Korpus 21 is a publication aimed at disseminating the results of original research on topics of history and social sciences, edited by El Colegio Mexiquense, AC. It favours those studies of an inter and transdisciplinary nature, but is open to those who adopt a unidimensional vision in history, sociology, economics, political science, geography, anthropology, linguistics, psychology, as well as related areas. Two conditions are necessary: a) empirical support, either factual and critical apparatus, in the case of history, or quantitative or qualitative data that support stylized facts that trigger and articulate theoretical reflection in other disciplines; and b) that allow for a better understanding of contemporary society, its functioning, problems and perspectives.

The journal publishes academic articles and essays after being submitted to two evaluations prepared by peers (double blind), as well as critical reviews. Each of them must respond to the intentions of each of the sections of the magazine: 1) Theme: central theme of the issue. In this section, editors may expressly request the collaboration of some authors, without this implying exemption from the full editorial process. 2) General: open to any topic included in the different areas covered by the magazine. 3) Readings, rereadings and infographics: reviews of recent books or those that lend themselves to new readings or interpretations. Infographics are also included that serve to order or reorder data that need systematized schemes and diagrams to facilitate a better understanding of a given social fact.

The journal is aimed at a broad audience, made up of researchers, professors, students, cultural promoters and those interested in the past and present of society. It is edited and published every four months by El Colegio Mexiquense, A.C. in printed format (color), 200 copies, and in digital (color) format. It is open access and is available on the website korpus21.cmq.edu.mx
