Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus and scope The GEOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL OF CENTRAL AMERICA is a printed and online publication, directed by the School of Geographical Sciences (Faculty of Earth and Sea Sciences) of the Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica and periodically edited by the Editorial de la Universidad Nacional (EUNA) since 1974. The focus and scope is to disseminate research and geographical and related work carried out nationally and internationally, as well as promote discussion and the contribution of geographers to today's society. The publication is aimed at students and professionals interested in geographic studies, territorial planning, natural resource management, regional studies and the technologies associated with these fields. The journal publishes articles in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Peer review process The peer review process involves the following phases: Once the manuscript is received, it will be sent for evaluation by external peers to the journal, who use the article assessment instrument established by the Journal, which includes criteria of scientific rigor, originality, structure, coherence and quality of the text and final observations and recommendations. The ruling is carried out under the double-blind modality; that is, the evaluators will not know the name of the author or authors of the manuscript, the authors will know the names of the evaluators. The person who evaluates has a period of no more than 30 calendar days to evaluate and deliver the pertinent opinion to the Journal. Once the observations of the external evaluation have been received, they will be sent to the corresponding author so that they can be evaluated and incorporated according to consideration. If the person evaluating the document recommends corrections, the author(s) will be responsible for making them and delivering the final document in digital format within a period not exceeding 30 calendar days.
