About the Journal

Cuadernos Universitarios is a scientific publication of the Catholic University of Salta, Argentina, created in 2008 and published under the imprint EUCASA (Ediciones Universidad Católica de Salta).



Objectives and scope

Cuadernos Universitarios is an annual journal, focused on higher education issues, in our regional and national context, in dialogue with international contexts, aimed at a specialized audience in the mentioned subject, and that may be, also, of general interest.

Its approach is multidisciplinary, since it aims to approach the subject matter from different disciplinary fields and areas of interest.

Its main objective is to promote the dissemination of knowledge generated in academic circles as a product of their substantive functions of research, teaching, and extension, as well as to encourage the construction of bonds with other national and international institutions

It was originally created with a plural content —heterogeneous, multidisciplinary— and it hosted articles from different fields of science, since it was the only academic publication generated in this university (2008-2018).

The language of the journal is Spanish, although collaborations may be received in other languages. Each paper includes title, abstract and keywords both in Spanish and English.
