Editorial process (peer review)
Intersticios is the scientific journal of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of the Universidad Católica de Salta, Argentina. It was founded in 2020 and is published under the EUCASA imprint (Ediciones Universidad Católica de Salta).
Intersticios is an annual journal whose name plays with meanings between its definition—“the space that exists between two places or between two moments” (RAE)—and the possibility of inhabiting those spaces, fostering dialogue between everyday life and academic knowledge. Its main objective is to give visibility to topics in the social sciences and humanities and to provide a space for reflection on processes and representations that emerge in these interstices or fissures, which may reflect situations, events, and realities that escape a strictly academic perspective.
Intersticios also addresses issues related to teaching, professional practice, ethics and values, and the interrelations between the social sciences and politics, culture, economy, society, and the environment.
The journal includes the following sections:
• Editorial.
• Scientific articles.
• Reflections on professional practice.
• Debate.
• Intersticios in action.
• Thesis or final integration work (undergraduate or postgraduate).
• Book reviews.

As a result of one or more rounds of evaluation, submissions may receive the following decisions: accepted for publication, accepted with revisions, or rejected.
The journal does not charge any fees for access to the full text of its issues and articles, nor for manuscript submission, evaluation, processing of accepted articles, or publication.
