Revista Pares is a project promoted and edited by Red Académica Pares (RAP) formed by members from several countries of the American continent, based in Argentina. Born in January 2021 with the purpose of opening an independent, interdisciplinary and international space for scientific publication of research results and debates in social sciences. Its name “PARES” is intended to convey, along with the requirements of scientific rigour and academic excellence, the principles of equality and solidarity between researchers/ers. The team that makes up the magazine expresses these same principles in its work. Our vision for the future is to become a decisive stage in the discussion of political and social issues in our countries. To this end, one of its main goals is the global dissemination of the magazine, particularly in the Americas.
Revista Pares permanently receives works for all its sections: articles, research advances, book reviews, debates, interviews and translations. The papers must be sent to informes-recepcion@revistapares.com.ar indicating in the subject “Peer Review Call” and respecting the editorial rules indicated below.
Scope and editorial policy
Revista Pares publishes original and unpublished academic productions in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Texts can be of the following genres: articles, research advances, book reviews, debates, interviews and translations. They must conform to the disciplines of the social sciences (political science, law, philosophy, history, international relations, sociology and related subjects). The Editorial Committee will decide on the relevance of each contribution received according to the adequacy of the work with the requirements below.
All papers submitted must undergo a double-blind evaluation process (see evaluation sheet). Consignments shall comply with the following requirements:
1- To be unpublished works which, moreover, are not simultaneously in the process of being evaluated for publication.
2- Contribute to the area of Social Sciences (Political Science, Law, Philosophy, History, International Relations, Sociology and others related) highlighting the way in which the themes addressed contribute to current lines of debate of the disciplines.
3- Demonstrate the application of a clear and rigorous methodology, as well as a consistent analysis of data, if any.
4- Submit original results.
5- Have a conceptual development and a relevant and up-to-date bibliography on their subject.
In the first place, the Editorial Committee will be responsible for verifying that the papers received are linked to the guidelines proposed by the magazine, so it will have the power to reject those who did not. In turn, the work should respect internal coherence and conform to current editorial standards. Those works that violate the editorial rules will be rejected outright and the decision of the committee will be final. The same shall apply in case of detection of partial or total plagiarism or self-flagging.
Second, those works that pass the first revision by the Editorial Committee will be sent to external referee, respecting the double blind. This means that the evaluation period is subject to the timing and availability of the evaluators/s. Revista Pares will promote, in this sense, a responsible practice in the management of evaluation times so that these do not extend beyond what is reasonable.

Scientific content

Exogeneity of publications
