About the Journal
Persona is the journal of the Faculty of Psychology of the Universidad de Lima. Its objective is to publish contributions that constitute a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding of theoretical and applied problems of psychological science, as well as psychosocial phenomena.
Persona does not adhere to or represent any particular psychological theory, but accepts for evaluation those manuscripts that are characterized by the relevance of the topic, the exhaustive theoretical review, the systematic questioning of assumptions and approaches of psychology and, in the case of empirical studies, by methodological rigor and critical discussion of results.
All manuscripts submitted to Persona must be unpublished and sent through the journal portal of the University of Lima. Once received, they will be submitted to a review process under the blind peer review system, usual in academic publications.
