Form and preparation of manuscripts
1. Editorial scope and policy 2. Format and preparation of manuscripts Articles sent to Sociedad y Religión. Sociología, Antropología e Historia de la religión en el Cono Sur must meet the conditions outlined below. Should these not be met, the article will not be included in the review process.
2.1 . General rules 2.1.1 . Research articles They must be accompanied by a cover page indicating: the author’s name, the institution’s address, telephone and fax number(s), and e-mail address. The title of the article must be in both its original language and English, and must be preceded by an abstract of between 100 to 200 words in both languages. Three to five keywords or descriptors should be placed at the end of each abstract. Abstracts must provide an account of the structure of the work, indicating its purposes, questions, methodology and main conclusions. Submissions with a theoretical framework, must indicate this, together with any hypotheses, before the methodology. Works must be clearly divided into properly subtitled sections (and subsections if needed). The Introduction, Conclusion, References and Sources sections are not to be numbered. Foreign words or phrases should be in italics, and any technical terms should be written with single quotation marks. Tables, figures and graphs should be incorporated in the text, and properly numbered. Footnotes are not to be used for bibliographic references, but only for comments, expatiations or clarifications to the body of the text. Direct quotations included in the text must appear in double quotation marks within the paragraph if they do not exceed two lines. Quotations of three or more lines should appear in a separate paragraph without quotation marks and inset left with a margin of 1.25cm. Direct quotations within the text should be indicated as follows: (author’s last name, year, and number of pages cited or referred to). In the case of three or more authors, they must all be mentioned in the first quotation, and the first author’s surname followed by the abbreviation ‘et al.’ be used in subsequent ones. A reference to an author in the text without a quotation should be indicated as follows: (author’s last name, year). In the case of three or more authors, they must all be mentioned in the first quotation, and the first author’s surname followed by the abbreviation ‘et al.’ When referring to lengthy works such as books or theses, the page number(s) considered necessary to sustain the argument must be indicated. All works cited in the text must be included in the References section; all works included in the References section should also appear in the body of the manuscript. The References should be relevant and justified by the line of argument of the submitted text. 2.1.2 . Short articles They must be accompanied by a cover page indicating: the author’s name, the institution’s address, telephone and fax number(s), and e-mail address. Short articles will deal with topics that, while not justifying the writing of a lengthier article, are of importance to the scientific community. In this sense, works will be welcome that deal with bibliographic reviews on a topic, discussions and controversies, theoretical and methodological reflections, breakthroughs in research, case studies, recent discoveries, source criticism, etc. Works will have a title, but its translation, the summary or key words are unnecessary. Titles should clearly indicate the nature of the proposed article. Given the brevity of these articles, a simple structure is suggested, without major subdivisions or subtitles. The formal aspects for including quotations or references will be as for Research articles. Short articles will be evaluated by the Editorial Committee, with special attention to their originality and topicality in the field of social sciences of religion. 2.1.3 . Reviews and thesis summaries They must be accompanied by a cover page indicating: the author’s name, the institution’s address, telephone and fax number(s), and e-mail address. We particularly encourage authors of master’s and doctorate theses to send in summaries clearly specifying their methodological design and textual structure. Titles of works must coincide with those of the relevant theses and shall mention the institution where they were defended. The purposes and questions or hypotheses must be clearly indicated, as must the object and scope of the study, the methodology used and the main conclusions. Bibliographic references and textual subdivisions should be kept to a minimum. We also receive reviews of books, journals, Internet portals, scientific gatherings and other sources of scientific knowledge communication and production on the topics covered by the journal. Reviews are to be headed with the complete bibliographic data of the work according to the rules for bibliographic references below. In the case of books and journals the ISBN or ISSN number will be included where appropriate. Textual subdivisions will not be included. Reviews will be evaluative and will represent the author’s stance towards the works discussed. They must specify their addressees or potential readers, their structure (chapters or parts for books or journals, sections in the case of webpages, etc.) and any other information deemed relevant. Reviewed works will be seen in the context of their publication and of other similar works, and original contributions made in them will be identified. It is recommended that care be taken over of the length of the review and its relationship to other works; for more exhaustive literature reviews a short article is recommended. Reviews and thesis summaries are not assessed by the peer review committee. 2.2 . Bibliographic references References should be clearly distinguished from any Sources analysed in the work. These will be indicated before the bibliographical references, following the rules and abbreviations used in different archive systems. In the event of using quotation conventions, these must be explicitly stated at their first occurrence in the text. Bibliographic references will be in alphabetical order and will be organized following a mixed system used by various Argentine publishers, academic journals and universities. Remember that the name of the city of publication should be always in Spanish (e.g. not ‘Paris’, but ‘París’; no ‘London’ but ‘Londres’, etc.). Authors should check the organization of their references before sending their manuscripts and using the criteria indicated here. - Books by single authors: - Books whose reference copies are not first editions: - Books by two authors: - Books by three or more authors: - Books with one or more publishers or coordinator: - Republished classics: - Books by institutional authors: - Books included in Complete Works - Works in several volumens: - Book chapters: - Articles included compilations: - Journal articles: - e-Journal articles: - Newspaper articles: - Theses: - Unpublished papers: - Papers published in conference Proceedings: Digital format: - Unpublished documents: - e-Documents: - Useful abbreviations Where appropriate, these abbreviations will also be recorded in bibliographic quotations in the body of the text; e.g. (Ramos, s.a.). 3.
