About the Journal

History

The Journal of the Scientific Society of Paraguay is a biannual publication (January-June, July December). The abbreviated title of the magazine is Rev. Soc. cient. Parag. Parag. It is reviewed academic journals, including essays and results of research publications oriented to science and its technological applications. The physical, chemical, and mathematical sciences are taken into account, as well as the natural and social sciences. The papers are peer reviewed.

Although it was founded in 1921, vicissitudes of history such as the Chaco War, the Second World War, as well as other endogenous factors, negatively influenced the periodicity of its publication.

In the '60s its appearance was regularized as the Second Era until the '80s. For the past 20 years, it was published regularly and without interruption with the indicative name of Fourth Era. As of 2010, it was identified with the designation of Volume (annual) along with two numbers (semi-annual).

 Scope and objectives

The Journal of the Scientific Society of Paraguay has as its mandate to disseminate the knowledge generated in the physical, chemical and mathematical sciences, natural, agronomic, medical, social and human sciences.

It aims to transmit original, relevant and quality knowledge produced by national and international researchers, aimed at researchers and the general public interested in the areas of publication, which is why our journal is multidisciplinary.

Manuscripts must be original from the authors, this means articles that have not been previously published in print or electronic format; however, if this is not confirmed, it can be considered as an indication of plagiarism and the manuscript will be rejected in the evaluation of the editor.

This statement is part of the ethical criteria with which the Scientific Society of Paraguay operates.
