INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

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

The Anuario de Historia Regional y de las Fronteras publishes original articles containing the original empirical research, to present theoretical innovations on debates in historical performance or develop historiographical balances; reviews and bibliographical essays, translations of articles published abroad in languages other than Spanish and transcripts of archival sources with an explanatory introduction are also published.

The Journal reserves the copyright, so, if an item you want to be included later in another publication, the data shall be clearly identified in the original publication in the Yearbook.

Upon receipt of an article, the editorial board evaluates if it meets the requirements outlined below, as well as their relevance to be included in a publication of historical character. All contributions are subject to evaluation. If there are comments by the evaluators, the author must do the suggested changes or make the adjustments it deems necessary for overcoming the difficulties indicated. The authors will have a maximum of fifteen (15) days to deliver the final version of their texts. The editorial committee reserves the final say on the publication of articles and the issue in which they will be published, said information will be notified to the author as soon as it is known. That date shall be effective provided the author submits the documentation that is required within the indicated term. The journal reserves the right to make style editing. Both during the evaluation process and during the editing process, email is the preferred means of communication with the authors. The authors will receive two copies of the issue in which had their article published.

Articles should be sent to the editor of the Yearbook of Regional History of Universidad Industrial de Santander by email, in Word format, to any of these addresses: anuario@uis.edu.co or ahistoriauis@gmail.com

The author's information should be listed in an attachment and include his or her name, address, telephone number, email address, academic degrees, institutional membership, current positions, ORCID code, measurement of H5 to Google scholar, ongoing studies and publications in books and journals. It is also useful to indicate, if relevant, which research the resulting article comes from and how it was funded.

Articles should not exceed 20 pages, including footnotes. They should be written in Times New Roman size 12, single spaced, and in letter size paper. Footnotes should be in Times New Roman size 10, single spaced. The bibliography, charts, graphs, illustrations, photographs and maps are not included.

You must enclose a 200-word abstract in Spanish and English and a list of three to six keywords that fit the Unesco Thesaurus Se (http://databases.unesco.org/thessp/).
