About the Journal

The research journal Apuntes Universitarios (AU) is an official publication of the Universidad Peruana Unión (UPeU).

It is an academic publication that is peer-reviewed, published every three months, intended for worldwide distribution, indexed in EBSCO Education Source, REDALYC, PROQUEST, Latindex Catalog, DIALNET, ESCI WoS under Sherpa / Romeo color green criteria.

AU is distributed in print and in an electronic version, with free full text access.

AU publishes research articles and contributions to the discussion of educational problems and the humanities, giving priority to contributions related to Peru and Latin America, although articles that address experiences from other countries that are illustrative and contribute to the current debate regarding education and humanities issues are also accepted. Part of each issue is dedicated to articles on specific topics – specifically requested by the journal – while the rest offers an open space for recent research on other educational issues.

 The aforementioned journal is directed to researchers and professors in higher education.

Editorial process: The articles must be original and unpublished, and should not be submitted simultaneously for publication in other journals. All submitted papers will be analyzed, according to scientific criteria, by external evaluators, through a confidential and anonymous (double blind) peer review system. In case of disagreement between the two reviewers’ reports, the editors of the journal will ask for a third evaluation. The editorial board of the journal will have the final decision in light of the evaluators' reports.

The journal will acknowledge receipt of the article submitted for publication. Likewise, the response on the evaluation and publication of the article will occur within two months from the day the article was received.

Evaluation times. An average time of eight weeks should be expected for the request for reviewers, their acceptance and delivery of their report. However, this period may be shorter or longer, depending on the availability of reviewers and other factors that may delay or speed up the process. The journal will only send the authors an official response about their article once it has a decision on the complete acceptance, conditional acceptance (with slight changes) or rejection (with modifications that imply a substantial rethinking of the proposal or when the article is outside the journal’s area of interest).
