About the Journal

TransAmerica Review (TAR), ISSN: 2997-0350, is an interdisciplinary, biannual, and peer-reviewed digital scientific journal published in Diamond 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 solid humanities or social science emphasis)
  • Political Philosophy
  • Society & Culture

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

Hence, we encourage submissions addressing pertinent issues across these regions, fostering academic exchange across the continent and scholars addressing these topics from other global locations.

In a few words, TransAmerica Review is projected as a North-South American epistemological bridge.
