About the Journal

TransAmerica Review (TAR), ISSN: 2997-0350, is an interdisciplinary, biannual, and peer-reviewed digital scientific journal published entirely in full Open-Access.

By disseminating high-quality original research articles, the journal explores and discusses the organization of society, politics, and economics across the TransAmerica (in the continental sense) countries.

Therefore, the focus and scope of the journal hover over the applied social sciences and humanities.

Social Sciences

  • Anthropology (where it intersects with a humanities or social science focus)
  • Economics (with a strong emphasis on non-econometric or mixed-methods and critical approaches).
  • Political Geography (where it intersects with a humanities or social science focus)
  • Politics (international relations, comparative politics)
  • Regional & Area Studies
  • Sociology (comparative, political, cultural, economic, social conflict)
  • Business and Management (with a strong emphasis on local realities of the different American regions).

Humanities

  • History (social, political, cultural, conceptual)
  • Media Studies (where it intersects with a strong humanities or social science focus)
  • Political Philosophy
  • Society & Culture

We interpret TransAmerica as encompassing the entirety of the American continent, covering its geographical divisions (North, Central, South, and the Caribbean).

Hence, we encourage submissions addressing pertinent issues spanning these regions, fostering an academic exchange across the entire American continent, as well as researchers addressing these topics from other global locations. In a few words, we can say that TransAmerica Review is projected as a North-South American epistemological bridge.
