Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica
The Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (RevMexAA), abbreviated RMxAA, founded in 1974, publishes original research papers in all branches of astronomy, astrophysics and closely related fields. It is a successor to Boletín de los Observatorios Tonantzintla y Tacubaya which was published 1952-1972.
It is edited by Instituto de Astronomia of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. It publishes two issues every year. For the first twenty years it also included, as separate volumes, proceedings of astronomical conferences in Mexico and Latin America, where 13 reports of meetings were produced. In 1995 it was decided to create a new publication dedicated to this purpose, the Revista Mexicana de Astronomia y Astrofisica Serie de Conferencias, abbreviated RMxAC.
Much information on the history of RmxAA up to 2010 was published in an article entitled Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica, a real option for astronomical publication in 2011,[1] and previous information in other bibliometric articles.[2][3]
It is considered one of the scientific journal in Latinamerica with the highest impact factor [4]
