Focus and scope

Revista Universidad de Guayaquil (REVUG) is edited and published by the University of Guayaquil. It is a digital, open-access, and free publication committed to the dissemination of knowledge in the field of Social Sciences. With a biannual periodicity, publishing issues in January and July, and a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, our journal is dedicated to promoting academic excellence and innovation in scientific research.

Focus

The Revista Universidad de Guayaquil (REVUG) was initially conceived as a multidisciplinary publication aimed at disseminating research from various fields of knowledge. As part of its editorial strengthening process, and with the purpose of consolidating a more defined academic identity aligned with international indexing standards, the journal has redefined its editorial line to focus exclusively on the field of Social Sciences.

With this update, REVUG adopts an interdisciplinary approach within the Social Sciences, fostering integration and dialogue among different disciplines that address social issues from theoretical, methodological, and applied perspectives.

Scope

The journal receives and publishes original and unpublished articles that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the following areas:

  • Sociology: Studies on social structure, social change, sociological theory, and social research methodologies.
  • Anthropology: Ethnographic research, cultural studies, and comparative analysis of societies.
  • Political Science: Analysis of political systems, political theory, public policy, and international relations.
  • Economics: Applied economic studies, economic development, and analysis of economic policies.
  • Social Psychology: Research on behavior, attitudes, and group and individual processes in social contexts.
  • Education and Pedagogy: Studies on educational policies, pedagogy, and the social impact of education.
  • Communication: Media analysis, communication theory, and studies on the social impact of information technologies.
  • Legal Sciences: Studies on law, legislation, justice, human rights, and legal analysis in national and international contexts.
  • Business and Management: Research on business management, entrepreneurship, organizational strategies, and business models.
  • Marketing: Studies on consumer behavior, marketing strategies, branding, and trends in digital and traditional advertising.
  • Other areas within the Social Sciences: Social innovation and sustainable development, technology and digital transformation in social contexts, society, among others.

This new focus reaffirms the commitment of the Revista Universidad de Guayaquil to the production, dissemination, and discussion of scientific knowledge in the field of Social Sciences, strengthening its role as an academic space for critical reflection, innovation, and human and social development.
