Editorial

Abstract

During the year 2007 the need began to gestate for that the Museum of Anthropology should once again have a periodic publication showing local production and a at the same time invite dialogue with colleagues from other institutions national and international. For this reason, several of the investigators began to have meetings with the purpose of of this longing. While this was happening in Cordoba one of those who was spearheading this idea of having a new body responsible for disseminating research results attended a round table of editors and editors carried out during the National Congress
of Archaeology carried out in San Salvador de Jujuy. There it was possible to have a close contact with the reality of the magazines that were working at the time, which were very dissimilar although some were very clear where they were headed: open access, indexing in international systems and to the maintenance of some basic criteria that would allow the recovery of the articles in modern systems (comply with clear guidelines of periodicity, ethics in the editorial process, city of editorial quality, among others). In other words, a model that sought excellence in both form and function content. With this in mind we started looking for ways to finance this adventure while also seeking to advice from CAICyT staff for the purposes of start with everything you need to be able to take the new magazine at the level of those who were our referents.
