Focus and Scope

The Journal publishes articles concerning legal and economic sciences from broad perspectives. We receive papers from researchers, university professors, graduates and, in some cases, students that are linked to researching projects.

There are three sections:

 

Scientific research: for articles presenting partial or final results of an investigation. Articles that account of the progress or results of the completion of postgraduate thesis are included in this section. To be published in this section, the positive evaluation of two (2) external evaluators is necessary.

 

 

Books reviews, conferences, interviews and comments regarding scientific-academic activities: this section will include book reviews, conference transcripts, interviews, and other types of work that make critical comments about institutional activities, either scientific or academic, which are held in the Faculty of Economic and Legal Sciences (UNLPam) or in other institutions, such as an evaluative synthesis of conferences, scientific courses, promotional workshops, etc. In the case of critical comments, it is essential that the article is not merely descriptive but that it includes an assessment by the author. These works must be approved by at least two of the members of the Editorial Committee for its inclusion in the journal.
