Focus and Scope

Chihuahua Hoy was conceived in 2001 as a yearbook. Its first volume was published in 2003, and since then one volume has appeared each year. The thematic scope has been very broad, and one of the journal’s key experiences has been the renewal and advancement of the research and knowledge offered to its readers in a multidisciplinary field. The texts included exceed the usual length of journals with a higher frequency of publication and correspond to the results of projects undertaken and developed over relatively extended periods. As a result, it remained a yearbook until 2015, during which time its importance as a source of multidisciplinary knowledge continued to grow. Since 2016, it has been a scientific journal, and in 2023 it adopted the “Ahead of print” model.

The journal aims to examine different aspects of a complex social reality that changes rapidly while, at the same time, preserves phenomena or distinctive features with greater permanence or consistency. It also seeks to provide a general overview of sources for understanding Chihuahua. Another objective is to serve all those who, because of their profession or curiosity, are interested in learning more about our state, including public officials, teaching staff, students, researchers, political leaders, and journalists. For all documents, we have demanded independence of judgment and scientific rigor.

Its objetive is to disseminate the results of original research in order to provide an overview of sources for learning about Chihuahua; in this journal is the product of an ambitious and well-established intellectual endeavor, with solid foundations and recognition from authors, reviewers, and readers located in Mexico and abroad.
