, a multitude of specific studies. Thus, Encrucijada has become a benchmark for scholars of art history, this being reflected in the selected content and form of the materials published herein.

HistoryEstudios de Cultura Maya was first published in 1961, one year after the Seminario de Cultura Maya (Seminar on Mayan Culture) became part of the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Faculty of Philosophy and Literature, UNAM). It began to be published under the initiative of Alberto Ruz Lhuillier (its founding director) with the purpose of having an official organ of communication among mayistas worldwide. Its creation was strongly supported by Efrén del Pozo, Secretary General of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in those years. Del Pozo considered that the study of Mayan civilization was well worth fostering the formation of a permanent nucleus for its study and diffusion. The initial


honorary board was international and composed by specializing on the Mayan culture such as Herbert J. Spinden and Alfred V. Kidder, and two Mexican anthropologists, Alfonso Caso and Daniel Rubín de la Borbolla. There is also the noteworthy collaboration of the British Eric Thompson, as permanent advisor and scholar. Additionally, four specialists were named as permanent researchers, Calixta Guiteras Holmes, Alfonso Villa Rojas, Alfredo Barrera Vásquez and César Lizardi Ramos. Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (Mexico) integrated the journal into its index as of February, 2010.

Estudios Latinoamericanos(Latin American Studies)

Measures: 16.5 x 23 cm (6.50 x 9.06 in)

Profile and ContentsEstudios Latinoamericanos aims to contribute collectively to the reflection, academic exchange and conceptual theoretical debate on Latin America taking place in the socio-political, economic and cultural arenas. It promotes knowledge on the particularity of the region in the processes of global transformation. Additionally, it is a forum on the main trends for reformulating knowledge of the area and of its interaction with the world, from a multi and interdisciplinary perspective, adopting a critical and prospective approach. Published works are original and unpublished research. In twenty-two years, from 1986 until 2008, Estudios Latinoamericanos has disclosed texts on the social sciences, on Latin American thought and on the processes of knowledge. Additional topics have been democracy and democratization; relations of Latin America with the United States and the world; political processes and social movements; economic analysis and political and economic integration. Other addressed issues are the State, political systems, sovereignty

and geopolitics; labor and labor flexibility; socio-cultural processes and gender, and environment and sustainable development.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes academics, students and public interested in contemporary Latin American and Caribbean situation, in the sociopolitical, economical and cultural spheres.

HistoryThe history of the journal is closely linked to the Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos-CELA (UNAM); published for the first time in 1960 by Pablo González Casanova, then head of the Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales. Both projects came about inspired by the idea of discussing and integrating different currents of Latin American thought emanating from Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean. The immediate antecedent of the journal were the Cuadernos del CELA, published in several series since 1973.


In its first phase, from 1986 to 1992, the journal published thirteen numbers expressing the theoretical and analytical production of the Centro. The purpose was to promote dialogue between the various disciplines and perspectives on Latin American reality regarding democracy, economic crisis and the phenomenon of external debt; the processes of revolution and social change in Central America, among other topics. El Caribe Contemporáneo was the name of a publication, which became integrated to Estudios Latinoamericanos in those initial years. As of 1994, the journal came to be a semiannual publication, now touching topics related to the emergence of the NAFTA and of the European Union, the opening up to the Pacific, and Latin American presence in the world. In that decade, the journal also fueled the experiences of Latin American exiles who returned to their countries of origin. Estudios Latinoamericanos has published twenty-two issues. Additionally, two special issues: in 2005, commemorating the 45th anniversary of the CELA, and in 2006, on occasion of the journal’s 20th anniversary.

Geofísica Internacional(International Geophysics)

Profile and ContentsGeofísica Internacional is a scientific quarterly publishing, even in English, original articles of research in diverse areas of geophysical sciences. It is addressed to seismology, volcanology, space physics, paleomagnetism and tectonic, hydrology and exploration, physical oceanography, geology and marine geology, geochemistry and atmospheric sciences. Papers undergo a strict evaluation process by peers appointed by an associate editor.

Target PublicThe intended audience includes researchers and graduates students in the area of geosciences.

HistoryGeofísica Internacional was first published in 1960 under the initiative of the Unión Geofísica Mexicana-UGM (Mexican Geophysical Union) and a team of enthusiastic researchers like Julián Adem (director of the Institute of Geophysics)

and Manuel Maldonado Koerdell, among others. Aware of the lack of a forum publishing results of research in the area of geosciences, they took advantage of the generous support granted to the Institute of Geophysics by the UNAM. In its second phase (1977), Ismael Herrera Revilla took over the journal. From 1989 to 2010, Cinna Lomnitz Aronsfrau was the chief editor of the publication, which nowadays is edited by Andrea Rostan.

Editorial BoardJosé Francisco Valdés Galicia (director of the Instituto de Geofísica, UNAM, Mexico), José Manuel Romo Jones (president of the Unión Geofísica Mexicana), Cinna Lomnitz Aronsfrau and Andrea Rostan (editor in chief).

Achievements and AwardsThe National Council for Science and Technology (Conacyt) ratified Investigación Económica as an excellence and quality journal. It was not only favorably evaluated but also without recommendations for inclusion in the 2006-2007 Irmicyt index. During recent years, the journal has been invited to be present in several databases and indexes, and is recognized by the scientific community as a relevant and high quality publication. It was qualified by the Comissão para a Melhoria do Ensino de Pós-Graduação no Brasil (Commission for the Improvement of Post Graduate Teaching in Brazil) as the best Mexican economics journal, even surpassing El Trimestre Económico.

In 2007, Investigación Económica established the “Juan F. Noyola Vázquez” award, which is granted annually to the best research article published during the year. The selection process for the winning article goes about by a qualifying jury integrated by members of the University, of the editorial board and of personalities alien to the Instituto de Investigaciones Económicas. This has allowed for objective, non-partial selection criteria. To this date, three awards have been granted, that is, three diplomas with their respective monetary incentive. These have gone to “Winners and Losers of Regional Growth in Mexico and their Dynamics”, by Eduardo Rodríguez-Oreggia, in 2007. “The macroeconomics of aggregate demand and the price level”, by Thomas I. Palley, in 2008, and “Efectos de la liberalización comercial en el crecimiento económico y la balanza de pagos en América Latina”, by Penélope Pacheco López, in 2009.

HistoryInstrumentación y Desarrollo, the journal of the Sociedad Mexicana de Instrumentación, SOMI (Mexican Society for Instrumentation), was was first published in 1981 with the following

objectives: a) to publish and disseminate the results of high quality research and development efforts in the field of instrumentation. b) To support the consolidation of a Mexican professional community devoted to the technological development of new products to help solving the problems of developing countries, like ours. During twenty years, this publication evolved adopting the format of an international journal, with an international advisory editorial board and a rigorous procedure for article acceptance. It later changed its name for Instrumentation & Development. The papers had to be written in English and were reviewed by three independent referees specialized in the papers’ topics. Consequently, the journal was officially admitted in the index of the National Council for Science and Technology (Conacyt). On the way to achieve international recognition, the journal ought to be published by a specialized editorial house or else, a renowned university that would guarantee the necessary intellectual and economic resources. The aim


was to print a minimum of three issues per year, with a minimum of 1000 copies, and to count with a broad international distribution to achieve the necessary impact factor. Considering these facts, the SOMI decided to transfer the journal to the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, via its Centro de Ciencias Aplicadas y Desarrollo Tecnológico (Center por Applied Sciences and Technological Research), changing its name to Journal of Applied Research and Technology (JART), since the scope of the publication has broadened. In order to facilitate the editing work, Ovsei Gelman, in those days the editor in chief of the journal, headed a computerized design project. This system was under operation from 2002 to 2006 when, based on the accumulated experience, the editing process underwent modifications.

History The manipulation of matter at the nanometric scale begins to be a powerful platform for innovative applications that have the potential to affect virtually all aspects of our lives. Expectations are such that it is thought that this is a new technological revolution. Headed by nanotechnology, but also by biotechnology, robotics, computer and cognitive sciences, among others, the impulse of this new scientific-technological advance is growing steadily. That is why the end of the 1990s registers a series of governmental and business initiatives for the advancement of research and development in nanosciences and nanotechnology, but also of the so-called “converging technologies” in general. At the UNAM (Mexico) in particular, the network of research groups in nanosciences (Regina) was formed in 2003. The University Environmental Nanotechnology Project (Proyecto Universitario de Nanotecnología Ambiental-PUNTA) was created in 2005, and by March, 2008, UNAM’s Nanosciences and Nanotechnology Center was inaugurated in Ensenada, Baja California. In 2009, the Nano-UAM consortium was integrated as a work-group for conducting the NanoMex event, the publication of the Mundo Nano journal, and the organization of diverse education and dissemination activities. Considering that the advancement of science and technology in the 21st century

turns increasingly complex, we assume that the discussion of nanosciences and nanotechnology in a comprehensive, open and interdisciplinary context is crucial. That is, the debate must include a wide range of specialists from the exact sciences, the social sciences and humanities, from business, the political sphere, among others. Mundo Nano is a journal that emerges from the imminent need for promoting high quality interdisciplinary dialogue on the real advancements, the promises and the implications of nanotechnology. This in order to enrich national decisions related to maximizing benefit-sharing, defining the responsibilities and the minimization of unnecessary or unwanted costs. It is an initiative of “The world in the 21st century” program, the Centro de Investigaciones Interdisciplinarias en Ciencias y Humanidades (Center for Interdisciplinary Research in the Sciences and Humanities, UNAM, Mexico), the Centro de Nanociencias y Nanotecnología (Center of Nanosciences and Nanotechnology, UNAM) and the Proyecto Universitario de Nanotecnología Ambiental (University Project for Environmental Nanotechnology, UNAM).

Ola Financiera(Financial Wave)

Profile and ContentsOla Financiera is an electronic publication that disseminates the results of rigorous analyses and reflections on financial and international economics among the international and local scientific community, and it’s aim is to contribute to the comprehension of financial topics in the complex sphere of political economics. Its mission is to widen scientific research and its diffusion in topics relating to the contemporary financial economy. The journal was started by a research group formed by academics pertaining to the Instituto de Investigaciones Económicas at the Facultad de Economía (Economics Faculty, UNAM), the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-UAM (Mexico), and the Universidad de Zacatecas (Mexico). Academics from universities in USA, Canada, Argentina, Spain and France are included among its collaborators. The financial economy is increasingly becoming predominant in the international socio-economic scenario. This has the implication that power and money are being re-distributed in the contemporary world, and therefore, social scientists and citizens alike require more

information and correct analyses about these issues. A world scenario with a new power distribution, with emerging dominant economies and the decline of the US dollar hegemony and of its institutions, is affecting nearly all productive sectors and the markets all over the world. The contradictions of the financial economy bring about multiple consequences and conditions, such as inflation-deflation-stagnation, changes in relative prices and in the consumption and saving patterns, a decrease of formal employment and of the wage-earners income, as well as new productive models. Therefore, the importance of generating an original and solidly based knowledge of financial economics. The journal also offers a discerning forum to the regional and national social scientists, in addition to the tools and knowledge needed for the generation of ideas and policies that enable meeting the challenges of development. The journal addresses the following to pics: financial economy, economics, contemporary economic history, development and political economy. Additionally, it disseminates the results


of rigorous reflection and analyses regarding the above mentioned topics among the local and international university and scientific communities, thereby contributing to the comprehension of the complex sphere of political economics in relation to finance issues. It is a journal discussing contemporary economic problems, in particular, of financial econo mics and its interrelation with other economic fields. A publication backed by intellectual and academic responsibility, with the collaboration of academics from various universities in USA, UK, Spain, France, Mexico, Argentina and other countries. Ola Financiera discloses articles that are the outcome of research, either presented at seminars, colloquia, congresses, etc. or asked for specifically for publication herein. The said articles are evaluated by a dictaminating committee. The committee includes specialists in financial and international economics, as well as on economic development topics. Each article is sent to three specialists for evaluation.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes the academic sector and economists involved in policy making.

HistoryPublished in 2008 for the first time Ola Financiera responds to an original need in the early nineties of communicating research outcome from the Red de investigación en Economía Financiera, which includes academics from various universities at home and abroad. After over fifteen years of research and academic work, this network headed by an academic group pertaining to the Instituto de Investigaciones Económicas and the Facultad de Economía, decides to enter the world of electronic publications. This editorial project seeks to maintain the originality and excellence of the work done so far, which is the outcome of the leadership earned in Latin America regarding scientific research in these topics.

Península(Peninsula)

The journal is open to collaborations from colleagues of other academic centers working in or about the Yucatan Peninsula. It is therefore feasible to find in its pages texts on Descartes and Kant and essays on Barthes, Maupassant and Sade. Along with reflections on expedition diaries in the Viceroyalty of New Spain and reports by travelers regarding the province of Rio de La Plata. Or Hispanic American narrative on pirates in the Caribbean, as well as reviews of books recently edited in English, French, Italian and, of course, Spanish. The chronological range is equally broad: analysis of Peninsular colonial documents (in Maya and Spanish) along with others on literature of the Hispano-American baroque or about private love-correspondence in Yucatan and Guatemala. In addition, articles on socio-economic issues as those regarding life in the haciendas, the manufacture of aguardiente and drunkenness in colonial Guatemala or the role played by the indigenous religiosity in the conformation of paces of political, economic, and social reconquest. The 19th century, particularly troubled in the Southern region of the country and especially


relevant for the comprehension of regionalisms, is represented by texts on collectionism, literary journals, analysis of texts by travelers, and studies on medical practices and conceptions. The studies on contemporary reality address the indigenous religiosity in Guatemala, the relationship between Mayan Pentecostalism and the world-view, which tends to closeness with the antique Maya, ethnic frontiers and symbolic violence, trajectories of social ascent among the Mayas residing in Merida. In addition, there are collaborations dealing with vernacular architecture, the impact of publicity announcements in suicide attitudes (common in the region), or government agenda on development for the South. Other addressed topics of vital importance are the contemporary bet on ecotourism, the processes of socialization of knowledge, the vitality of indigenous languages and linguistic studies. The latter is a topic of enormous transcendence in the region, in view of which the journal has published essays totally written in Maya language. Península has established itself as a particularly valuable forum for exposition and reflection in the region and beyond, which receives collaborations by unknown as well as recognized authors. Highly renowned academics, including Helena Beristáin, Margit Frenk, Jacques Galinier, María Noel Lapoujade, Aurore Monod Becquelin, Estela Morales Campos, Perla Petrich and Luis Alfonso Ramírez Carrillo, have accepted their inclusion in the editorial board.

PoligrafíasRevista de Teoría Literaria y Literatura Comparada(Poligrafías. Journal of Literary Theory and Comparative Literature)

Profile and ContentsSince its founding, the journal Poligrafías. Revista de Literatura Comparada —now Poligrafías. Revista de Teoría Literaria y Literatura Comparada— had an interdisciplinary and intercultural character. Its articles address comparative literature and literary theory, as well as the arts and other disciplines that may interact with literature and/or literary theory. The themes developed in this journal are literary theory, literature in a cross-cultural context, analysis on one or several literary works, with an emphasis on some general theoretical problem or particular aspect of comparative literature (themes, images, historical settings, genres, etc), interdisciplinary topics about the relationships between literature and other disciplines and arts, and book-reviews relating to comparative literature.

Measures: 15 x 23 cm (5.91 x 9.06 in)

In the four issues published during its first epoch, Poligrafías distinguished itself by the prestige of its collaborators within and outside the country, and by having an important international editorial board. Authors who have published in this magazine have included prestigious specialists on literature, theory and semiotics, such as Jean Bessière André Collinot, Mario Valdés, Lois Parkinson-Zamora, María Teresa Zubiaurre and Richard Evans. The Mexican specialists incude Luz Aurora Pimentel, Françoise Perus, Dieter Rall, Federico Patán, Gabriel Weisz, José Ricardo Chaves, Rosa Beltrán and Irene Artigas. After a period of inactivity, Poligrafías starts its new epoch in 2010, in order to give continuity and new impetus to the original project of this specialized journal.


Target PublicIts intended audience includes academics and students interested in topics of comparative literature, semiotics and literary theory.

HistoryThe emergence of Poligrafías is inseparable from the trajectory of Luz Aurora Pimentel, Professor Emeritus of the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Faculty of Philosophy and Literature, UNAM, Mexico), who followed her M.A. and Ph.D. studies in comparative literature at Harvard University, USA. On her return to Mexico, she became a pioneer and referent in the field, since she created the graduate programme in comparative literature at the UNAM, the first and only, as such, offered in the country, and one of the few existing in Latin America. The multicultural and interdisciplinary approach of this new theoretical and methodological perspective woke up growing interest among literature scholars within and outside the country. Dr. Pimentel considered it necessary to found a magazine offering a forum to enhance comparative research, and promote the dialogue between national specialists and some of the most prestigious international “comparatistas” Published in 1996 for the first time by Luz Aurora Pimentel, Poligrafías aims to boost comparative research and create an

interdisciplinary and intercultural publication of international literature. The journal includes texts in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese on compared literature, literary theory, as well as on other arts and disciplines that can interact with these fields. Since its founding, Dr. Pimentel was the journal´s chief editor, and four issue were published under her supervision. Today, the editor is Adriana de Teresa, and the editoril board is conformed by academics of the area of literary theory in the Colegio de Letras Modernas and the Colegio de Letras Hispánicas of the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UNAM.

Profile and ContentsFor forty years, Problemas del Desarrollo has serviced its commitments to be a forum for all those collaborations inquiring about the obstacles to development, particularly in the Latin American scenario, and especially in Mexico. Many of these collaborations have been true milestones in theoretical advances. In the forty years pages of Problemas del Desarrollo, there is the testimony of the economic transformation processes as they occured in a great part of Latin America, and also of the relations between Mexico and its closest neighbours up North. At the same time, the journal gave testimony —via many of the critics of Neoclassical economics— of some major contributions that in the seventies began to question some models which already then showed their weaknesses. This critique was done from the

standpoint of political economics. Aware of the deep and dynamic transformations suffered by the economic reality in the world and in our continent, as well as of the new theoretical approaches that rescue the best of economic thought in all its aspects, the journal published articles by key authors in the development of economic science. Alongside, it discloses articles that show the need to replicate and confirm the endless arguments and contemporary theoretical assertions. Target PublicIts intended audience includes academics, scholars, students and social scientists.

HistoryIn the nineteensixties, Mexico stood out —

Problemas del Desarrollo. Revista Latinoamericana de Economía(Problems of Development. Latin American Economics Journal)


especially regarding foreign politics— in the Latin American panorama. It was in this context that several Mexican intellectuals created an organ of diffusion, which since then became the official publication of the Instituto de Investigaciones Económicas (Institute for Economic Research, UNAM, Mexico). Problemas del Desarrollo, Revista Latinoamericana de Economía appeared for the first time in 1969. It has been published uninterruptedly since then and up to the present day. This enterprise was possible thanks to the efforts of Fernando Carmona de la Peña (director of the Instituto de Investigaciones Económicas from 1968 to 1974), and of Alonso Aguilar Monteverde and Ricardo Torres Gaitán. The creation of this academic organ was thus a response to a priority. That is, to incorporate into economics the study of the phenomena of development in the framework of the so-called “theory of development”. For these economists, who created the journal, interdisciplinary work became essential. Problemas del Desarrollo was called to become a means of dialogue with sociologists and historians. The articles published in the first issue are pioneers in this regard.

Achievements and AwardsThe editorial and advisory committees have been diversified via the participation of colleagues from other national and international institutions.

Notable is the joint publication with the Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales of Problemas del Desarrollo edición Cono Sur.

Psicología y Ciencia Social(Psychology and Social Science)

Measures: 21.5 x 27.5 cm (8.46 x 10.83 in)

Profile and ContentsPsicología y Ciencia Social aims to be one of major psychology periodicals in Latin America. Its editorial policy is to publish articles on relevant issues of psychology as a science and profession, which are of interest and have impact on the discipline. The journal accepts for publication research articles on major areas (health, clinical psychology, political psychology, experimental psychology, psychology of gender, social and community psychology) that mean a step forward in this area. Articles on psychology related sciences are also considered for publication. Theoretical work, which must represent a contribution on the current state of a topic of contemporary psychology, will exceptionally be accepted. Interviews with prominent scientific personalities are also published. (Double blind) peer review processes by high-level researchers show a proofed scientific and methodological quality for the evaluation of manuscripts. The editorial critique in Psicología y Ciencia Social meets two purposes: on the one hand, a recommendation on the relevance of a manuscript can be duly substantiated. And on the other hand, there is

feedback to the authors regarding the quality of their work, indicating not only successes and failures, but also describing the steps they must take to correct the latter.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes scholars, graduate and postgraduate psychology students.

HistoryPsicología y Ciencia Social appeared for the first time in 1997, thanks to the initiative of several academics from the Multidisciplinary School for Higher Studies (FES) Iztacala, belonging to different areas of the psychology career. These areas include methodology, clinic, educational and social psychology. The credit for the realization of the idea goes to Jaime Montalvo Reyna, who proposed the journal project to Rafael Palacios Abreu, President of the College of Psychology. Thus a co-edition agreement was established between the direction of the FES Iztacala and the Colegio de Acadámicos de Psicología-CAPSI. The founders (Jaime Montalvo Reyna, Juan Manuel


Mancilla Díaz, Rafael Palacios Abreu, Maria Rosario Espinosa Salcido, Antonio Crown Gómez and Angela Hermosillo) they saw as its initial mission was consolidating an editorial project. The object was the implementation of a scientific journal where academics could disseminate their research and provide the academic community with a quality and plural journal on psychology and related sciences. Years later, Rosalía Vázquez Arévalo and Carmen Susana González Montoya joined the staff as associate editors.

Reforma Judicial Revista Mexicana de Justicia(Judicial Reform. Mexican Journal of Justice)

Profile and ContentsThe overall objectives of Reforma Judicial are manifold. a) To offer a general perspective on the Judiciary’s functions and trends via the publication of articles on analysis, doctrines and reviews generated by this branch of government. The aim is to provide tools for the work performed by the judiciary bodies at a state and a federal level, including the Comisión Nacional de Tribunales Superiores de Justicia (National Superior Courts of Justice Commission) and the Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (National Supreme Court of Justice). b) To analyze the normative conditions and reforms that affect the Judiciary´s functioning, in attendance to an ever growing need to generate reviews and proposals for the improvement of judiciary organs and their regulation. c) To serve as a publishing tool of the judiciary function, its effectiveness and contributions, addressing the creation of a more credible social perception regarding the work of the judges. d) To generate and expose doctrines

and opinions on the judiciary functions and the norms around it, by means of academic essays and/or reviews of useful bibliographic material that will help understand more precisely the world of laws and their applications. The topics addressed by Reforma Judicial focus on the following areas: The judiciary branch, its normativity and operation constitutes a forum for the analysis and exposure of the work done by judiciary organs, as well as the legal framework affecting its efficiency and performance conditions. Judicial reform within federal bodies exposes and comments on regulatory and structural changes carried out in relation to the Judiciary, in order to improve its effectiveness and operation. The constitution, legislation and jurisprudence from the judiciary perspective analyzes and exposes law making and jurisprudence in the country, always from the


perspective of those persons with a more direct and daily contact with it, namely, the judges. There is also a documentary section and another section dedicated to bibliographic reviews.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes the jurisdictional authorities in Mexico, with particular focus on those who are responsible for applying local justice, as well as experts and academics associated with the subject matters this publication is about.

HistoryReforma Judicial. Revista Mexicana de Justicia was born from an inclusive editorial project intending to delve into the study of a little-explored topic: the administration of justice. It was thought that up to the moment this journal was launched, there were no publications to follow up on the duties of Mexico’s courts and the Poder Judicial de la Federación (the Federation´s Judiciary Branch). This presented the opportunity of building a space where problems could be sorted out, ideas discussed and justice-related issues in Mexico exposed. This publication was first published in 2003, thanks to Hugo Alejandro Concha Cantú (director, founding member and current director) and the support of Dr. Diego Valadés Ríos, director at the time of the UNAM’s Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas (Institute for Legal Research, UNAM).

Editorial BoardSome members of the editorial board are members of the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas (UNAM, Mexico): Jorge Carpizo Mac Gregor, Héctor Fix-Zamudio, Sergio García Ramírez, José de Jesús Orozco Henríquez, José Luis Soberanes Fernández, and Diego Valadés. Some are court officials, academics and international experts: Francisco Fernández Segado, Antoine Garapon, Waleed Haider Malik, Rogelio Pérez Perdomo, Juan Silva Meza and Russel R. Wheeler.

HistoryThe Revista AIDIS de Ingeniería y Ciencias Ambientales. Investigación, Desarrollo y Práctica was the electronic successor of the Revista Ingeniería Sanitaria (Sanitation Engineering Journal), available only in printed format. Its first edition came out late in 2006 and since then five editions have been launched on topics relating to environmental and sanitation engineering. It was initially published in Chile, edited by the Chilean chapter of AIDIS, but by late 2007, through a cooperation agreement entered by them and AIDIS’s inter-American chapter, the Instituto de Ingeniería (Engineering Institute, UNAM) became its sponsor. The journal was restructured in 2009 and so was its editorial board. Germán Buitrón, researcher of the Instituto de Ingeniería became its new editor. The electronic edition of the journal changed then its format and platform, moving to the UNAM’s servers.

In 1950, the Consejo Universitario (University Council) unanimously approved the transformation of the Escuela Nacional de Jurisprudencia into the current Facultad de Derecho. Such a significant change became evident in its publications, and that was how the journal’s editorial board agreed to change its name to Revista de la Facultad de Derecho de México, it was first published under this name in January-June, 1951. During this second stage, this journal has published 251 editions, which added to the 49 of its first era, make up a grand total of 300.

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina(Journal of the Medicine Faculty)

Measures: 21 x 26.8 cm (8.27 x 10.55 in)

Profile and ContentsThe Revista de la Facultad de Medicina offers original articles on observation and clinical research, monographic essays on subjects of interest due to their frequency or to the fact that they have made progress recently as wll as reflections on controversial topics or on topics deserving conceptual consideration. Additionally it includes regularly pharmacology and immunology updates for general physicians, clinical cases and cases from the Comisión Nacional de Arbitraje Médico (National Medical Arbitrage Commission), history and and philosophy of medicine, and news from the UNAM and the Facultad de Medicina. All this besides offering a space to publish letters to the editor.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes physicians who are devoted partially or full time to the practice of general medicine, offering herein useful, practical material of a medium-high level of scientific

complexity, with emphasis on frequent clinical aspects and without forgetting the theoretical side of physiopathological explanations, cutting-edge topics and innovative concepts in all fields of the medical sciences.

HistoryRevista de la Facultad de Medicina appeared for the first time in 1959. Edited by Rodolfo Rodríguez Carranza (from Basic Sciences), this journal intended to have original research sources. However, not being registered in the Index Medicus, in Current Contents or in the Índice de Revistas Mexicanas de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica del Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (Mexican Index of Scientific and Technological Research of the National Council of Science and Technology), researchers felt little inclined to use it as a means to publish their works. In 1996, Alejandro Cravioto designated Manuel Quijano as its editor, and decided to turn


it into a tool of continuous education which would supplement the activities of the already existent Coordinación de Educación Médica Contínua (Subsystem for Continuous Medical Education, UNAM, Mexico) in order to enhance contact between the alumni and their alma mater. The result was a database including thirty thousand names and addresses of physicians from throughout the country, all of whom were asked to forward their personal information in postage-paid cards, in case they were interested in receiving the journal. This effort brought about a reliable list of twenty thousand physicians. The circulation of the journal was increased from one thousand to twenty-one thousand copies, turning it from quarterly into a bi-monthly publication, in order to respond to the information needs of health professionals from all over the country distant from academic and teaching centers. Since then, 500 copies are distributed among officials and department heads of the Faculty of Medicine, as well as to collaborating authors, clinical education centers and some 400 libraries and health institutions.

Profile and ContentsThe Revista de Literaturas Populares intends to be a meeting place for people interested in different aspects of popular literature, specifically Mexican. It is also a place to publish works related to other Hispanic and Portuguese-speaking nations. The journal publishes in Spanish and occasionally in Portuguese, well-documented and always unpublished studies and essays. In it, texts and documents are rigorously edited, with a brief introduction and the necessary glossary and annotations. When dealing with material originally composed in other languages, texts are accompanied by their translation into Spanish. In the Reviews segment, there are texts commenting on all types of books regarding our topics of interest. By literatures, we mean all kinds of oral or written artistic manifestations. By popular we refer, on the one hand, to folkloric literary expressions such as poetry, prose, drama or collection of sayings produced and reproduced in —mostly but not only limited to— oral manifestations and,

on the other hand, to popular publications, rags, romantic novels, comics and photo-novellas, i.e., printed, frequently vastly disseminated and mostly urban publications. Besides, the journal publishes new author-oriented works as well as works involving significant popular elements; it also includes theoretical and methodological discussions as well as articles that cross literary frontiers penetrating other branches of popular culture. Publication of collaborations sent to the journal is subject to arbitrage.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes specialists in popular literature and readers in general.

HistoryA group of our colleagues at the UNAM began getting together in 1996. Soon, we were working on the project of a journal with topics determined by us because they matched most of our common


interests. In a semiannual academic publication, we would carefully approach different manifestations of popular Mexican literature from a literary and philological viewpoint, addressing it at professionals as well as a vaster reading public. Authorities from our Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Philosophy and Literature Faculty, UNAM, Mexico) showed interest in our project. Soon, some of our colleagues began doing research trips through different parts of the country. Among other things, it was revealed that the project was unprecedented in Mexico and that there existed a genuine interest in it as well as a will to collaborate with it. That is how the second phase of the journal was launched, during which we began defining and structuring its contents, its different segments (Text and Documents, Studies, Reviews) and its editorial criteria, its format and design, the work of Mauricio López Valdés. For its title, we decided to use “literatures” in its plural form because it is not only devoted to oral and folkloric expressions but also to vastly disseminated printed ones (popular publications, rags and so forth). Through personal and professional contacts, we elaborated a list of possible collaborators and created our editorial board. Our first January-June 2001 edition was prepared and printed in February of that year as we worked on our second edition, which came out in January, 2002. Editions kept appearing rather regularly, twice a year. Thanks to the interest shown by

the public in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, we have opened the door to valuable collaborations on the popular literatures from Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Colombia, Peru and other countries. On the other hand, the rising interest of colleagues here and there have made us expand our disciplinary range; now we include works that combine the literary with the anthropological, musicological, historical focus. Our reviews cover a vast spectrum of topics, and for our tenth anniversary, we prepared a double edition dedicated to Mexican sones as studied by specialists from diverse viewpoints.

Revista Electrónica de Psicología Iztacala(Electronic Journal of Psychology)

Logo of the journal

Profile and ContentsRevista Electrónica de Psicología is a scientific publication specialized in any psychology trend having a scientific foundation. Its main voice is psychology in general and its topics have been selected by the authors.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes researchers in the field of psychology.

HistoryRevista Electrónica de Psicología appeared for the first time in XXXX and was born out of the need of the Faculty’s academics and researchers to have a space in which to publish and diffuse their research, as well as having access to a website in which scientifically-based psychology could be made known in Mexico and Latin America. In the face of difficulties to publish papers through conventional means such as printed journals and their problematic distribution to reach international scope, printing costs and so on, the

alternative of an electronic journal without these limitations was embraced. Academics at the clinical psychology area, forerunners of the journal, have supported this initiative, as well as academic and administrative authorities of the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala. At the beginning, the journal was published in HTML format, which created problems because students could simply download and print texts. The Revista Electrónica de Psicología is currently much better organized, since its articles are presented in the more stable and encryptable PDF format.

At first, incoming articles were insufficient to put together one edition. Today, there is a list of articles awaiting publication. On the other hand, it has been a pleasant surprise that an increasing number of national and international authors know the journal and are proposing their scientific papers to the editorial board for publication.


Profile and ContentsRevista Internacional de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades is a specialized publication for which, during the past eighteen years, renowned national and international researchers from countries such as Spain, the United States, Brazil, Chile and Mexico have been contributing, to widen the span of international social research. Topics in the Revista are approached from the viewpoint of disciplines such as social psychology, political psycho-sociology, intercultural studies, educational sociology and cultural and social anthropology. The journal has had a sustained development to the point of achieving almost full academic and financial autonomy, allowing it also to be independent in its editorial criteria and author selection.

Brazil and the US, while some others come from European and Asian nations. The journal is published in collaboration with the Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala (Autonomous University of Tlaxcala) via its Centro de Investigación en Genética y Ambiente (Center for Research on Genetics and the Environment) and with the Universidad Veracruzana (University of Veracruz) via its Dirección General de Investigaciones (General Direction of Research). On behalf of the UNAM, we have the participation of the Centro de Ciencias de la Atmósfera (Center of Atmospherical Sciences, UNAM, Mexico) and the Programa Universitario del Medio Ambiente-PUMA (University Environmental Program, UNAM, Mexico). This collaboration is ruled by the Convenio Tripartita de Colaboración UNAMUAT-


UV (Tripartite Collaboration Agreement UNAMUAT-UV), registered under number DGAJ-SJPi-33- 010405-173, signed on May 16, 2005.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes researchers and graduate students who work in the areas of pollution and environmental sciences.

HistoryResulting from the Congreso Nacional sobre Evaluación y Control de la Contaminación (National Conference on Pollution Assessment and Control) which took place in 1985, one of the agreements was to publish a scientific journal with the purpose of providing a means by which Mexican researchers could state the results of their work on different aspects of pollution. Responsibility for this project, promoted by the Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala and the Asociación Mexicana Contra la Contaminación del Agua y del Aire (Mexican Society Against Water and Air Pollution), befell on Rafael Villalobos Pietrini, researcher of the Centro de Ciencias de la Atmósfera, who proceeded to create an editorial board and establish an arbitrage board for the journal Contaminación Ambiental. In 1988, the journal changed its name to Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental and in 2005, after entering a collaboration

agreement with the UNAM, the participation of the Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala and the Universidad Veracruzana was thus consolidated.

Revista Jurídica Amicus Curiae(Amicus Curiae Judicial Journal)

Profile and ContentsThe Facultad de Derecho (Law Faculty, UNAM, Mexico) embraces the mission of strengthening the academy’s three fundamental principles: education, research and formation. To achieve this, the Revista Jurídica Amicus Curiae is the means of academic dissemination of the División de Universidad Abierta y Educación a Distancia de la Facultad de Derecho (Open and Distance Education Division of the Law Faculty, UNAM, Mexico). It upholds the permanent goal of updating students and researchers of the legal sciences through the treatment, analysis and reflection of innovative topics emerging in the different fields of legal knowledge in a globalized context. The aim is to form highly-qualified specialists, enabling them to be scientific, academic and social leaders whose opinions and suggestions will be a reference for the elaboration of the new legal framework required by Mexican society in the 21st century. The Faculty and the editorial guidelines of Amicus Curiae attempt to create, preserve, interpret and

disseminate juridical knowledge that is spread in institutions for higher studies linked to law teaching.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes students and scholars of the different branches of legal scien ces; researchers, students, members and aspiring members to civil service, as well as to the admi nistration and procurement of justice.

HistoryAmicus Curiae is a Latin legal expression, meaning “friend of the court”, referring to someone who is not part of a case but who voluntarily provides legal information or some aspect which might aist the legal body in solving a dispute. Amicus Curiae was first published by División de Universidad Abierta of the Facultad de Derecho in March, 2008, with Alma de los Ángeles Ríos Ruiz heading the division. At the time, it


was thought this academic instance demanded a means of legal cultural dissemination on issues of its community’s interest. It should pose current issues, their potential solutions and analysis, allowing for the critique of doctrines, laws and jurisprudence in national and comparative law. The editorial project takes advantage of available technological resources in the cyberspace with the goal of spreading research, reflections and juridical collaborations. Additionally, the División once again expresses its commitment to students, academics and researchers, stimulating legal analysis.

Revista Latinoamericana de Derecho Social(Latin American Journal of Social Law)

reference for law students and graduates as well as scholars in general, including union leaders and members, as well as specialists and national and foreign students of social law.

HistoryRevista Latinoamericana de Derecho Social (RLDS) was first published in 2005 at the request of the Coordinación de Derecho Social of the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas (Social Law Research Subsystem of the Institute for Legal Research, UNAM). Diego Valadés, director of the Institute at that time, thought it convenient to create an arena to renovate reflection on juridical problems and topics that had occupied Mexican doctrine for almost a hundred years and revitalizing studies related to social law, a part of social constitutionalism born in the early 20th century. The journal initiated publication with Patricia Kurczyn Villalobos, then coordinator of the area


of social law, pretending to delve in the study of matters relevant mainly to labor law, social security and agrarian law, even when reflection and research were left open to the topics of social rights in the face of social inequity, including discrimination and gender. The purpose of this institutional effort was to take up the tradition of social juridical thinking that characterized Mexican doctrine. The goal was to enrich the debate on juridical-social trends that would allow for the design of new institutions in the resolution of what is now “the new social issue”, which has lately opened deep social differences. At the beginning of the edition, the Institute did not have any specialized publication on these topics, particularly because of the legislative tendency of achieving a labor reform and the already reformed social security legislation, which has caused a deep riff in the country for over ten years. On the other hand, the journal is committed to cover a serious space of scientific analysis with regard to social rights issues with a juridical viewpoint, since other publications deal with the economic, sociological and political aspects. Along with the above, the practice of comparative law was considered interesting and useful to open up to experiences and concerns in other countries, and making Mexican doctrine known among academics from Latin America and other countries as well.

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad(Mexican Journal of Biodiversity)

Measures: 21 x 27 cm (8.27 x 10.63 in)

Profile and Contents Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad publishes original scientific work by Mexican and Latin American authors in Spanish or English, addressing the knowledge of biodiversity. It includes its systematic knowledge, biogeography, ecology and evolution, its conservation, management and usage. Currently, the articles being published emanate from researchers and their collaborators, including students of the UNAM and of other educational and research institutions who intend that their work be known by experts from the same field and hope for a feedback to improve their daily work.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes students, academics and researchers interested in biodiversity topics (taxonomy, biogeography, ecology, evolution), its conservation, management and usage in the American continent.

HistoryRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad appeared for the first time in 2005, resulting from the restructuration of the Instituto de Biología’s prestigious periodical publication (Series Zoología y Botánica), which initiated almost since the founding of the Institute, in 1929. Its main purpose was to publicize the results of research undertaken by academics. This restructuring was attributable to the ultimate goal of the journal, that of being a dissemination organ of research on biodiversity that is carried out not only in Mexico but also throughout Latin America. At the same time, this process also responded to prevailing needs of our time such as the new digital technology and open access to information.

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas(Mexican Journal of Geological Sciences)

Target PublicIts intended audience includes the Mexican and international scientific community and the industrial sector.

HistoryThe journal was preceded by the Revista del Instituto de Geología, which started publication in 1975. It was renamed in 1994, aiming to formalize it and expand its audience. Between 1998 and 2001, the journal was co-edited by the Instituto de Geología and the Sociedad Geológica Mexicana. The Facultad de Ingeniería (UNAM, Mexico), the Instituto Nacional de Geoquímica and the Sociedad Mexicana de Paleontología were integrated as co-editors in 2002. These unification efforts have allowed to conform a more solid publication, covering a greater number


of disciplines in the sciences of the Earth. As a result, the journal has turned into an international forum, publishing works by Mexicans as well as collaborations originating in several other countries. The electronic publication of the journal initiated in 2002. Thus a Web site was created offering free access to all articles published since 1975. Thanks to this initiative, there followed a notorious increase in the journal’s visibility, bringing with it an increase in the number of quotes and of articles sent for publication. Finally, taking into consideration that the vast majority of readers access the journal on the Internet , that printing costs have increased and that paper distribution is difficult, in 2009 the decision was taken to publish the journal exclusively in virtual format.

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales(Mexican Journal of Political and Social Sciences)

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales discusses current national, Latin American and global issues. It is composed of three main sections: 1) theoretical perspectives, 2) contemporary issues and 3) society and politics, to which two regular sections are added: a) documents and b) reviews. Being a multidisciplinary journal, it addresses topics related to the social sciences in general. It includes the following fields of knowledge: 1. Institutions, levels of government and political processes; 2. Administration and public management; 3. Public policies; 4. State, institutions and political processes; 5. Actors, movements and social processes; 6. Culture, society and politics; 7. Political communication and public opinion; 8. Communication and culture; 9. Communication and technological innovations; 10. International society, actors and structures; 11. Regions, institutions and diversity; 12. Mexico, foreign policy and international context.


Target PublicIts intended audience includes the national and international social sciences community members.

HistoryRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales dates back to 1955. It came about in the former National School of Political and Social Sciences (UNAM, Mexico) as an expression of the nacient process of institutionalization and professionalization of the social sciences. With the creation of this journal, the School opened a channel for the dissemination of research and reflection emanating from its academic staff, and thereby contributed to strengthening the training of social scientists. Thus, during its early years, Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales became the organ of dissemination of the only existing school dedicated to train professionals in sociology, international relations, political science, public administration and science communication. The articles published herein became a required resource for all those interested in the social sciences Years after, when the School turned into a Faculty (offering graduate studies), the journal was renamed, responding to modifications taking place in the Faculty´s editorial conception. Nevertheless, being the scientific diffusion organ of the graduate studies division, the consolidation of permanent traits were defined until today. This was much more significant during its fifth stage (beginning with number 161, July-September, 1995), which

attested the modification not only of its periodicity but also of its contents in light of academic reforms, resulting in the creation of the Graduate Program in Political and Social Sciences in January, 1999. The graduate program features the enhancement of multidisciplinary and interinstitutional collaboration, allowed for joint efforts by researchers and academics from the Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, the Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales, and the Centro de Investigaciones sobre América del Norte, the Centro Regional de Investigaciones Multidisciplinarias and the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Acatlán. The institutional collaboration of these entities is joined, in turn, by researchers and academics from other institutes and centers at the UNAM, and from other universities and institutions of higher learning as well. Today, the journal plays a prominent role among social scientists, in virtue of promoting the direct link between research and advanced training processes. Further, it constitutes an important resource for the new graduate program’s purpose of enlarged reproduction of its academic and professional communities. In this sense, the journal must be regarded as the star acting in the process of academic redefinition since it incorporates the reflections carried out in the social sciences today regarding the great contemporary theoretical challenges. Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales publishes articles and reviews that retrieve and revitalize this debate.

Revista Mexicana de Opinión Pública(Mexican Journal of Public Opinion)

HistoryRevista Mexicana de Opinión Pública is a joint project between the Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales (UNAM, Mexico) and the Consejo de Investigadores de la Opinión Pública A.C. The journal sums and articulates the rich experience and solid knowledge of prestigious enterprises pertaining to the Council of researchers on public opinion with the knowledge and intellectual concerns of the academics. The publication opens its pages to the analysis and discussion of the public opinion, both at the level of the basic theoretical problems and the methodological, technical and juncture aspects. The journal emerged in 2005 on the initiative of Fernando Castañeda, coordinador of the Centro de Estudios de Opinión Pública of the Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales and Ricardo de la Peña, president of the Consejo de Investigadores de la Opinión Pública. The first issue was published in April, 2006. Authors who have written in RMOP include the major pollsters of our country:


Alejandro Moreno, Ricardo de la Peña, Daniel Lund, Edmundo Berumen and UNAM academics whose field of study is the public opinion, as Fernando Castaños, Rodrigo Jokisch and Fernando Castañeda. One of the issues which was of greatest interest to the readers was number 2, released in October, 2006. The analysis of the presidential elections in Mexico served to move from a raucous discussion in the media to a serene, systematized and founded reflection on the dynamics of public opinion.

pioneer of the green revolution. It is also worth highlighting that published articles pertain largely to renowned authors and, occasionally, present results of duly assessed degree theses.

Target PublicThe journal is destined to researchers, academics and students of the Multidisciplinary School for Higher Studies Zaragoza as an option to publish in their own language in order to publicize the research that is carried out in this institution, but also to foreign and regional research centres for enriching research experience.

HistoryIn the early nineties of the past century, the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza, UNAM was the home for a project called Programa Editorial, which sought to be a vehicle for disseminating scientific articles. This project arose from the Subsystem

Measures: 21.3 x 28 cm (8.39 x 11.02 in)


of Graduate Studies, Academic Research and Development (Coepida) which, with funding from the Graduate Studies Divisions Support Program (PAPED) and coordinated by the Graduate and Reserach Secretariat, first printed the journal TIP Tópicos de Investigación y Posgrado, was first published in September, 1989. This journal was reorganised in 1997 with the purpose of defining its profile by the specific area of expertise, and was then announced as Tip. Revista Especializada en Ciencias Químico-Biológicas, only retaining the acronym Tip from its original name. This occurred still as Programa Editorial at the former Research Division, which in 1998 became the División de Estudios de Posgrado e investigación y Programa Editorial, year in which the fisrt issue of the new journal appeared.

Tlalocan. Revista de Fuentes para el Conocimiento de las Culturas Indígenas(Tlalocan. Journal on Sources for the Knowledge of Indigenous Cultures)

Profile and ContentsTlalocan. Revista de Fuentes para el Conocimiento de las Culturas Indígenas publishes documentary sources and texts on the oral tradition in indigenous languages of Mexico and the linguistically related groups of Guatemala and the southwestern United States. In addition, documents closely related to the indigenous communities have been posted in Spanish. To quote some representative contributions, we mention texts by father Garibay, with translations by Sahagún, and the cantares mexicanos (Mexican songs), the Tancítaro, Tequisquiac, Citlaltepec and Xilocingo relations published by Bernal. Other relations edited by Peter Gerhard and Eric Thompson, and several documents prepared by Barlow. The analysis of documentary sources is represented by the works of authors like Pedro Carrasco, William Fellowes, Miguel León-Portilla,

Luis Reyes, Alfred Lemmon, Noemí Quesada, Luis González R., Munro S. Edmonson, Carlos Navarrete, Guido Münch, Lawrence H. Feldman, John M. Dedrick, Robert M. Carmack and James Mondloch, René Acuña, Roberto Moreno de los Arcos, Mario Humberto Ruz and Ramón Arzápalo. Authors who are speakers of indigenous languages collaborate as well.

Target PublicIts intended audience includes researchers in anthropology, ethnohistorians or linguists, and members of the same ethnic groups. HistoryTlalocan was founded by two young scholars of Mesoamerican cultures: Robert Barlow and George T. Smisor. The journal initiated and


remained for several years without fixed academic institutional membership, but rather with the personal support of researchers who wished to keep it going. The first issue appeared in 1943, in Sacramento, California, USA: The House of Tlaloc. The four issues of volume I were published with small printings, between 1943 and 1944. The Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia-INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History, Mexico) supported the publication of volume II from 1945 to 1948, by its commitment to acquire a generous amount of copies. The San Jacinto Museum of History collaborated for the publication of volume III. Robert Barlow, its founding editor, died in 1951. At that time, Fernando Horcasitas took over as editor with the collaboration of Ignacio Bernal. In spite of many difficulties, the journal continued publication via the efforts of its publishers, especially Horcasitas, some support the INAH and other foundations and the help of Doris Heyden and Carolina Czitrom. For the publication of volume VII and VIII, Ignacio Bernal had to relinquish his participation. Horcasitas, who was researcher at the Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas (Institute for Anthropological Research, UNAM, Mexico) asked

Miguel León-Portilla to collaborate as co-editor, and he in turn got the support of the Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas (Institute for Historical Research, UNAM) so the journal became a joint publication, co-edited and supported by the institutes of both editors. With this change, in addition, it ceased to appear with four issues per volume to become one large volume. Volume VIII, published in 1980, was the last edited by Horcasitas and León-Portilla. For the edition of volume IX, León-Portilla invited Karen Dakin, of the Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas (Institute for Philological Research, UNAM, Mexico) as co-editor. Ruben Bonifaz Nuño, the founder and head of the Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas was greatly interested in the study of philological sources and indigenous cultures, so the journal turned into a joint publication of both Institutes (Investigaciones Históricas and Filológicas), who published three volumes between 1981 and 1992. However, after the publication of volume XI, Dr. Portilla decided to cede any edition of the journal to the reestablished language seminar at the Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas, and Karen Dakin stayed as director of Tlalocan, continuing its publication. Volume XII, appeared


in 1997; volume XIII in 2001. Volume XIV, dedicated to purépecha studies with guest editor Frida Villavicencio, appeared in 2004. Volume XV, co-edited with Rosa Yáñez of the University of Guadalajara, in 2008, and the XVI volume, co-edited with Francisco Arellanes, from the same seminar on indigenous languages, in 2009, so the periodicity of Tlalocan has become rather regular.

Editorial BoardIts editorial board is conformed by all researchers of the Seminario de Lenguas Indígenas: Francisco Arellanes Arellanes, Karen Ilse Dakin Anderson, Paulette Levy Brzezinska, Ascensión Hernández Treviño, Mercedes Montes de Oca Vega, Carolyn O’Meara, Michel Robert Oudijk, Guadalupe Verónica Vázquez Soto and Lilián Guerrero Valenzuela.

Indexed inModern Language Association International Bibliography (MLA).

Achievements and AwardsThe documentation provided by the journal is a unique record of many language variants, traditions, and documents.

Vertientes. Revista Especializada en Ciencias de la Salud(Derivations. Specialized Journal of Health Sciences)

HistoryPublished in 1998 for the first time, Tópicos de Investigación y Posgrado emerges as a project of the former Escuela Nacional de Estudios Profesionales Zaragoza, seeking to bring together the knowledge generated by its academic staff, in a quality publication open to the community of the University and other institutions of higher education (IHE) with scientific, cultural and general information contents. Following a profound reflection on its contents, generated by the development of the Multidisciplinary School, the journal was divided into three different areas, resulting in two new publications for each. For the area of health sciences the journal Vertientes comes about. For the area of biochemical sciences we have the Tip (Tópicos de Investigación y Posgrado) journal, and for the social area the publication BIEN (Boletín de Investigación,


Educación y sus Nexos), which ceased publication in 1999. Vertientes thus arose in 1998 with the idea of integrating a journal that would not only be the information organ of the school body, but also publish original articles, reviews and monographs offering updated topics in different areas for students and teachers. In addition, allowing the development of the good habit of scientific writing among all members of this university unit, always with the idea of gradually improving the quality of the articles.After 20 years of publication, Vertientes has remained as a journal of high scientific rigor, which honors the scientific background emanating from the projects of our academics and guests.

Achievements and AwardsIts primary benefit is the dissemination of knowledge, because it is a tool for easy access to the entire scientific community. In addition, it has greatly promoted the advancement of research in the Multidisciplinary School for Higher Studies Zaragoza and the training of human resources in research. For many graduate students it allows a first exercise in the publication of research results in editorial products with scientific rigour.


Profile and ContentsVeterinaria México emerged as a scientific publication in order to positively affect the interests of researchers in animal husbandry and the veterinary sciences, thereby to contribute to fill the space required by the latter for disseminating the results of their work. Its contents include the following sections: scientific articles, review articles and research notes. It is necessary to emphasize that the best work by its authors in the various specialties is selected for publication. The readers thus know the progress of the lines of investigation in these disciplines. Veterinaria México discloses dissemination articles in the fields of pathology, parasitology, nontraditional species, microbiology, small species, biochemistry, larger species, animal production, ethology, preventive medicine, nutrition, genetics, animal breeding, etc. In four decades, the development of the journal has been impressive. Being in its infancy a journal with limited possibilities for editing,
