About the Journal

Ámbitos. Revista Internacional de Comunicación (ISSN: 1139-1979/e-ISSN: 1988-5733) is an open access scientific journal created in 1998, co-edited by the Research Groups Estructura, Historia y Contenidos de la Comunicación (Grehcco) and Comunicación, poder y pensamiento crítico ante el cambio global (ComPoder). It is also part of the group of journals supervised by the Editorial of the University of Seville.

It is a journal of the highest scientific and technical quality, whose aim is to promote research into the different forms and functions of social communication and whose objective is to disseminate the results of the research published and to become a reference point for debate in the field of journalism and communication.

Ámbitos. Revista Internacional de Comunicación offers a space of diffusion for researchers in the international context, especially in Latin America. 

The thematic focus of the journal is communication and journalism, accepting works that revolve around this theme from the different perspectives that the Social Sciences and Humanities allow.

From 2025, the journal will publish two issues a year, in April and October. The current average number of articles published in each issue is between ten and twelve, which can be published in Spanish, English or Portuguese. The title, abstract and keywords will be presented in two languages. Texts in Spanish and Portuguese will add these elements in English and those written in English in Spanish.

Ámbitos. Revista Internacional de Comunicación has a long history. It was the first scientific publication in Andalusia, appearing in 1998 under the title Ámbitos. Revista Andaluza de Comunicación.  From issue 9-10 (2003) it changed its name and became Ámbitos. Revista Internacional de Comunicación.

In 2013, with the publication of issue 22, Ámbitos moved to digital format. Since then and to date, the number of issues has doubled, reaching number 40 in March 2018, just as the magazine celebrated its 20th anniversary.

With more than 700 articles and reviews published, Ámbitos. Revista Internacional de Comunicación is present in databases and repositories of international scientific quality.

All issues (including those published on paper) are in the repository of the University of Seville (IdUS) and in Dialnet.
