This article presents the life story of Profile. The story is based on an ethnographic case study that aimed to understand the viewpoints of Profile’s new writers and reviewers regarding the role of scientific journals in fostering communities in the knowledge society. To gather information, I relied on personal reflections from my experience as the creator and editor of the journal, along with documentary evidence (published issues, regularly collected statistics, editorial workflows, and communications with editorial teams and various bodies of Universidad Nacional de Colombia, which funds the publication). The story illustrates the inception, development, and primary challenges that need to be addressed to ensure its continuity.
Este artículo contiene el relato de vida de la revista Profile. El relato surge de un estudio de caso etnográfico que buscó conocer las percepciones de escritores noveles y evaluadores de Profile respecto al papel de las revistas científicas en la generación de comunidades en la sociedad del conocimiento. Como fuentes de información empleé una retrospectiva personal de mi trabajo como creadora y editora de la revista, así como evidencias documentales (números publicados, estadísticas que se recopilan regularmente, flujos editoriales, comunicaciones con equipos editoriales y con diversas instancias de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, que financia la publicación). El relato muestra la gestación, la evolución y los principales retos que es preciso enfrentar para asegurar su continuidad.
