This contribution addresses the issue of academic journals and their development in Uruguay. Through an investigation that combines qualitative and quantitative aspects, of an exploratory nature, it was sought to know which are the academic journals of the humanities that are published in Uruguay and their most salient features. In addition to this, an attempt was made to obtain information on the incidence that the Information professional has in the edition of this type of magazines and the opportunities that are presented to librarians in this area of performance. The results are analyzed and it is observed that the description of the journals studied generally coincides with the characteristics of academic journals in the region. These defining features are exposed and some considerations are presented by way of closing on the journey made in order to problematize the process of transformations that in many cases have led to the consolidation of editorial teams and the challenge that open access and openness represent. receiving contributions beyond national borders.
