According to international standards, the Journal has an existence certified by the International Standard Serial Number or ISSN either in version on line (ISSN: 2072-9308) and in print (ISSN: 2072-9294) and has a clear and public administrative and executive structure from a structured Editorial Board. Along its route, it has published relevant scientific contributions of notable national and international researchers.

Although the Journal growth is recognized, to date, it is the purpose of the Editorial Board, to achieve its greater diffusion that is, in a register or database of scientific papers recognized nationally and internationally. The Journal wants to achieve greater visibility and national and international diffusion, which will help controlling and bibliographic monitoring of scientific production on topics discussed.

The selection criteria used to achieve appropriate indexes go through the scientific quality, editorial board, content, standardization, language, regularity and frequency of publication. The databases of each index have objectives and own selection criteria. It does not include everything that is published, because it is not enough to have wide coverage and is not sufficient that a journal is well structured from the graphical point of view.  An indexed publication should be better than other journals of the area.  It should be more interesting, more original and most cited. This is the road to excellence that the magazine “Journal of the Selva Andina Research Society” is seeking to consolidate, based on of a valiant effort, commitment, quality and difference
