About the Journal

Approach and scope

Millcayac - Digital Magazine of Social Sciences is a space of scientific promotion and dissemination of the classic and current discussions on the social sciences area. It is a refereed six-monthly scientific publication, in online digital format and with a frequency of two issues per year (published on March 1st and on September 1st). Millcayac proposes a space for critical dialogue driven by the following objectives: to contribute in the creation of a scientific culture, to socialize the results of studies that lead to the advancement of knowledge within these axes; to provide tools for the transformation of socio-cultural realities in their academic, scientific and political  instances; and, finally, to promote the scientific research development of national and international authors in order to contribute to the debate in social sciences about relevant and priority issues to our Latin American societies.

This online publication constitutes the first space for debate and dissemination of the four thematic axes that are becoming consolidated in the scientific academic areas of this house of studies: State and Social Movements in Our America; Gender and Human Rights; Common goods and Society; Communication, Art and Culture. Each one of these concepts enable different thematic organizations and particular scientific enunciation modalities. Scientific articles, essays, book reviews, research progress, interviews and experience narratives traverse the pages of Millcayac. Furthermore, each issue of the magazine proposes a specific dossier regarding the main topics of the social Sciences today.

Original and unpublished articles of scientific research are published in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Italian; all papers are published in two languages (Spanish and English); this includes title, abstract and keywords. In addition, all works must comply with the Editorial Standards established by the  Secretariat of Scientific Research and Publication.

The administrative and scientific organization is in charge of the Internal Editorial Team, responsible for the management, administration and edition of the magazine; a stable external Scientific Editorial Committee, integrated by experts with a well-known scientific trajectory both at national and international level in charge of the scientific evaluation of the works under a process of double-blind review system; Editorial Advisory Board, whose function is to define the editorial policies and control the quality criteria of the magazine; and an ad hoc evaluator group, external to the institution, summoned every year according to the subjects incorporated in each issue. The work carried out for the magazine is funded by the FCPyS.

 

Peer review process

The works, whether they are scientific articles,  research advances, essays, book reviews, interviews or narratives of experiences that, according to the Editorial Advisory Board, respond to the publication themes and meet the established formal requirements, will be sent to two members of the Evaluation Committee (external evaluators) who will give their review ignoring the identity of the author.

The reception of a manuscript does not imply an obligation for its acceptance, nor any commitment regarding the publication. All work received will be initially reviewed  by the Editorial Committee, which must verify the compliance with the editorial guidelines, as well as the suitability, originality and quality within a period of two weeks. If the manuscript does not comply with the criteria, it will be returned to the author in order to make the necessary changes to its possible publication.

Manuscripts that meet all of the guidelines exposed in the instructions for the authors will be sent to anonymous national and international  peer evaluators (external to the publishing institution) selected taking into account the solidity of their professional-academic background and their knowledge in the  referred subjects, who will carry out the double-blind peer evaluation process.

The review process consists of completing an evaluation grid where three possibilities are admitted: 1) Approved as it is, 2) Approved with modifications, and 3) Not approved. Furthermore, issuing opinions about the manuscript and the request of recommendations or clarifications are allowed.

If both evaluators express a positive opinion (approved or approved with modifications), the work will be included in the publication plan. If there is at least one review with request for modifications, the original is sent back to the author in order to make the necessary corrections within a period of four weeks. The Editorial Committee is in charge of thoroughly revising that the suggestions made by the Review Committee have been included.

If they express divergent opinions (approved/approved with modifications and not approved), a third member of the Review Committee will be consulted to arbitrate and make the corresponding editorial decision.

All the possible results are presented below, following the combination of the peer verdicts:

The usual established deadline for the reviewers to carry out their work is four weeks. In cases of controversy where the article must be submitted to a third referee, the evaluation process extends four more weeks. The estimated time of the evaluation process is not less than four weeks and no more than sixteen weeks.

The publication process of the articles is subject to the March and September editions. In case of being approved with modifications, the deadline for sending the relevant corrections once notified to its respective author/authors is two weeks.

The time of publication of the articles, after the revision process is completed, is not less than six weeks and not more than twenty four weeks.

Magazine history

Millcayac - Digital Magazine of Social Sciences gathers scientific texts related to the four research areas that are developing in the Social and Political Sciences Faculty: State and Social Movements in Our America; Gender and Human Rights; Common goods and Society; Communication, Art and Culture.

Millcayac is one of the extinct languages of the Huarpe people, one of the communities that still inhabit our lands, despite the historical conditions of persecution, extermination and dispossession that they have experienced, as well as current policies of segregation and discrimination.

The name is taken by this publication in charge of the Publications Centre of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences as a tribute to the preceding culture that, while not having  the ability of writing, had and has a language of its own, a way of seeing, understanding and naming the world.

Millcayac Magazine recognizes Millcayac Year-nook as its predecessor, an annual  printed publication which contains scientific articles, research advances, essays, book reviews,  referred to the scientific-academic production generated in our house of studies. This publication  was edited from 2002 to 2011.

Millcayac - Digital Magazine was conceived within the framework of the Area of Scientific-Academic Coordination (ACCA,  from Spanish, Área de Coordinación Científico Académica), with institutional dependance corresponding to the Vice-Deanship of the 2011-2014 administration. This edition opens its doors to external educators and researchers as a way to encourage and promote the dissemination of productions based on the proposed axes that, to our understanding, rescue the critical perspective of the Latin American social sciences.

Since the 2014 edition, the magazine’s objective is to provide greater access for its readers  through the use of the OJS (Open Journal System) platform which gives access to the universe of open access magazines.

Since 2016, Millcayac - Social Sciences Digital Magazine has been granted access to the Latindex Catalogue. The catalogue only includes magazines which meet the criteria of  editorial quality designed by Latindex, and is a fundamental step towards the indexing of Millcayac.

The possibility of being part of a publications circle like Latindex is the result of the collective effort of the editorial team of the Social and Political Sciences Faculty’s Secretariat of Research and Scientific Publication through several years of intensive work in order to ensure the positioning of our magazine. All of this carried out in line with the guidelines established for the improvement of the editorial policies and of social sciences indexed publications, promoted in the XXIV Meeting of Deans of Social and Human Sciences from Universities all over the country.
