Abstract

Scientific publications seek to disseminate research results to academic communities to contribute to scientific development, in addition to being the most used communication medium by scholars to publicize their work. Because the scientific community is immersed in a constant process of exchange of information and criticism, journals become a reflection of the general functioning of disciplines, researchers and institutions. For this reason, it is of vital importance that the scientific activity that is generated within the universities, centers and research groups looks for ways of communicating knowledge under rigorous quality parameters. However, our country has joined a prevailing global trend of editorial competitiveness that places many journals in a plane of inequality, forcing them to compete in a publishing market where researchers do not attend so much to the development of knowledge and research but rather to They should concentrate on discussions adjusted to bibliometric indicators related to the number of citations and little less on the effects of scientific dissemination. These policies, trapped by the knowledge market, focus on a vision of productivity that affects all fields of knowledge. Thus, this edition shows both investigative articles and theoretical reviews around topics of interest and current affairs for the psychology of researchers at the international (Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Mexico) and national levels, from the organizational field , educational and legal, among others.
