Scientific journal born within the Research Group in Fundamental and Oriented Anthropology (GRAFO) of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and where particularly relevant results of research, discussions and scientific debates carried out within the group are published. The journal is nourished by the research work (in progress or already completed) of researchers, whether they are members of the group or directly involved in its activities.

This journal, conceived and led by students of the doctoral program of the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology of the UAB for two decades, publishes original contributions to the knowledge of culturally diverse or difficult-to-reach human groups, preferably through ethnography and participant observation. The journal publishes in Spanish, Catalan, English, and Portuguese.

It is a journal to promote social network analysis in Spanish and Portuguese. It is linked to the International Network for Social Network Analysis and is organised around a broad academic community of Ibero-American researchers. It publishes mainly empirical articles with relational data. Over more than twenty years, the more than thirty volumes published have contributed to the expansion of the study of social structures in the social sciences.
