Instructions to authors

• Scope and policy
• Form and preparation of manuscripts
• Sending of manuscripts

The journal Papeles de trabajo - Centro de Estudios Interdisciplinarios en Etnolingüística y Antropología Socio-Cultural will acknowledge receipt of the originals sent by the authors. The Editorial Board may reject an article, without evaluating it, when it considers that it does not adapt to the standards, both formal and content, or does not correspond to the thematic scope of the publication.

Once it has been verified that the manuscript meets the journal's criteria, two external reviewers specializing in the subject, proposed by the Editorial Board, are selected to evaluate the article through the "double blind" system, that is, the anonymity of both the author and reviewers. The work of the reviewers is free and there is no payment for this work. When the review process is completed and the reviewers propose to accept the article, the Scientific Council reviews them again and issues a final criterion for publication. 

If the works require improvements, the authors will have a maximum of three weeks to return the article with the requested improvements. If after this period, the corrected article has not been returned, the work will not be considered for publication. The authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of the article. In each published article, the dates of its reception and approval will be indicated.

Plagiarism or redundant publication policies

The articles to be published must be original and unpublished, although those that have been communicated as a brief note, communication or summary in the minutes of a conference will also be accepted, provided that the text on which it is based is properly cited and that the modifications involve a substantial modification of what has already been published. These circumstances must be specified and the original publication cited appropriately.

When submitting an article, the authors are asked to declare that the article has not been previously published or sent to other journals for evaluation. They are also asked to declare that they are following the Instructions for Authors, which establishes that the articles to be submitted must be original.

Upon receipt and prior to the evaluation process, Internet search tools are used in order to corroborate the originality and avoid plagiarism practices. To verify its originality, the manuscript may be examined using the Crossref Similarity Check service. Likewise, when sending it for evaluation, reviewing specialists are asked to pay attention to signs of plagiarism, as they are knowledgeable about the literature on the subject.

If redundant or duplicate publications are detected, the guidelines established by COPE | Committee on Publication Ethics https://publicationethics.org/files/Spanish%20%281%29.pdf
