Author Guidelines

Guidelines to Authors for editing

https://publicaciones.rcumariacristina.net/ERDHA/directrices

• Only original papers will be accepted. All articles will be reviewed by an anti-plagiarism programme (Turnitin) and a coincidence of more than 40% will not be accepted, including quotations and self-citations. 
• The title will appear in Spanish and English. Papers must be accompanied by an abstract of between 50 and 100 words; in addition, no more than 5 or 6 key words of the paper will be included, both in Spanish and English. 
• In order to ensure blind review, the author's name must not appear in the body of the article. Both the author's name and affiliation will be added by the journal once the article has been reviewed and accepted.
• Being a journal that moves in the Iberian, Ibero-American and Philippine historical and cultural sphere, texts can be submitted in Spanish and Portuguese, but always keeping the title, abstract and keywords in Spanish and English.
• The deadline for the submission of original texts is 28 February. After this date, the original texts will first undergo an anti-plagiarism test; they will then be submitted for external evaluation by the blind peer review system, and the editorial decision on their acceptance will be communicated and they will go on to the editing process.
• Articles must have a maximum length of 15,000 words, including notes, graphs, tables, figures and bibliography, and will not exceed 15 MG. The publication of papers exceeding these limits is at the discretion of the journal's Editorial Board.
• The text should be presented in "Arial" font, size 12 and single-spaced; in the notes the size should be 11 and single-spaced. Quoted texts of more than 5 lines must be indented between inverted commas, not in italics and single-spaced.
• Writing box. Top and bottom margin: 2.5 cm; right and left, 3 cm.
• The most common abbreviations, without italics, are: p./pp., f./ff., o.c., idem, ibid., ms./mss., leg./legs. In quotations from manuscripts or bundles: f. 25, f. 25v.
• The word or words in another language are always written in italics.
• The maximum number of illustrations (images, tables and charts) is 10. Images (with a resolution of 300 dpi), tables and graphs must be presented in the corresponding place (either in the body of the article or in a final annex), and all of them must indicate, in the caption, the appropriate data, citing authorship and origin, in a font size 10. Images that are not in the public domain must be licensed for publication by the author.
• The maximum file size shall not exceed 20MB
• The Editorial Board may reject an article, without the need for evaluation, when it considers that it does not meet the standards, both in terms of form and content, or does not fit the thematic profile of the publication.
• IMPORTANT: the author of a paper must personally upload it to the journal's platform by completing all the required steps.
• The main dissemination of the Journal is that authors cite articles, not their own, published in the Journal.
• Authors are recommended to deposit the data obtained from the research carried out for the preparation of their article in repositories of recognised prestige, specific to the discipline or of a generalist nature. In any case, it should be a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) repository, preferably open access.
