The articles published in T’inkazos must be original, unpublished and not committed for publication elsewhere. Articles must be the result of research carried out on Bolivia or other countries in the region. Priority will be given to work that combines empirical research and theoretical reflection in the following fields: Sociology, Politics, Anthropology, Law, Education, History, Psychology, Economics and other disciplines in the Social and Human Sciences.

Accepted articles that cannot be published in the print edition for reasons of space will be included in the online edition of T’inkazos (www.pieb.org, www.pieb.com.bo).

Articles will be assessed by the journal’s Publisher and Editorial Board. If the article complies with the editorial policies and objectives of T’inkazos it will be sent to two anonymous reviewers.

The journal’s Publisher and Editorial Board will decide which articles will be published in the print and online editions, which issue of the journal the article will appear in, and the section in which it will be included. In no case will contributions sent for publication be returned, and neither will any correspondence be entered into regarding the reasons for deciding not to publish them.
