Submissions

Author Guidelines

TYPE OF MATERIAL

Revista Historia y Patrimonio publishes three types of material in electronic format: Articles, Project Notes and Reviews. For the submission of contributions in any of these sections, authors should consider the following formal and content standards:

Articles

An article consists of an unpublished text that is the product of scientific research. This means that each contribution to this section should state the typical components of a research project -objectives, hypotheses, methodology, conclusions-. Texts should be between 6,000 and 9,000 words in length, including footnotes. Contributions in the form of articles will be subject to double-blind evaluation by the members of the referee team. Articles may include a maximum of 8 images or figures.

Project notes

A project note consists of a concise and complete description of an applied research work, an intervention project or a case study. It presents partial or specific results of an academic-professional work. Project notes have a primarily technical and/or methodological orientation. The notes should contain a summary of the project, indicating name, date of work (original and intervention or study), place, main materiality, surface and program. The body of the text can have a maximum of 3,000 words and 12 images or figures. Project notes will be selected by the editorial committee.

Reviews

A review consists of a short text that critically analyzes a primary source (an archival document in text or image format) or a secondary source (a book published within the last 5 years). Reviews of academic texts, documentary sources or works that make a significant contribution to the disciplines covered by the journal, either as a compilation of sources or as a methodological presentation, are encouraged. The review will have a maximum length of 2,000 words and may be accompanied by a maximum of 1 image or figure. The reviews will be selected by the editorial committee.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

All material must comply to the following presentation standards:

• It should be unpublished work, not previously published in another medium or in the editorial process.
  
  
• The texts must be in accordance with the Editorial Line of the journal and its Ethical Norms.
• The article review process includes the use of the Turnitin similarity detection tool.
  
  
• The languages of publication are Spanish or English. Articles and Project notes published in Spanish must include an abstract and keywords in English, and Articles and Project notes published in English must include an abstract and keywords in Spanish.
  
  
• The material must be submitted in Word format with a maximum total weight of 8 MB. All graphic material must be numbered and inserted in the text file following the paragraph that discusses it. Only in case the work is selected, authors will be asked to submit high resolution images (300 ppi, 20 cm long) or editable vector format. All graphic material must have the corresponding reproduction authorization and its origin will be cited in the image caption.
  
  
• In the case of Articles, the file must be anonymized and may not include references to works or material that may identify the author/s. If it is necessary to include references to the author's own work, the citation information should be replaced by [AUTHOR/S].
  
  
• The academic affiliation of the author/s will be informed in the form, as well as the research projects or scholarships to which the work contributes. It is the author's responsibility to indicate the name of their institution correctly.
  
  
• All authors must provide an e-mail address for publication and, in the case of Reviews and Articles, their ORCID registration number.
  
  
• In the case of Articles, papers with more than 4 authors will be accepted only in exceptional cases. Reviews may not have more than one author, and in the case of Project Notes, up to three natural persons may appear as authors. The names of professional societies may also be indicated and it is acceptable to mention other members of the participating team in the files, but they will not be indexed as authors.
  
  
• In the case of Articles, citations and bibliographic references should prioritize mentions of recent work (within the last 10 years), published in high impact indexed journals (Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo) and not include more than 30% of self-citations.

ARTICLE FORMAT

All material should follow the following presentation standards:

1. Format

Texts should be submitted in the following format:

• Letter size document format, with margins of 2.5 cms. and text with 1.5 pts. line spacing.
• Pages numbered in the lower right corner.
• Body text in Times New Roman font, size 12, with justified paragraph. Footnotes in Times New Roman font, size 10, with justified paragraph.

2. Content structure

The first page of the articles should contain:

• A title in Spanish/English and its translation into English/Spanish, of a maximum of 15 words in length.
• An abstract of 200 words in Spanish/English and its translation into English/Spanish. It should outline the research problem (objectives and hypothesis), the methodology and the results. References should not be included in this section.
• Three to five key words in Spanish/English, separated by semicolons, and their translation into English/Spanish.

Articles should follow the traditional ITDC structure (Introduction, Theoretical Framework, Development, Conclusions), and can be freely organized from this structure into chapters or thematic sections.

3. Figures and tables:

Figures should be numbered sequentially and referenced from the text as "figure 1" or using the abbreviation "(Fig. 1)" in parentheses.

The caption of each image should briefly describe the type of content, title, author, date and origin. In the case of requiring a more detailed identification of the documentary source, this may be indicated in a footnote. In the case of content produced by the author/s, it should be indicated as "prepared by the author/s" and the origin of the basic content should be indicated when appropriate. For example:

Fig. 1 - "The Letter", Pedro Lira, n. d., oil on canvas, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.

Fig. 2 - Photograph of the Alameda at the height of the San Francisco church, anonymous, c. 1856, National Historical Museum.

A separate numbering will be used for tables ("Table 1"). Only a brief description of its contents and the origin of the information will be indicated as a footnote for the table following the criteria for figures. For example:

Table 1 - Infant mortality between 1850-1875, La Serena parish books.

The captions of figures or tables should not be used to include comments on them.

4. Citations and Bibliography

The Chicago 17th Manual of Style and its system of Notes and Bibliography should be used, with references numbered in superscript and referring to footnotes. Citations in parentheses in the body of text are not accepted.

For example, when citing for the first time, the footnote should read:

1. Zadie Smith, Swing Time(New York: Penguin Press, 2016), 315-16.
2. Henry David Thoreau, "Walking," in The Making of the American Essay, ed. John D'Agata (Minneapolis: Graywolf Press, 2016), 177-78.
3. Susan Satterfield, "Livy and the Pax Deum," Classical Philology111, no. 2 (April 2016): 170.
4. Shao-Hsun Keng, Chun-Hung Lin, and Peter F. Orazem, "Expanding College Access in Taiwan, 1978-2014: Effects on Graduate Quality and Income Inequality," Journal of Human Capital11, no. 1 (Spring 2017): 9-10, https://doi.org/10.1086/690235.

Once a work is cited, in successive citations, a shortened note is used:

1. Smith, Swing Time, 320.
2. Thoreau, "Walking," 182.
3. Keng, Lin, and Orazem, "Expanding College Access," 23.

Footnotes may also be used for other annotations and comments, which may be made in a specific footnotes or integrated into the citation notes. In both cases, comments should be restricted to what is strictly necessary. Likewise, the citation of sources that are not closely related to the content of the text should be avoided.

A bibliography must be included at the end of the document with all references in the format established by the Chicago 17th writing standard:

Grazer, Brian, and Charles Fishman. A Curious Mind: The Secret to a Bigger Life.New York: Simon & Schuster, 2015.

Smith, Zadie. Swing Time. New York: Penguin Press, 2016.
