"A Barriguda" is an Electronic Journal, recognized by CAPES with Qualis and indexed in databases, directories and portals open indexing. Today it is part of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Education and Law (CIPED).

The name "A Barriguda" is a tribute to the very common tree in the Caatinga (brazilian regional biome), due to its high resistance to drought.
