About the Journal
Autoctonía. Journal of Social Sciences and History, is edited by the Center for Historical Studies (CEH), under the Faculty of Human Sciences of the Academic vice-rectory, at the Bernardo O'Higgins University. It aims to foster specialized and innovative research in the fields of history and the social sciences, through research that renews and deepens the mutual dialogue about past and present social phenomena. We especially encourage interdisciplinary work and the contributions of other disciplines as applied to the study of social and historical reality. The journal embodies a pluralistic Latin American ethos in aiming towards a deeper integration of the peoples and nations of the continent.
Autoctonía aims to be an academic and scientific space for the reflection and dissemination of ideas and debates regarding the social, historical, political, cultural and economic conditions of Latin American societies.
Autoctonia only receives financial support from the publishing institution, Bernardo O'Higgins University. Publications do not require an article processing charge.

Peer review process
The authors will send their articles through the journal's platform. The articles received will be preliminarily evaluated by the editorial committee to determine if they meet the formal requirements and if they fit the theme of the journal. Once this procedure has been completed, two external referees will be sent anonymously to the Bernardo O'Higgins University (experts with a doctor's degree, preferably). The evaluations that they issue will also be sent to the authors anonymously (double-blind evaluation system). Articles approved -in first or second instance- by both referees will be published. In case of discrepancy between two evaluators, the evaluation of a third party will be requested. The Editorial Committee will make the final decision about the publication of the manuscript. The process will take between two and five months.
