INTERVIEWS

We receive work that emphasizes on remarkable characters, researchers and academic writers theories.

The interviews should take over significant topics with social relevance to our study field. Also, these articles should stimulate debate and academic discussion.

Interviews can include two or more personalities proposing series of questions and answers following an argumentative continuousness. The questions must be structured clearly in the introduction, body and conclusion. Interviews need to be unique and should include a brief informative file that describes both, the meeting and the interviewee (including biographical data).

Another recommendation is to record all the interview, the purpose of this is to help the interviewer solve any further doubts.
