''iMex. México Interdisciplinario / Interdisciplinary Mexico '' is an on-line publication founded in 2011, which appears twice a year. It is edited by Vittoria Borsò (Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf), Frank Leinen (Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf), Guido Rings (Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge) and  Yasmin Temelli (University of Siegen). iMex is dedicated to Mexican studies.

iMex aims at linking the extremely productive Mexicanist research of various disciplines, increasing the visibility and the academic results about Mexican studies.

The focus is on literary and cultural studies, science of history, communications theory, history of art, media studies, philosophy, political science, jurisprudence, sociolinguistics, sociology and economics.

Purpose
The focus of the different disciplines, methodologies and perspectives is on the study of Mexican cultural diversity, both in terms of historical and contemporary phenomena, as well as on the study of the interrelations resulting from these two areas. The interconnection of different approaches also includes comparative research, such as the study of relations between Mexico and the Latin American continent, the United States of America, Europe and Oceania.

Themes
The publication depicts a broad spectrum of Mexico's social, political and cultural panorama. To this end, iMex relies on the discussion of current theoretical concepts and contemporary philosophical tendencies, aiming to stimulate new readings and critical discussions. The central themes of the journal are the relationships between cultural, literary, political, social and economic phenomena and their consequences for Mexico from the pre-Columbian era to the present.

The biannual issues are each dedicated to a specific theme, with individual contributions generating a polyphony of different voices and opinions.

Profile
iMex is an open-access online publication. It is characterized by two basic features: the publication of articles in Spanish and English, written by both renowned Mexicanists and the new generation of scholars, and the review of new publications in this field of research.

Each issue contains a dossier on a particular topic, with a specific focus and approach. The peculiarity of the publication is the combination of its profile and the choice of topics. The Internet publication iMex aims to make the scientific research in the field of Mexican Studies more visible, addressing not only scholars and students, but also a wide audience interested in Mexican culture and society.

Free Access
Since iMex is freely available on the Internet and also takes into account recently published sources, it is possible to create a continuously growing virtual community so that research results on Mexican culture, politics and economy can be communicated quickly and worldwide. With iMex, a platform for international scientific exchange has thus been created.
