Abstract

Dear readers, collaborating authors, expert reviewers, and advisory board members, we are pleased to welcome you to Volume 23, Issue 2, 2024 of the Revista de Comunicación. It is with great pride that we announce our placement in the Q1 quartile, of the SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJR), which assesses the quality and impact of academic journals.

The 2023 SJR ranking considers 481 journals in the field of Communication worldwide, and only 25% (121) are positioned in the Q1 quartile. The Revista de Comunicación, of the Universidad de Piura, is the first to achieve this level in the mentioned category in Peru and Latin America.

This international recognition establishes us as a distinguished academic journal characterized by rigorous evaluation criteria and a commitment to publishing novel, relevant, and timely articles. However, this tribute also presents a challenge; we must continually strive to enhance our efforts in disseminating innovative research that accurately reflects the advancements in communication as a dynamic and ever-evolving discipline. Furthermore, our goal is to ensure that this research contributes meaningfully to the betterment of society.
