Rules for authors and anonymous peers
1) About the submission of articles
Procesos receives unpublished research articles, in Spanish, for the Studies and Debates sections. They must be submitted according to the stipulations stated in the section “About the journal”.
The texts presented for publication must not have been submitted simultaneously to any other journal. It is therefore assumed that they are free of editorial commitments.
There are no specific dates for the reception of papers for the free theme issues; they are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, or based on an invitation. On the other hand, the editor of Procesos and the dossier’s coordinator define the monographic issues’ schedule.
The authors of articles and reviews must submit their work exclusively through the Open Access Platform (OJS).
In addition to the proposed article, a summary in Spanish of one hundred words, a list of six key words, and the author's details in a maximum of one hundred words, including his/her email address, academic degrees obtained, institutional affiliation, current positions, research topics, the last three publications and his/her ORCID number must be attached.
Manuscripts submitted must follow the Chicago Manual of Style (2013) editorial guidelines. Examples that illustrate these guidelines are included in “Editorial Guidelines”.
Procesos. Revista Ecuatoriana de Historia does not charge submission fees, or publication fees for its contributions.
2) Obligations of the authors
Whoever submits an article must declare that the authorship belongs entirely to him/her, and that he/she complies with the intellectual property rights of third parties. If he/she uses other people’s material (photographs, charts, maps, graphs in general), he/she must include the credit and the respective legal authorization. By subscribing authorship, they also declare that the research was conducted honestly and with no improper manipulation of the evidence.
The authors sign the “Letter of acceptance of conditions for article submission” and, in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license to which Procesos subscribes, authorize the Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Sede Ecuador and Corporación Editora Nacional to publish, disseminate and store their article, as well as the free and open use of its content, in whole or in part, in digital and printed publications, materials and dissemination activities; in educational resources, scientific and cultural promotion, and, by way of example but not limited to, to reproduce it by any other printed, electronic or other means, provided that the corresponding author credit is given, without receiving any financial compensation.
In all publications of Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Sede Ecuador and Corporación Editora Nacional, we strive for a written expression that does not discriminate against women or any social group and that, at the same time, recognizes history, language structure and economy, and the most comfortable use thereof for the readers and speakers. Therefore, we do not accept sexist or inconvenient uses from the point of view of equality. On the other hand, because they contravene the standard use of language, an immoderate use of inclusive duplications, the morpheme e, @ (which is not a letter) or x to compose supposedly generic words is not accepted either.
3) About the evaluation process
All articles are reviewed by two anonymous peers who examine the academic quality of the proposed works, in a context of freedom of expression, critical dialogue, and observance of ethical principles.
The author of the proposed text is obliged to consider the final opinion. The requested changes and corrections are binding on the publication and must be completed within the specified deadline. Once the revised paper has been received, the author will be informed of its acceptance, as well as the publication schedule. The journal reserves the right to make style corrections to accepted papers.
For the review, readers use the “Peer-Review Form”. In case of a discrepancy in the reviewers’ opinion, a resolving third evaluator will be sought. The Editorial Committee and the editor will ultimately decide on the publication of a text in the event of such a conflict.
Neither the anonymous reviewers communicate directly with each other, nor with the author of the paper. Communication between them is mediated by the editor.
The reviewers have approximately four weeks to carry out the evaluation. Authors have two weeks to add their comments.
Reviews and other contributions, submitted or requested by the Editorial Committee or the editor, may deal with books that have been published within the last four years.
Editorial Guide
Articles proposed for the Studies section must be between 10,000 and 12,000 words long; and for Debates, the range must be between 8,000 and 10,000, including footnotes and bibliography. They must be presented in one-and-a-half spacing, with margins of 2.5 cm above and below and 3 cm to the left and right, in A4 format, Times New Roman, number 12, with indentation on the first line of each paragraph.
Textual quotations of more than four lines must be placed in a separate paragraph, with a line separating them above and below, with a continuous space, with a reduced margin and without indentation.
Reviews must be 1,500 words long.
Footnotes must appear in consecutive Arabic numerals, in 10-point font, single-spaced, according to the citation guidelines indicated below.
At the end of each article, the consulted repositories and the bibliography used are included, with a French indent.
Articles may include up to two levels of subtitles.
In cases of reproducing a segment of a quote, or if it is missing words or appears illegible, brackets with ellipses are used […]. Brackets are also used to include letters or words that complete the meaning.
To refer to other sources, the word “Véase” should be used. Avoid the use of “vid.”, “ver” or “cf.”
Words in Latin or another language are in italics.
The first time a reference with an abbreviation is used, the full name must be included, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Afterwards, only the latter will be used.
All tables, graphs or illustrations must have an identification caption, consecutive numbering and, if they are sent in an attached file, include the reference to the specific place of insertion in the text.
Photo or illustration files must also be submitted in separate digital format (300 DPI).
Citation Guidelines (Chicago Deusto Standards)
