The next chart shows the geographic origin of the authors in our journal. The journal is regulated by an editorial policy that considerates quotas for publishing authors from developing countries. Of the 184 publications accepted up to the date, the international division is as follows:

AUTHORS PUBLICATIONS

National from our own institution 7,0%
International from developed countries 3,8%

 Chart 6: Origin of the authors that publish on AJA

 

The journal, Actualidad Jurídica Ambiental, expects to reach a larger international dimension, as it can be seen in the lower national prominence of the last years.
