About the Journal
1. Approach and scope
The main interest of the Revista de Psicología Universidad de Antioquia is the publication of scientific research articles on or in relation to psychology and related disciplines, in their different approaches and fields. It is intended to broaden the disciplinary field from the various epistemological approaches that are part of psychology, in its basic and applied dimension. It publishes relevant topics and of social impact in the broad spectrum of its occupational fields (health, educational, organizational and labor, social-community, among others).
It is a biannual publication, edited since 2008, of open and plural character, with permanent invitation to the local, regional, national and international scientific community to participate with their contributions. Each year an open issue is published in the first semester and a special issue (monographic) in the second, with topics that contribute to current debates in the scientific community.
The magazine aims to be a world reference for consultation, debate and visibility of contemporary discussions of psychology from its diverse perspectives and in constant dialogue with other disciplines.
2. Double-blind peer review process
As it is a publication with arbitration, the Journal receives, reviews and sends the works to the opinion of the Editorial Committee, which selects articles that meet the required requirements and assigns peers under the double-blind evaluation methodology both internal and external to the publishing institution, on whose criteria its publication depends. Once the concept is received, it is sent to the author to take into account the observations of the evaluation, in cases of divergence between the concepts, a third evaluator may be assigned to conduct the evaluation.

3. Publishing fees
The articles are free to access on the internet. Under no circumstances will the journal charge publication or processing fees (APC: Article process charge).
4. Publishing periodicity
Two issues are published each year. Since 2020, in order to expedite visibility (consultation and citation), it was decided to upload the articles that culminate the editing process to the platform in a sequential manner.
