Sapienza: a new publishing cycle
Vol. 3 No. 9 (2022)Since its inception, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2020, Sapienza: International Journal of Interdisciplinary (SIJIS) was born with the aim of being that international channel dedicated to disseminating scientific ideas without exclusions, with pluralism and in favor of more open and democratic science.
Throughout these years of activity, we have reached authors and readers from different countries of the world, from the most varied disciplines of knowledge, and always promoting open access to our content. We have had the support of hundreds of reviewers, dozens of collaborators of our editorial committee and a whole technical team that has supported us. We are sincerely grateful for all the achievements made during this period, with a community that continues to grow steadily.
As well as celebrating the victories, we have also reflected a lot on our main editorial challenges and weaknesses in the sense of scientific/editorial practice. We believe in collective learning, in the critical spirit, and in the possibility of building a more open and democratic science without losing rigor and quality standards. The expressive increase in the number of manuscripts we have received in the last 9 months of activity has shown us that our reputation as a means of scientific dissemination has grown, while at the same time it made us deliver beyond what we expected to serve the community that supports and prefers SIJIS.
However, we consider that the first cycle has been closed. We are in the process of restructuring our editorial activity as a journal, and new quality standards will be implemented starting in 2023. Among many other things, we intend to reduce the number of accepted manuscripts and increase the rigor of desk reviews to avoid overloading our peer reviewers and associate editors. At the same time, new publication formats will be adopted, following the international trends we have been studying and with the training, we have received from some international institutions. Thus, this issue 9 represents the closing of a cycle and the beginning of a transition that starts in 2023. In it, we bring together contributions from different epistemic and methodological points of view, respecting our principle of scientific plurality and interdisciplinary.
Thanks again to the entire community! And we leave our doors open to all of you, as always, and hope that next year we will continue to grow as a community.

Pluralism and open science
Vol. 1 No. 1 (2020)We live in a dynamic and interconnected world, which currently faces major transformations in its social, political and economic relations. Historically, science has been one of the main drivers for development and progress, being essential in solving many human problems of the most diverse natures. Today, our world faces a difficult situation due to a global health crisis, with limitations and closed geographical borders between nations, in addition to constant ideological disputes and their consequences in episodes of violence and intolerance.
This whole picture represents the difficult "new normal" that humanity must face. Therefore, in order to promote the pluralism of ideas and to promote access to knowledge without social exclusion, Sapienza: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies is inaugurated. In this first edition, we opened a space for critical scientific dissemination for researchers from all over the world, hoping to be able to publish original ideas that contribute to humanity's stock of knowledge.
