Universitas Scientiarum is an Open Access, multidisciplinary,
peer-reviewed Journal. Our goal is to publish articles, reviews, and
method articles that contribute original theoretical and practical
knowledge to promote the understanding necessary to resolve
environmental and health problems within the Latin-American context
and to generate interdisciplinary applications.
To expand current knowledge and resolve present day, human related
issues in the Tropics, we accept articles within the exact and natural
sciences, in subject categories such as, mathematics, biological
sciences, physics, chemistry, ecology, agriculture, environmental
science, biochemistry & molecular biology, microbiology, immunology,
genetics & heredity, health science, nutrition & dietetics, and
computer science. This focus using these subjects is seldom stressed
in other multidisciplinary journals in Latin-America.
