Instructions for authors
Reception and evaluation of articles
Historia Crítica only receives articles when the calls for papers are open. The reception dates may be found on the web site of the magazines: http://revistas.uniandes.edu.co/, academic and social networks and by e-mail.
The articles should be sent to the platform for the management of contents through the link found on the website of the Journal, and, in exceptional cases, by e-mail.
The texts sent to the Journal may not be simultaneously under evaluation by another publication.
Taking into account the amount of articles which the Journal receives for each call for papers, it does not publish another article by a previously published author until a period of two years has passed.
When an article arrives, its receipt is immediately acknowledged and the Editorial Team begins to determine whether it meets its basic requirements (norms for citations and formal presentation), as well as its relevance for a scientific publication (aim, theoretical framework, methodology, conclusions and bibliographies). When it does not meet that standard, it will be rejected.
The articles which pass the review by the Editorial Team are then scrutinized by a tool for detecting plagiarism. When a whole or partial plagiarism is detected, the text will not be sent for evaluation and the authors will be notified of the reason for the rejection.
The articles which pass the evaluation of the Editorial Team will be subjected to an arbitration procedure headed by two evaluators, at least one of whom should have an international affiliation. The evaluators are chosen on the basis of their academic career, knowledge and publications on the theme to be evaluated
During the evaluation, the names of both the authors and the evaluators will remain anonymous
The magazine will inform the authors of the results of the evaluation within a maximum term of six months. If it is longer, Historia Crítica will inform the authors
When the final version of the text is received, it is the Editorial Team which reviews the changes which have been made. If it sees that the author has not included the changes asked for, it may decide to not publish the article
The Editorial Team is responsible for the final decision to publish or reject an article, and the body which notifies the author of the decision by means of a written opinion
Editorial procedure
The articles which receive the best evaluations are reviewed by the Editorial Team and remitted to the authors so that they may undertake the indicated changes, within a previously agreed on time limit.
The texts which are approved within the framework of a thematic call for papers are published in the issue dedicated to that dossier. In the case of articles where there is a free choice of subject, the Editorial Team defines the issue in which it is published.
During the process of editing and the correction of style, the authors are consulted in order to resolve existing concerns. The Editorial Team reserves the right to make minor changes of style.
The Journal has procedures for diagraming the issue, in accordance with the design and layout pertaining to each publication.
In the process of evaluation and editing, the medium of communication with the authors is the platform for the management of contents, and in particular cases, e-mails.
The authors and/or title-holders of the accepted articles will authorize the use of the author´s property rights (reproduction, public communication, transformation and distribution) by means of a written consent to the inclusion of their article in a given number of the Journal (in both the digital and printed version), addressed to the Facultad de Ciencias Sociales (Social Sciences Faculty) of the Universidad de los Andes.
In the case of other contents, their use in the digital and printed version is also authorized by a written consent of the author about the author´s property rights.
When someone wants to republish an article from the Journal in another written or digital publication, an authorization is asked of the author and the Journal. The full data of the original publication should be included in the republication of the article.
Procedure for Reviews
The reviews are not associated with the issues of the Journal, do not bear a DOI and are found in the "Review" section of the website.
Historia Crítica proceeds to obtain reviews in two different ways. Furthermore, the authors may draft their reviews and send them by e-mail to the journal: hcritica@uniandes.edu.co.. On the other hand, the journal receives books at its postal address (Cra.1 No. 18 A- 10, Roberto Franco Building, Off. GB-417, Bogota, Colombia) following notification by email indicating the names of possible reviewers.
Reviews should be critical and deal with books relevant to the discipline of history, social sciences and human sciences that have been published within the past five years. The reviews are subjected to review by the Editorial Team and, if approved, to possible modifications. These documents are published in the web page.
General Presentation of Articles
Articles should be not exceed eleven thousand words in length (18-22 pages) including the abstract, footnotes, bibliography, charts, diagrams, illustrations, photographs and maps.

- The abstract, keywords and title should be presented in English as well as Spanish.
- Following the abstract, a list of three to six keywords should be added, preferably chosen from the UNESCO
Thesaurus (http://databases.unesco.org/thessp/) or, if not, from another recognized thesaurus the name of which should be noted for the journal. When a word is not found normalized in
Thesaurus, this fact should be pointed out.
- The author's name should not appear in the article.
- The author's data should be delivered in an attached document and include the name, address, telephone number, email address, research group (if applicable), academic degrees, institutional affiliation, current posts and publications in books and journals.
- It is necessary to indicate what research gave rise to the article, and whether or not it received funding.
- When the contents used have a DOI identification number, it must be included in the list of references.
General presentation of reviews
Reviews should be presented single-spaced, in Times New Roman font, type size 12, with 3 cm margins on letter size paper. The works cited in the text should be referenced at the foot of the page. The reviews should be no more than three pages long.
Editing Rules
- The subdivisions within the body of the text (chapters, subchapters, etc.) should be numbered with Arabic numerals, except for the introduction and the conclusion, which are not numbered.
- Terms in Latin and words from languages other than the language in which the article is written should appear in italics.
- The first time an abbreviation is used, it should be placed in parenthesis after the complete form; the abbreviation is used alone on subsequent occasions.
- Quotations over four lines long must be placed in long form, between quotation marks, single-spaced, in 11 point font and with reduced margins.
- Paragraphs should not be indented, but space should be left between them.
- Charts, diagrams, illustrations, photographs and maps should be referenced and explained in the text. They should also be titled, sequentially numbered and accompanied by their respective captions and source(s). They are placed immediately after the paragraph in which they are announced. In the initial version which is uploaded onto the administrator of contents, the images must be in low resolution. When the publication of the article is approved, those images should be sent in a jpg or tiff 300 dpi format and in 240 pixels at high resolution. If an item does not meet the standards of quality requested, Historia Crítica does not commit itself to publishing it. The author is responsible for delivering permission to publish the images that require it to the journal.
- Footnotes should be numbered with Arabic numerals.
- The bibliography should appear at the end of the article, written in Times New Roman font, type size 11, single-spaced and numbered. References are subdivided into primary sources (archives, periodical publications, primary printed documentation, interviews, etc.) and secondary sources. The complete references for all the works used in the article must be presented in alphabetical order in the bibliography.
References
Historia Crítica uses the Notes-Bibliography style of referencing as outlined in the latest edition of the
Chicago Manual of Style. In what follows, three abbreviations will be used that make it possible to see the differences between the form of citation in footnotes (N), abbreviated notes (NA), and in the bibliography (B).
