Objectives and Scope

The journal entitled Revista Panamericana de Comunicación was founded, as its name indicates, with a clear aim towards Pan-American universality, that is, as an instrument for the mobilization, study and impact of communication research in the geographical areas of North America, Latin America and Europe.

Revista Panamericana de Comunicación transcends the Pan-American borders, and acts as a bridge between the Americas and Europe that is supported by two strong supports, specifically Mexico and Spain. To date, the journal has principally addressed topics related to political communication, photography and ethics, television narratives, ethics and aesthetics, research methodologies and the presentation of results in communication, history of communication, the film industry and videogames.

Revista Panamericana de Comunicación is an international, open access, indexed, peer-reviewed, double-blind academic journal. The average approval time for an article is only four weeks and its webpage is bilingual (Spanish-English). It receives submissions in both languages, and does not charge for publishing. It is currently a semi-annual journal and will be edited continuously in the near future.

The editorial team of the Revista Panamericana de Comunicación is particularly concerned with the journal’s ethical aspects and academic integrity, and not just as an object of study, but also as a workshop for best practices.

Revista Panamericana de Comunicación is a laboratory that allows communication researchers to experiment with the possibilities of a fully online academic journal with an open scientific perspective.

Revista Panamericana de Comunicación, through its monographic issues, is expanding the frontiers of scientific communication since the topics it addresses constitute an attempt to solve new scientific problems and to propose new avenues for research topics.

Preservation of digital archives

CLOCKSS is an open code program developed by the Library of Stanford University that enables libraries to preserve selected web-based magazines. It regularly searches registered journals to compile and file newly published contents. Each file is continuously validated against records from other libraries, so any contents that may be damaged or lost can be restored using those records or the journal itself.

The journal is also stored and viewed in the institutional repository SCRIPTA, which is managed by the Library of Universidad Panamericana. SCRIPTA enables the preservation of the documents published by the journal as well as retrieval through the different repository networks worldwide. Additionally, as a preventive measure in the event of system failure or discontinuity of the publication, the institutional Library will preserve restricted copies of the documents to ensure their perpetuity over time.
