PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Cuadernos de Antropología Social it has external double-blind peer arbitration to guarantee the quality of the content. The Editorial committee makes a first review of the originals to ensure both correct compliance with the journal's editing standards and the quality of the content. After this stage, the articles are sent to external referees to evaluate their quality. The evaluation process consists of the following stages:

First stage: internal evaluation

The articles received will be evaluated in the first instance by the Editorial Committee, verifying whether they meet the basic requirements of a scientific article, are within the standards of the journal and conform to the approach and policies of the journal Cuadernos de Antropología Social.
If the article is considered within the acceptable parameters of the journal's standards and guidelines, the author will be informed that his or her work will be evaluated by external reviewers – national and/or international – under the double-blind system (maintaining the anonymity between author(s) and evaluators).
If the article is within the parameters but does not conform to the stipulated Guidelines for submitting manuscripts, Cuadernos may request the author(s) to send the manuscript appropriate to the guidelines within a period of no more than seven days.
If the Editorial Committee considers that the contribution received does not comply with the approach and/or the minimum requirements to be published by this journal, the author will be informed of the article's non-relevance.

Second stage: external evaluation

If the article passes the first instance, the Editorial Team will select two evaluators external to the publishing institution with national and/or international affiliations, to review the article. They will be researchers and/or academics with recognized experience and suitability in the area of ​​the article to be evaluated and with an academic level identical or higher than that of the authors of the article.
The evaluators will have a time stipulated by the Editorial Committee of 30 (thirty) days to evaluate the article. Its opinion must be based on criteria of relevance, originality and academic quality, established by the journal.
These may suggest modifications related to the content, structure, methodology, data and/or bibliographic references that they consider significant and relevant to the evaluated work. They must be based on criteria defined in the corresponding form, be objective and respectful of dissent, promoting construction and critical exchange and tending to guide and improve contributions.
The reviewers, according to their evaluation, must select a decision among those defined by the journal, which may be:

Accept your post without changes. The submission must meet the requirements of a scientific article, be correctly structured and developed and respond to the demands of the journal (originality, topicality, be correctly written, be the result of research, contain a clear methodological development and a consistent analysis of the data, discussion with updated bibliography, etc.).
If there is agreement between the different reviewers in the evaluation, the author(s) will be informed of the acceptance of the article and the planning of its publication. The article goes to the copyediting and editing stage.

Accept your publication with minor modifications. In this case, for articles that are within the aforementioned parameters but require style modifications, spelling correction, or minimal content modifications.
Unless the evaluator explicitly requests it, the article will not need a new review by the referee regarding the modifications made. The editorial team will be in charge of monitoring that the suggestions made are incorporated into the text by the author.
If the reviewers agree, once the modifications have been made, the article is accepted and goes to the editing stage.

Accept your publication with major modifications. For articles that, although they are considered within the mentioned parameters, the evaluation requests important modifications as a requirement to be accepted. These modifications may refer to the content of the article, its structure, its writing, the incorporation of data and/or more supported arguments, bibliography, etc.
The opinions with the reviewers' suggestions will be sent to the author(s) and they will have a period of 20 (twenty) days to make the suggested modifications.
Once the article modified by the author is uploaded again to the system, a second round will begin in which the reviewers who requested modifications will participate, who must endorse – or not – them, within a period of no more than 15 (fifteen ) days.
Once this second round has been carried out, if the article is endorsed in the modifications made, it goes to the editing stage. If the evaluators consider that the suggestions have not been incorporated, the Editorial Team may make the decision - in accordance with the opinions and their academic criteria - to request new modifications from the author, or to reject it.

Reject publication. The evaluator considers that the evaluated article has important flaws and/or does not meet the minimum requirements to be published in the journal according to its standards.
If the evaluation of the reviewers agrees in not accepting the publication of the article, the editors will inform the author(s) of the decision via email along with the opinions of the evaluators and/or an explanation of why their article is not relevant to publish it in Cuadernos.

Dispute resolution

In the event of disputes between the evaluators (acceptance/rejection), the Editorial Committee will request the opinion of a third referee. If the evaluation results in a rejection and an acceptance with major modifications, the Editorial Committee will evaluate whether it is pertinent to request the opinion of a third referee or suggest the author rewrite his contribution and send it again.
The Editorial Committee has, ultimately, the final decision to publish, archive or reject contributions received. This decision is made under your responsibility and in accordance with the analysis of the opinions and the controversies that may have arisen therein.
The Editorial Committee has the power to reject contributions received at any stage of the process – even after having passed the reviewer stage – if any type of ethical misconduct or undeclared conflict of interest is detected.
In the event that the author is asked to make modifications, he must take into account the suggestions and observations of the evaluators and the Editorial Team of the journal, and must commit to making such modifications in a period of no more than 20 (twenty) days. At the time of uploading the new document with the modifications made, the author must also send an email to the editors with a copy to cuadernosseanso@gmail.com with a document that summarizes the changes made and/or in case of not agreeing or incorporating Suggested modifications, the justification for this.

Cuadernos de Antropología Social adopts the Standards of the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition as a formal and standardized basis for citations and bibliographic references . Some basic generalities related to the most frequent citations and bibliographic references are briefly described below. However, if there is doubt about the correct form of citation in a particular case, it is recommended to consult one of the basic official manuals used by different universities and/or publishing houses that assume this standard, or failing that you can do so directly at the APA Style site .

Footnotes . They should be used, if possible , in a restricted manner, only to provide essential and specific information that cannot be included in the main text. They should not be used in the title and main subtitle of the article, nor in summaries/abstract, since they will be lost when they are indexed. It should not be used to cite bibliography (reference in the main body of the text and then in the bibliography). Footnotes will be inserted with the corresponding command of the word processor used. If the note number goes at the end of a sentence or next to a punctuation mark, it should always be placed after that mark .

Images . The images or graphic figures (charts, tables, maps, graphs, diagrams, photographs and illustrations) that are part of the text must be presented as follows:

Image files . They must be uploaded -separate from the main article- in some graphic file format such as .jpg, .tiff or vector, with a minimum resolution of 300dpi. To upload them, use the "upload complementary files" function in the area of ​​the submission you are making through the OJS platform.

The titles of the graphic elements must begin with the type and number of the same in italics or italics followed by a period and then, normally, the title or name (e.g. Figure 1. Representative photo...).

Quotes

Forms of summons

Cuadernos de Antropología Social assumes the form of citation of “Bibliographical References”, that is, only the bibliography or citation of works and texts used that appear in the manuscript should be referenced. They must be correctly cited in the main body and their complete reference in the “Bibliographical References” section.

The format of the citation must be in accordance with APA 6th edition standards. References in the main body must be between author and year (or just the year) in parentheses in the following order: Author's last name followed by a comma (,) and year of the edition used. If the citation is verbatim, the year of publication will be followed by a new comma (,) and then the abbreviation of the page(s) (p. or pp.) and, separated by a space, the page number(s) where to find the appointment. Ex.: (García Canclini, 1992, p. 45). If several references are cited, they will be ordered chronologically by year of publication from oldest to most recent and separated by semicolons (;). If the references correspond to the same author, this author will be named only once and the years will be separated by a comma. Ex: (García Canclini, 1992, 1995).

If an author has several works in the same year, these will be differentiated by adding a lowercase letter after the year.

When the reference to a text is repeated in the body of the manuscript, expressions such as op Cit., ibidem or idem, but to repeat the reference again.

Cases of citations with multiple authors : If you are trying to cite a work that has only two authors, you must cite both names every time they appear using the “and” connector (e.g. Fonseca and Cardarello, 2005). In the event that the citation has between three and five authors, the first time they appear all the authors are cited and the subsequent times only the surname of the first author will appear followed by the abbreviation et al. , without italics and with a period after al. If the citation corresponds to a text with six or more authors, only the first author followed by et al. will be cited – both the first time it appears and in subsequent times – with the aforementioned formality.

Indirect quotes or paraphrasing : In these cases it is only necessary to include the author reference and year of the cited work in parentheses.

If the paraphrase is based on the author, make the reference at the beginning of the sentence:

According to Salamanca (2010), there is consensus to consider the indigenous mobilization of Napalpí, before the massacre, in a multidimensional way that implied economic, political and social transformations.

If the paraphrasing is based on the text, the quote will go at the end:

There is certain consensus among the various researchers and actors involved to consider that the indigenous mobilization of Napalpí – prior to the massacre – had a multidimensional character (Salamanca, 2010).

Textual quotes . The textual quote must be transcribed as it is found – with punctuation and spelling – in the original, if any word is omitted, three points will be placed in square brackets [...], if there are errors in the cited original, the author can clarify with [ sic] that this is how it is in the original and/or if the error could lead to confusion (for example in dates) you can rectify it in square brackets as well.

Transcriptions of textual quotes that do not exceed 40 words will be kept in the main body of the text between double or English quotation marks ("") and without italics or bold, unless in the original quote there are emphasized words, in which case they will be kept the italics or single quotes (' ') replacing the double ones in the original. At the end of the quote the reference will be placed in parentheses (Salamanca, 2010, p.71) and it will be clarified if the emphasis that appears in the words or phrases is original or made by the author of the article.

If the quote exceeds 40 words , it will be presented separated from the main body of the text by a paragraph break and with an indentation of 2.54 cm in the left margin, without using italics or quotation marks at the beginning and end of the quote. Nor should you use ellipses at the beginning or end. Regarding the words or phrases with emphasis that appear in the quote, what was said above is maintained, as well as with the deletion of parts of the quote.

Example quote 1

As Aguier (2013) suggests, it is in the “ here and now of the refugee camp where political scenarios are created that do not have 'natural' legitimacy, but that make the humanitarian device or, in other places, the safety device” (p. 21, emphasis in original), so we must consider…

Example quote 2

In this way it seems that "anthropological studies tend to establish conclusions that are assumed to be correct, in such a way that subsequent studies on these processes and problems tend to mostly confirm what has been established." (Menendez, 2013, pp. 31-32)

Example quote 3

Menéndez (2013) states that:

In recent years I have observed that, at least with respect to certain processes and problems, anthropological studies tend to establish conclusions that become assumed to be correct, in such a way that subsequent studies on those processes and problems tend mostly to confirm established, generating a reiteration in the new products, which only add some nuances to the processes and problems studied. (pp. 31-32)

or failing that

In recent years I have observed that, at least with respect to certain processes and problems, anthropological studies tend to establish conclusions that become assumed to be correct, in such a way that subsequent studies on those processes and problems tend mostly to confirm established, generating a reiteration in the new products, which only add some nuances to the processes and problems studied. (Menéndez, 2013, pp. 31-32)
