About the Journal
Every scientific publication arises, in a sense, from a need: to preserve, organize, and share the knowledge produced by those who dedicate their work to understanding reality. In the field of administrative sciences, this need takes on particular importance, as economic, business, and social changes demand spaces capable of bringing together rigorous research and transforming it into knowledge accessible to the academic community. It is within this context that the Journal of Administrative Sciences Research, affiliated with the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, finds itself, dedicated to disseminating specialized knowledge in the field of administration.
The journal is conceived as an academic space for publishing original works resulting from rigorous research, as well as book reviews related to emerging topics in administrative sciences. Its readership comprises researchers, professors, managers, and specialists working in various types of organizations. This broad scope reveals that the journal is not limited to a single aspect of administration, but rather encompasses concerns related to competitiveness, finance, investment, strategic planning, development, management, control and evaluation, as well as human resources, marketing, international business, tax studies, gender, and corporate sustainability.
The journal's history shows that it was founded in 2011 under the coordination of Dr. Deyanira Bernal Domínguez. At that time, the journal's management spearheaded the project "Editorial Management and Distribution of the Journal of Administrative Sciences Research," registered with the General Directorate of Social Service and the Faculty of Accounting and Administration of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa. The project envisioned the appointment of Dr. Gregorio Guzmán Lares as the journal's director in November 2024.
This moment is significant because it reveals that the journal was not conceived merely as a finished product, but as an editorial project requiring organization, collaboration, and systematic work. The consolidation of a scientific journal depends not only on publishing texts. It requires establishing criteria that inspire confidence in readers and authors. This journal documents an editorial process based on an initial review of submissions and, when they meet the required characteristics, their subsequent submission for blind peer review. The reviews may lead to acceptance, minor or major revisions, or rejection of the manuscript. This procedure represents an explicit pursuit of academic rigor and impartiality in the evaluation of research.
Viewed from this perspective, the journal's history is also the history of an institutional intention: to create and maintain a space for administrative research to transcend the classroom, the individual project, or the local sphere and find readers within a broader academic community. The archives up to 2024 reveal a journal that seeks to streamline its processes, strengthen academic review, and build mechanisms for the reception, evaluation, correction, and eventual publication of scientific works.
Thus, this journal can be understood as an expression of the university's effort to make research a collective asset. Its documented history reveals a publication that integrates research, editing, university training, and knowledge dissemination, with management as its central focus. More than a collection of articles, the journal represents the gradual construction of a scientific record: one that documents the questions, methods, results, and reflections of those who study organizations and their transformations. Much of its historical and academic value lies in this endeavor: preserving the administrative knowledge of an era so that it can be read, discussed, and used by future generations who will continue this history.
