Journal Sections

The free research article section is open to manuscripts addressing any topic within the journal's focus and scope. This call remains open year-round, unless temporarily closed.

Policy Against Editorial Inbreeding

The Journal Estado, Gobierno y Gestión Pública adheres to the recommendation of limiting the participation of works from and reviewers within the same institution that publishes the journal to a maximum of 20%. This principle allows the journal to remain open to external authors, promoting diversity and plurality in the selection of content. The journal will strive to keep this percentage as low as possible, ensuring a broad representation of perspectives and approaches.
