Aims & Scope
AIMS & SCOPE
The journal ÁNFORA is a biannual scientific publication with a regional, national, and international scope, released in January-June/July-December. This open-access journal is assigned an L-ISSN: 0121-6538 and an e-ISSN: 2248-6941, and it receives support from the Universidad Autónoma de Manizales.
Ánfora aims to disseminate research results, reviews, and interdisciplinary reflections within the areas of human sciences as defined by the OECD. This dissemination serves to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, opinions, and diverse socio-cultural perspectives. The target audience for this publication includes researchers, teachers, students, and professionals in related disciplines. The journal actively encourages the submission of interdisciplinary research that interprets and addresses current issues from various perspectives within the established areas.
The peer review process at Ánfora is double-blind, ensuring a rigorous evaluation of manuscripts. All accepted manuscripts are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Manuscripts highly specialized in a specific area may not be selected for publication; this decision is made by the technical team of Ánfora with the support of the external scientific and editorial committee. Ánfora welcomes original manuscripts in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Since 2019, all manuscripts are translated into English, and original submissions in English accepted for publication are translated into Spanish. This initiative aims to enhance the dissemination of research on a global scale.
As an Open Access journal, Ánfora does not impose charges for publication, translation, or reading
