Raíces Journal is a virtual publication of the Department of Social and Political Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, UNAN - Managua. It reflects the mission and vision of UNAN - Managua. Raíces was founded in the Department of Anthropology in 2016, and in 2023 it became a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary project run by the Department of Social and Political Sciences of UNAN - Managua.
The Journal is the result of the experience of a group of teachers, researchers, students and many collaborators who accompany us, inside and outside the University, with the purpose of promoting critical research, committed to the most vulnerable sectors of society.
Raíces is a virtual journal that publishes two issues a year and is characterized by being an open window to reflection from the South, animated by the values of equity and social justice.
We hope that this space becomes increasingly plural, convinced of contributing to sustainable human development from the sociocultural realities and experiences of its protagonists: men, women, youth, children of the peoples of our America.
The journal Raíces receives original and unpublished works on anthropological, historical, geographical, sociological, political science and international relations topics.
Authors who send their texts for publication will receive notification from the editors. Then, the articles received will be submitted to the editorial committee, which will express its acceptance as long as the characteristics of the text are in accordance with the values of the journal Raíces, its objectives and guidelines.
If the texts are relevant, they will be subjected to an evaluation process. The peer evaluators will use the evaluation formats provided by the editors. Once the authors have received feedback from the peer reviewers, they will make the requested improvements and send the final version of their text.
The editors will inform the authors about the publication in due time.
The journal Raíces publishes two issues per year.
This journal provides immediate open access to its content, based on the principle that offering the public free access to research helps a greater global exchange of knowledge.
