Latin American Journal of Applied Research

About the Journal

The Latin American Journal of Applied Research (LJAR) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted to advancing applied research with practical relevance for organizations, institutions, and societies in Latin America and emerging regions.

LJAR welcomes high-quality empirical studies—quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, experimental, and applied analytical approaches—focused on topics such as:

• Business and management challenges in dynamic and resource-constrained environments

• Innovation, entrepreneurship, and organizational development

• Technology implementation, digital transformation, and engineering management

• Educational improvement and learning processes with implications for skills, institutions, and workforce development

• Operations, strategy, and decision-making in private, public, or hybrid organizations

The journal encourages work that bridges theory and practice, addresses regional realities, and provides insights applicable to practitioners, policymakers, and academic institutions.

LJAR accepts manuscripts in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. All submissions undergo double-blind peer review and must demonstrate methodological rigor, clarity of contribution, and relevance for applied research communities.
