Palabra Clave - Movements in the Journals’ masthead

Dear committee members, authors, reviewers, researchers, readers and all those interested in Palabra Clave, we send you our warmest greetings.

We are pleased to inform you that our journal has a new editor-in-chief. As of today, Professor Óscar Londoño will assume this responsibility and will lead the editorial processes (active and future) and the strategic vision of the journal.

Professor Londoño assumes important challenges to strengthen the journal, among which are: institutional articulation, diversification of formats, greater digital reach, optimization in search engines, formation of the editorial, scientific and internal committee and consolidation of strategic alliances.

We are grateful for all the work and management carried out by Julian Penagos in these years as editor of the journal, for the scope and rigor.

To all authors who have an active process with the journal and have pending issues, we invite you to contact Professor Londoño to speed up any process that may be taking longer than usual. This can be done by contacting him from the discussion section, a space where we handle and centralize all the correspondence of the articles.
