Author Guidelines

Form and Preparation of Original Articles

Authors will exclusively submit through the OJS platform, in a format compatible with the Microsoft Word word processor (extensions ".doc" or ".docx"). The writings may have a maximum length of 10,000 words or 30 pages in letter size with a 1.5 spacing in Arial 12 font, including notes, tables, graphs, illustrations, citations, and bibliographic references. Articles and essays should include institutional affiliation of the authors in the following way: nationality, academic degree, institution (department or faculty and University), city, country, email, and ORCID registration. It should be specified if the article is a product of a research project, and if so, which institution funded it. If there is more than one contributor, the first name will correspond to the main author and the following to co-authors. In no case should the total number of author names exceed four people. Articles should include an abstract of up to 100 words (approximately 10 lines), specifying the main objectives, sources, and research results. Following the abstract, a list of three to six keywords should be attached, preferably chosen from the UNESCO Thesaurus (http://databases.unesco.org/thessp/). The title, abstract, and keywords should be in both Spanish and English.

The formal structure of the article should be as follows:

1. Title (centered and bold)
2. Title translated into English
3. Author's Name (aligned to the right) with a footnote indicating academic degree, institution (department or faculty and University), city, country, email, and ORCID registration
4. Abstract in Spanish (centered)
5. Keywords in Spanish (centered)
6. Abstract (centered)
7. Keywords (centered)
8. Introduction
9. Body of work (chapters and subchapters)
10. Conclusions
11. Bibliographical references.

Points 7 through 10 should be justified.

The criteria for evaluating and selecting articles will be as follows:

1. Formal Aspects: compliance with orthographic and writing norms and others established in these "Author Guidelines".
2. Title and abstract: clear and precise description of the article's topic.
3. Presentation: clear exposition of the problem(s), objectives, and working hypotheses.
4. Theoretical and methodological foundation: the methodology to be used and the theoretical perspective adopted should be clearly stated.
5. Bibliography and sources: use of updated bibliography and variety of sources related to the adopted problem. The use of primary sources is positively evaluated.
6. Results: clear and explicit presentation of research results in the conclusions.

Citations and bibliographical references will follow the Chicago Style, in its 16th Edition. This system has two variants: the "footnote system" and the "author-year system." In Revueltas, we recommend the author-year system. If you need a detailed guide on how to cite, we recommend reviewing the following link: [link provided]. The Chicago Style used by the journal establishes, among others, the following form:

Bibliographic Sources

Bibliographic references should be inserted within the text indicating in parentheses the author's last name, year of publication, and page(s). Example: (Garretón, 1991, pp.43-49)

When the author is named in the text, only the year and page(s) are indicated. Example: ... considering the above, Garretón (1991, pp. 43-49) argued that the so-called processes of democratic transition ...

When citing multiple works by the same author, it should be noted (Garretón, 1991; 1995; 2007)

When an author has more than one publication in the same year, the publication year is accompanied by a lowercase letter. For example: ... in two recent texts (Gómez, 2010a, p. 15; Gómez, 2010b, p. 69) it is indicated that ...

When there are more than one author in a work (2 or 3) it is noted as follows: (Alcántara and Freidenberg, 2003, p. 83); (Valdivia, Álvarez, and Pinto, 2006, p. 25)

When there are more than 3 authors (Garretón et.al., 2004, p.37) Bibliographic references should be located at the end of the article, following a strict alphabetical and chronological order, following the following forms:
