Reference System

The Anuario Colombiano de Historia Social y de la Cultura follows the Chicago Manual of Style, regarding Notes and Bibliography.

“Primary Sources” include archive documents, periodicals (magazines and newspapers) printed documents (memories, journal accounts, diaries, laws, codes, reprinted documents, etc.), interviews, among others. Within this subsection, if applicable, others entitled “Archives”, “Periodicals”, “Printed Documents”, “Interviews” and “Others” should be created, in which all the primary sources cited should be grouped.

“Secondary Sources” include books, books chapters, articles in journals, thesis, papers, websites, and research documents (reports and research advances, unpublished texts, projects, among others).
