Author Guidelines

The articles submitted to the Interdisciplinary Journal of Social Studies must be original, not have been previously published in any of its versions and not be simultaneously proposed for this purpose in another journal.

The originals will be submitted to an editorial process that will be developed in several phases. In the first place, the articles received will be subject to a preliminary evaluation by the members of the Editorial Committee and the Director, who will determine the relevance of the publication. Once it is established that the article meets the thematic requirements, in addition to the formal requirements indicated in these instructions, it will be sent to external academic peers, who will determine anonymously: a) publish without changes, b) publish after minor revisions, c) publish after substantial changes and d) reject. In case of a discrepancy between both results, the text will be sent to a third peer review, whose decision will define the publication. The results of the academic opinion process will be final in all cases.

 

Guidelines for authors

The guidelines in this publication are based on the 2020 APA Standards (Seventh Edition).

 

  1. Along with the article Word file, the author or authors must attach an abbreviated Curriculum Vitae of each author of no more than 500 words (in a separate file).

The size of the margins should be Normal: 2.54 cm (1 inch) on all sides (top, bottom, left and right).

  1. Sources and titles. Use only one type of font for all text (titles, subtitles, citations, notes and headings). Paragraphs will start with a 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) indentation. Spaces should not be added between paragraphs. Use bold and italics according to the title level; avoid underlines. Titles should not be numbered. Titles and subtitles must have double spacing; avoid leaving blank lines above and below them, even at the end of a page. Adjust the titles to the following levels:

Level 1: (title of the work) each word should start in bold capital

letters, centralized, without underlining. Ex:

Level 2: Each word starting in capital letters, bold, left margin, no

indentation, no final period. Ex:

Block transcriptions (of more than 40 words) will be in a separate paragraph, with an indentation of 1.27 cm (half an inch) in its entire left margin, without opening and closing quotation marks, in 12 Times New Roman body, with double spacing. If the citation includes more than one paragraph, start the second and subsequent paragraphs with an additional indentation of 1.27 cm (half an inch). At the end of the quote indicate the source and page number. The same should be done in the case of interviews or documentary sources that are cited in the body of the text. When any comment is added to the interview, it should be placed in square brackets. For example: “[that day] we went to the march.” In case of fragmenting the interview, use parentheses (...).
  2. Bibliographic references within the text. The bibliographic references within the text will be made between parentheses, the author’s last name, year of publication, the page number or pages.

Different authors cited in the same parentheses must be ordered alphabetically and not chronologically (Ex: (Bourdieu, 1980; Foucault, 1975).
  3. Complete bibliographic references. All bibliographic references cited in the main text or in the notes must be included at the end of the work in alphabetical order by the authors’ last name. The References title should be centered, bold and start on a new page. The list of references must have a French indentation of 1.27 cm (one-half inch). If there are several works by the same author published in the same year, the distinction between them will be made using letters. Example: (Fairclough, 2000a; Fairclough, 2000b).
