The scientific journal InpAkta: Inpaktu Sozialerako Ikerlanen Akta – Journal of Research for Social Impact has launched a call for papers for its first issue.
Manuscripts in all areas of knowledge may be presented during 2024, provided that the research has a social impact. In other words, it has a certain contribution to society, culture, the environment, the economy or the potential to respond to the challenges of our territory.
Submissions may be in English or Basque. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field (peer review). The journal’s editorial board, which comprises more than 50 professionals from various disciplines, will oversee this process.
InpAkta will publish two issues annually, starting in 2025. Once papers are accepted, they will be available online, thus enabling the community to access them without having to wait until the full issue is released.
InpAkta is a non-profit editorial venture supported by the main academic and scientific institutions of the Euroregion of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Euskadi and Navarre. Consequently, the journal will provide open access to all its contents. Authors will retain copyright and grant the journal the right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons License.
Guidelines for authors are available here. InpAkta does not have either article submission charges or article processing charges (APCs).
Issue #0, already available
The Journal has already published Issue Number Zero, which was presented in December 2023. This issue contains 20 articles, 17 of which are in English and 3 in Basque. It demonstrates the type of research work that the magazine aims to collect.
In addition to scientific articles, a disseminative article of each paper has been prepared in collaboration with the Elhuyar Foundation. These articles are intended for a broader audience, including those outside the academic field.
