Ciencia y Sociedad
Ciencia y Sociedad is a quarterly journal (January-March, April-June, July-September and October-December) that meets the international criteria of ethics, quality, positioning, periodicity and availability of open access online (Open Access). It is a scientific publication edited and sponsored since 1975 by the Technological Institute of Santo Domingo (INTEC) which in June 2016 migrated all its files and became an online journal.
Ciencia y Sociedad aims to disseminate research in Social Sciences and Humanities to promote debates on social and cultural problems based on the diversity of approaches and synergies between scientific disciplines. It is a medium with a multi and interdisciplinary vocation that collects the scientific production of the Dominican Republic, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as scientific results that are generated on these regions in other global academic spaces.
The accepted texts will be submitted to the judgment of several people or experts who act as external reviewers. This process is done double blind. Once reviewed, articles can be returned to the author with one of the following tags: a) publishable without modifications; b) publishable with modifications from the reviewers; c) rejected or not publishable. The author will have 12 working days to incorporate the aforementioned modifications and for this purpose they will receive a change verification and modification form that must be completed.
The general editor will make a preliminary assessment of the originals received to determine if it is appropriate to submit the text to the peer review process. The articles or collaborations that present deficiencies in the preliminary stage (title, abstract, references, problems of structure, foundation, or do not adapt to the editorial or thematic line of the journal) will not pass to evaluation.
Each article or contribution can be reviewed by two or three expert reviewers (never less), and at least two of them must be external to the institution that publishes the journal.
