Editorial policy

Submission of a paper for publication in Latin American Journal of Trade Policy (LAJTP) implies that the content is original and has not been submitted for publication in any other medium. Contributions are received in English and Spanish.

Submission of articles

Submissions

Articles should be sent through the Portal of Academic Journals of the University of Chile. To do so, it will be necessary to register and log in both to submit the manuscript and to subsequently check its status. Any questions should be directed to the contacts indicated in the section About the Journal.

Papers should be sent through the Portal in two formats: one of them, in PDF format without indicating the author's name, nor mentioning funding projects, nor any other identification or commentary (exception: if the author quotes himself or herself in the article, he or she must not hide such quotes); and the other in Word format, duly identifying all that is necessary (authors, funding projects, etc). Both documents must follow the same rules of style. Both versions must have page numbers.

In a separate document, the author must attach a brief curriculum vitae in no more than one page. The city of residence and country must be indicated in the file. 

Altogether, the authors must upload three files to the system, with all the data requested by the system.

General requirements

Papers must be no longer than 10,000 words and must include an abstract in Spanish and English, and five key words in Spanish and English.

The first page of the document (Word format) will contain the title of the article, followed by its translation into Spanish (or English, as the case may be) written in italics, and the full name of the author(s). A footnote to author's (authors') name(s) will indicate: profession, academic degrees, institutional affiliation or place of work, institutional e-mail address, and ORCID number.

Acknowledgements or identifications of research funding projects will be noted in a footnote to the title.

If the manuscript corresponds to -or is derived from- a previous work, such as an undergraduate, master's, or doctoral thesis, this should be expressly indicated in a footnote. In case the paper has been presented as a summary at a congress or has any antecedent, this must be specified with the corresponding citation.

The paragraphs of the article shall be adjusted without indentation and duly separated.

The body of the article as well as its footnotes and bibliography shall be in Times New Roman font and presented with justified margins. The body of the article will be size 12 and the footnotes will be size 10.

Structure

Articles should be as concise as possible and should not exceed 10,000 words, including notes and references (Garamond, 11). They must include an abstract of approximately 250 words and up to five keywords, both in English and Spanish.

The first page includes the title both in English and Spanish (in capital letters), abstract and author's (authors') name(s). A different page contains author’s current affiliation and contact information (e-mail address and phone number), and also the submission and acceptance date.
