Author Guidelines

The aim of UZTARO is to publish articles on human and social sciences. Works will be mainly in the fields of anthropology, economics, law, psychology, pedagogy, philosophy, journalism, sociology, sociolinguistics, linguistics, glotodidactics, literature, translation, classical studies, art, music, history and geography. In UZTARO magazine, priority will be given to works created around courses, seminars or conferences organized by the UEU, although works sent from abroad will also be accepted for publication. They will always be new works, not published elsewhere.

The Editorial Board will decide what will be published in each issue, after hearing the opinion of the UEU Area Advisor for each work and the opinion of external article evaluators; at least two evaluators will make an Evaluation Report for each article, at least one of them being external to the Editorial Board.

UEU uses and promotes inclusive and non-sexist language in its publications. Avoid formulations that express prejudice or discrimination towards certain people or social groups, such as those related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, origin, religion or beliefs. Likewise, a language, both oral and written, will be used that does not discriminate against, disparage or offend women and that rejects discriminatory expressions based on the characteristics, capacities and roles that society assigns to women and men according to sex/gender.

Given the complexity and social impact of scientific dissemination in the areas of knowledge of interest of our publications, special attention should be paid to avoiding the use of expressions and labels related to stereotypes.

The papers that are intended to be published will be presented through the journal management system of the Open Journal System at the address
