Maguaré is a biannual academic journal aimed at a Latin American and global readership. Our purpose is to promote open thematic, theoretical, and methodological dialogues in Anthropology and between Anthropology and related disciplines. Therefore, we publish original research articles in anthropology and other disciplines that touch upon ethnographic and anthropological perspectives.

Anonymous peer evaluation

The articles submitted to Maguaré undergo a rigorous selection process. First, the editorial committee decides which articles should be evaluated by external peers. Then the article is reviewed by two anonymous peers who do not have access to the author's identity (double-blind review). The final decision, however, is taken by the editorial board. Once the final decision is made, we send the approval letter to the author(s) and publish the article.

Open Access policy

Maguaré is an open-access journal that provides free and immediate access to its contents and thus promotes the global exchange of knowledge. In other words, our journal allows free reading, downloading, and distribution of our published content if the author's credit is acknowledged.

Editorial ethics

Maguaré has the following ethical editorial policies: The editorial board will reject any submission coming from research with lucrative purposes, as well as any article involving the life, integrity, and human rights-threatening methods for the subjects of research. The documents submitted to Maguaré must adhere to veracity criteria, such as research-based and field-based data and conclusions. Articles submitted should not be previously published partially or entirely and cannot be simultaneously reviewed or edited by another scientific journal. The authors must express formally their compromise to adhere to these editorial criteria, and they should declare if the article has any institutional funding and/or any kind of conflict of interest.

The journal will not accept any unoriginal or not research-based material. Any plagiarism evidence either total or partial will be an immediate rejection cause. Maguaré uses TURNITIN as a mean to detect plagiarism. The selection process is equal for all authors, transparent and anonymous. The decision to publish an article is based entirely on its quality and originality, as well as the relevance of the submission. Our blind-peer review system guarantees confidentiality during the evaluation process.

The authors are responsible for revising their submissions by the peers and editorial board´s suggestions. The authors have the obligation of replying to the editorial team communications in a reasonable time period, in order to not disrupt the editorial process. Maguaré is committed to attending to any author or peer requirement and vows to offer unbiased and anonymous mechanisms to solve any controversy derived from the peer-review process. The journal will also publish any correction, clarification, revision, and public retraction regarding any contravention of our ethical criteria as well as from the editing and publishing process.
