- Background: The project starts from the recognition of the significant growth that scientific journals have had in Latin America in the last two decades as a result of the development of information and communication technologies, the advancement of the movement for democratization open access to knowledge (Which has a particular expression in the Public Knowledge Project and its products such as the Open Journal System), the creation and expansion of storage services and bibliographic information in the global arena (Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, Ulrich , Etc.), regional (Latindex, SciELO, RedALyC, CLACSO), and national (Qualis, Publindex, Revencit, etc.), and the promulgation of policies and implementation of reforms in the sectors of education and science Technology in the Countries of the region. Likewise, they are usually emphasized as indexing in recognized systems and indicators as the impact factor. However, little is known about what happens between consumers (readers) and producers (researchers) of knowledge, particularly in the social sciences. Purpose: The scope and impact of the Latin American journals in the different disciplinary fields of the social sciences, in terms of access, use and publication, were investigated among researchers assigned to the national science and technology systems. Technology of the region, university professors in the area of social sciences and who have publications in social science journals. It was proposed to identify the most prestigious Latin American journals in social sciences, which was given by the recognition that researchers and academics of Latin America, and the factors that influence to choose a magazine to consult and publish. Method: To do this, a survey on the prestige of journals was applied to a sample of social science researchers in the region, researchers were identified in the systems of science and technology, institutions of higher education, social science journals Latin American and academic networks of the research team of this project. The survey is administered through the Internet and is related to: Journals that are read the most and published by academics and social researchers in Latin America; Journals that are published in the region; Factors for selection of publications such as prestige in the academic community, cost (subscription, open access), publication format (print, electronic), language, inclusion in bibliographic information systems and recognition policies to productivity; and bibliographic information systems that researchers use to access articles and journals in social sciences. The results of the survey were analyzed quantitatively. Findings and conclusions: The publications identified by researchers as important, in general and by discipline, were very diverse and in few cases there was some particular leadership of some titles. Several of the identified factors were confirmed as important in selecting a journal to read or publish, for example, predilection for open access electronic journals and full text that also do not charge the authors to publish; importance of major national, regional and global bibliographic information systems; Increasing value of scientific publication for the academic career and salary of Latin American researchers in the social sciences. Spanish as a regional language is very important in the selection of a magazine to read and publish. Regional bibliographic systems are more valued than those of greater global recognition.
