VERGENTIS Scientific Journal of the International Chair Innocent III
Vergentis is a scientific initiative of the
International Chair Innocent III of the Catholic University of Murcia and of
the Institutum Utriusque Iuris of the
Pontifical Lateran University for the research in History of Law, ius
commune and Canon law.
The Journal, in its six-monthly editions, comes
both in paper and digital format (the digital version is freely accessible,
with no restriction, in open access modality) and it collects scientific
articles that are submitted to two specialists in the subject, following the
process of the double-blind peer review.
In addition to this, Vergentis is in
charge of the paper and digital publication of the proceedings of the
International Conference that the International Chair Innocent III holds every
year in the Catholic University of Murcia, in the presence of the great
personalities of the academic world; the Conference represents an opportunity
to make a reflection and a debate regarding the History of Law, Canon Law and
the related subjects, without forgetting the dialogue with the Positive Jurist and always considering the signs of times.
The international standing of the Journal,
acknowledged as a forum of reflection, novelty and interdisciplinary university
research, is regarded favourably and it is supported by more than 200
Historians of Law, Jurists and Canonists of the World, who compose the
Scientific council of Referee and the Editorial Board.
Vergentis is regularly published in the catalogues of
hundreds of libraries of the world and in the main databases of scientific
journals such as Erih Plus - of the European Science Foundation-, DOAJ,
WorldCat, OpenAire, Dialnet, MIAR and many others.
