Journal History

In November 2012, Ph D. Javier de la Fuente Hernández and Ph D. Adriana Martínez Martínez embarked on an editorial challenge: the launch of a scientific journal that captured the essence of ENES León: multidisciplinarity. Thus, Entreciencias: Diálogos en la Sociedad del Conocimiento was born, with a vision to become a reference in the scientific world, supporting the dissemination of articles contributing to the advancement of knowledge.

The first issue, initially published biannually on June 1, 2013, made us realize that this frequency wouldn't allow us the presence we sought. From the second issue, released on December 1 of the same year, we transitioned to a quarterly publication. Through editor training courses, we learned that a digital publication should not be managed as if it were printed. The advantage of digitization is the possibility of quick publication in an attractive format with greater coverage. Thus, on January 1, 2020, the journal adopted continuous publication.

Some actions supporting our editorial performance include: adopting DOI and Creative Commons license in 2016, transitioning to the Open Journal System in October 2017, joining the DORA initiative in November 2018, and using iThenticate software to detect plagiarism or redundancy in October 2019. We have also focused on promoting articles through our social media channels.

The inclusion of journals in indexes and databases is crucial for increased visibility. In February 2014, Entreciencias was accepted in Latindex Catalog; in 2016, in Redalyc, adopting the JATS XML markup system. The same year, we joined Revistas UNAM. In 2017, we joined DOAJ and REDIB, and in August of that year, we entered the CONACYT System of Classification of Mexican Journals in Science and Technology, in the Consolidation category. In July 2018, after a second evaluation, the journal was promoted to International Competence.

This advancement allowed us to participate in the call 'Concursable Fund for the National and International Positioning of Science and Technology Journals edited in Mexico' and secure funding for the project 'Actions to improve the visibility and international academic positioning of Entreciencias. In December 2018, we were added to Biblat, in 2020 to Mirabel, MIAR, Google Scholar, and SciELO Citation Index. In 2022, we were indexed in Dialnet and HAPI, and in 2024, we joined EBSCO..

Here are some significant milestones in the history of the journal:
