The Editorial Fund of the National University of San Marcos is the publishing division of the university. It is responsible for the production and dissemination of physical and digital books and magazines that offer new knowledge for the global society. These publications constitute a key pillar in the formation and development of Peruvian humanistic and scientific traditions, and represent the firm commitment of the University of San Marcos to culture and disciplinary research.
The Editorial Fund of University of San Marcos was created in 2002. It had as its predecessor the Publications Directorate, which functioned since the middle of the 20th century. Currently, it belongs to the General Directorate of Libraries and Publications of the Vice-Rector for Research and Postgraduate Studies of the UNMSM. During all these decades, it assumed as a task the provision of editorial services correlated with the teaching and research carried out at the National University of San Marcos by intellectuals and academics from various parts of the world.
For a work to be published under this Fund, it must comply with the publication rules established for such case. After the approval of the document, it goes through a process of editorial review, printing and distribution through multiple commercial channels, in order to disseminate new knowledge in various disciplinary fields (such as literature, history, art, sociology, anthropology, archeology, communication, medicine, philosophy, biology, linguistics, law, among others).
An academic journal or scholarly journal is a periodical publication in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published. Academic journals serve as permanent and transparent forums for the presentation, scrutiny, and discussion of research. They nearly-universally require peer-review or other scrutiny from contemporaries competent and established in their respective fields. Content typically takes the form of articles presenting original research, review articles, or book reviews. The purpose of an academic journal, according to Henry Oldenburg, is to give researchers a venue to "impart their knowledge to one another, and contribute what they can to the Grand design of improving natural knowledge, and perfecting all Philosophical Arts, and Sciences."

The National University of San Marcos is a public research university located in Lima, the capital of Peru. It is considered the most important, recognized and representative educational institution at the national level. At the continental level, it is the first officially established and the oldest continuously operating university in the Americas, which is why it appears in official documents and publications as "University of Peru, Dean University of the Americas". It had its beginnings in the general studies that were offered in the cloisters of the convent of the Rosario of the order of Santo Domingo —current Basilica and Convent of Santo Domingo— around 1548. Its official foundation was conceived by Fray Thomas de San Martín on May 12, 1551; with the decree of Emperor Carlos I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman Empire, in 1571, it acquired the degree of pontifical granted by Pope Pius V with which it ended up being named as "Royal and Pontifical University of the City of the Kings of Lima". Being recognized by the Spanish Crown as the first university in America officially founded by Real cédula, it is also referred to as "University of Lima" throughout the Viceroyalty. Throughout its history, the university had a total of four colleges under tutelage: the Colegio Real y Mayor de San Martín and the Colegio Real y Mayor de San Felipe y San Marcos, the Real Colegio de San Carlos —focused on law and letters, derived from the merger of the two previous ones—and the Royal College of San Fernando—focused on medicine and surgery—. In the times of emancipation, it acquired a main role in the formation of several of the leaders managing the independence of Peru. After the proclamation of independence and during the republic, it maintains both colloquially and formally —in various treaties and documents historical—its name as "Universidad de Lima" until 1946, the year in which its current name and denomination as National and Major University were made official.
