For a researcher, the production of articles is the main goal of his or her work in Higher Education Institutions because it shows the quality of the work to be presented to the community in general and the service provided to society through knowledge transfer. The evaluation of each one of the articles proposals presented through indexed journals is carried out by external peers with rigorous parameters of methodological requirements, where fundamental aspects like the congruence between the hypothesis, the objectives of the study, the results and the discussion of them are taken into account.

The journal is aimed at students, teachers and researchers and it is open to the participation of authors from outside the publishing institution.
