Public:

The journal is aimed at students, researchers, professionals and people interested in research, scientific and academic topics of the different educational, productive, and business sectors that develop activities related to the administrative, economic, accounting and international business areas.

About the Name:

Armand Hatchuel (2000), professor at the Ecole de Mines de Paris and deputy director of the Center de Gestion Scientifique, proposes the creation of an "unprecedented axiomatic of collective action" based on a review of the role of the administration and the company in society to take them out of what he calls the "metaphysics of action" [1] and take it to a scientific project organized around collective action as an object of study in which the knowledge of individuals in relationships is inseparable social (principle of non-separability) that men weave in the development of their work and their production.

The sciences of management, for Hatchuel, were born without a central object or conceptual core (that is, without a coeur or core to use respectively the French and English meanings) and must seek to define one around which they can build a knowledge project. The company, in the pedagogical principles of the administration, was given as the object of reference, but it can not be constituted as such because the diversity of the phenomena that it contains (economic, accounting, legal, social, psychological, commercial) requires a greater precision as to what really matters to the administration. But it is not the company itself the object but the reflective and transforming action of the subjects immersed in the process of doing business, which must be focused as the object of management interest; collective business action that, although it is not the only form of collective action, is one of the most universal taking into account that humanity has almost entirely been ruled in capitalism and the concurrent market as a way of managing its subsistence and progress.

From this epistemological proposal, it is justifiable that the administrative and accounting disciplines have as object of study the business human action, therefore it is very pertinent that there is a publication with global pretension that discloses its production, which demands a title in English, which would facilitate the reception of articles in English and indexing in high-impact databases such as ISI and Scopus.

From the name of the journal seeks to integrate administrative sciences, economic, accounting and authors that publish in it taking into account the various areas of knowledge show their experiences, reflections, notes, developments. In order to improve knowledge management.

Science Of Human Action

[1] Hatchuel in his preliminary diagnosis, considers that traditionally the administration has been organized around supraideas or metaphysics of the action (the utilities, the strategy, the organizational culture, the leader, etc.) that seek to totalize and impose in a exogenous to the acting collectives, behaviors alien to their social dynamics.

Research and Innovation Article. Document that presents the original and unpublished production, published in a journal of scientific, technological or academic content, the result of research, reflection or revision processes, which has been subject to peer evaluation. In no case will be accepted as "research and innovation article" contributions such as publications not derived from research, summaries, communications to congresses, letters to the editor, book reviews, bibliographies, institutional bulletins, editorial notes, obituaries,

Editorial quality The technical team of IBN Publindex verifies that the journals integrate the editorial standards that characterize serial publications in the field of science and technology. This verification is carried out at three levels: i) Magazine, ii) Fascicle, iii) Article.

Bibliographic citation. Set of detailed data that allows the identification of a publication or a part of it, facilitates the revision of documents, whatever their format and their editorial characteristics. There are different citation rules according to the study area (APA, ISO, Vancouver among others) so that other researchers can identify and cite the article.

Stability. The stability of a scientific journal is associated with its age and strict compliance with the publication dates according to the declared periodicity.
