WHO ARE WE?
The Editorial Seal is a unit attached to the Vice-Rectory of Research, whose objective is the unification of criteria for the publication of the scientific and academic production of the University of Pamplona, therefore, it is understood that its construction aims to create standards and synergies as part of its identity. The Seal is the axis of solidity and coherence of the visual environment, strengthening the academic and research identity of the institution for the dissemination of texts that include the intellectual production of research professors, graduates and students, as well as independent authors.
The Editorial of our Alma Mater disseminates publications that may be research results, degree works, doctoral theses, field experiences, memoirs, stories, among others, which make interesting contributions to each area of knowledge. Manuscripts are selected, evaluated and approved by the Editorial Committee, for editing, design and publication by the Editorial Seal, in fact, in social networks and the institutional fan page have been shared various graphic pieces with the aim of promoting and encouraging the publication of books, as well as standardizing the process for all interested persons.

 

REVIEW/ HISTORY
The Editorial Seal is a unifying and regulatory institutional figure that functions as a harmonizing entity of the publications made by authors of the University of Pamplona, independent and / or in collaboration.
In June 2015 through agreement 034 the Superior Council of the University of Pamplona, created the Editorial Seal with the purpose of standardizing the organization, operation and regulation of the edition and publication of books, journals and other academic and scientific materials of the institution.
Likewise, in March 2016, through Resolution 233, the rector of the university regulated the process of editing and production of books and journals, and also issued other provisions for the implementation of processes concerning copyright. The Unipamplona Editorial Seal is intended to distinguish between what is generally thought of as a brand, such as a slogan, a logo and a color palette. Beyond this, it is the way in which the University of Pamplona presents its research and dissemination products to the academic community. A strong, coherent and recognizable brand is fundamental to be seen as a trustworthy institution.

In order to achieve its mission, the University of Pamplona integrates within its research functions, the systematic search and construction of knowledge, using different methods of inquiry that strengthen and dynamize the process.
