The Research in Administrative Sciences (ICA) Journal was founded in 2011. It is peer-reviewed and published biannually on March 30 and September 30 of each year. It is open access online and is aimed at researchers, academics, and scholars who contribute to the development of the broad and diverse field of social issues.
The journal ICA addresses topics related to the social sciences in general and their specific areas (political theory, sociological theory, political communication, political economy, public opinion, public management and policy, fiscal studies, and international relations, among others). As a platform for scientific production in the social sciences, it is committed to theoretical, methodological, and epistemological pluralism. Therefore, it adheres to the methodology recommended by indexing systems such as Redalyc (https://www.redalyc.org/) to continuously improve and become a journal of high scientific and editorial quality in the region, highlighting its essential qualities as a multiplier of the generation and communication of new, articulated, and integrated disciplinary knowledge, in accordance with the current epistemological, scientific-technological, and communicational (re)evolution.
