Impact

Last updated: 10/08/2025

The Impact principle reflects Pensar Journal’s commitment to transforming scientific knowledge into tangible results for the academic, legal, and social communities. Impact is not merely about increasing visibility metrics; it is about creating real effects through the dissemination of relevant, methodologically sound, and socially engaged research.

The journal seeks to achieve impact by means of:

  • Scientific and methodological excellence, fostering transparency, reproducibility, and alignment with international best practices;

  • Internationalization, expanding its global reach through multilingual publications, partnerships, and indexing in recognized databases;

  • Socio-legal relevance, prioritizing contemporary themes that engage with society, public institutions, and the justice system;

  • Diversity and inclusion, ensuring multiple authorial and peer perspectives, thus strengthening epistemic justice and academic innovation.

In this sense, impact is understood as a broad, responsible, and transformative dimension that connects open science, diversity, and academic rigor as core vectors of the journal’s mission.
