Articles submitted for publication must be original and they cannot have been previously sent to any other journal. Original manuscripts will pass through an editorial process with various stages. First, articles will be subjected to a preliminary evaluation carried out by the members of the Editorial Committee and the Director and/or Editor, who will determine the relevance of the publication. Once it is established that the article fulfills all theme-related requisites, as well as all formal requisites indicated in the guidelines, it will be sent to two external academic peers, who will anonymously determine whether the article should be a) Accepted for publication, b) Accepted with changes, c) Rejected.

In case of a discrepancy between the results, the text will be sent to a third referee, whose decision will define its publication, said decision will be reviewed by the Editorial Committee of the journal, which has the last word to approve or not the publication of the article. The evaluation also has a quantitative element, and that criterion generates an order of priority for acceptance or rejection. In this sense, the best evaluated texts in qualitative and quantitative terms will be selected. The journal publishes up to seven articles per issue. The results of the review process will be final in all cases. The authors will be free to look for publication in another journal after the verdict is given.

Afterwards, the selected authors must make a commitment to respond reasonably to the reviewers' comments, either incorporating the suggestions, observations, corrections, etc., and explaining the reasons why they do not accept some of them. In addition, incorporate the technical guidelines for writing and final presentation offered by the editor of the journal.

The Journal submits all articles to the plagiarism detection tool. When content duplication is totally or partially detected, without the corresponding citation, the article is rejected and the author is notified. As it is a peer-reviewed publication, the journal receives, reviews and sends the papers to the opinion of the Editorial Committee, on whose criteria their publication depends.

Articles should fulfill the following requirements:

1. The authors should send in separate document the following information: full name, author’s profession, academic titles (Ph.D., Masters, or other), institutional affiliation or place of current work, email address and, if the article being a product of research, information on the project to which it belongs (the name of the project and the institution which finances it), maximum 3 authors by article accepted.

2. The manuscript proposed that is sent, must not include any of the above data.

3. They should be written in Word format, in Times New Roman font, 12 points, double spaced, page numbered, and on letter-size pages.

4. They should have 2.5 cm margins on each side: top, bottom, left, and right.

5. The text can be the range between 7000 and 10000 words, including abstracts and keywords. The bibliography, photographs, maps, charts, illustrations and tables are counted separately. The footnotes should be done in Times New Roman 10 font, in 1.5 line spacing.

6.  The article should have an Abstract in Spanish, not longer than 200 words, with its respective translation in English. The Title of the text should also be presented in both languages. We require that this information be registered on the article submission form.

7. There should be between three and six key words which identify the article, in English as well as in Spanish. We require that both sets of words be included in the article submission form. The keywords should reflect the content of the document, which is why it is necessary that they indicate the precise themes of the article, recovering the areas of knowledge in which the article is found, and the main concepts. It is recommended that the author (or authors) review(s) the terms and hierarchies established on the bibliographical lists (THESAURUS), and that he/she/they check that the title, abstracts, and keywords match.

8. The article must be written in a style which is comprehensible for audiences from different academic disciplines.

9. HiSTOReLo uses the author-date style format of the Chicago Manual of Style for presenting citations and references included in the article. The authors should keep in mind the details on punctuation (commas, periods, colons, parenthesis, etecetera.) which the style demands, as well as the information it requires. The bibliographical list should include the references which have been cited within the text (to a 1:1ratio), numbered, and in alphabetical order. The examples which show the differences between the form for citing within the text (T), and the form for citing on the references list (R), are presented in the following examples:

Tables and references should be presented while taking the following indications into account:

Tables:

It is recommended not to use a large number of tables. Each table should be presented on a separate page at the end of the text and should have the following heading:

Table 1. Title of the table

The numbering of the tables should be consecutive. It is necessary to indicate within the text the spot where each table should be placed. This instruction is presented in parenthesis in the following way:

{Insert Table 1 here}

Figures:

A moderate use of tables is also recommended. The information which is presented in the tables and the figures should not be the same. The figures should be clear and legible. Color figures are not acceptable. These should be presented on a separate page at the end of the text and should have the following heading:

Figure 1. Title of the figure

The numbering of the figures should be consecutive. It is necessary to indicate within the text the spot where the each figure should be placed. This instruction is presented in parenthesis in the following way:

                                        {Insert Figure 1 here}

If the authors want to highlight words or phrases in the text, they should use cursive.

When acronyms or abbreviations are used, first note the complete equivalency followed by the corresponding acronym or abbreviation, and then use just the respective acronym or abbreviation.

When transcribed verbatim texts of more than three lines should be in Times New Roman size 10 inch and run a text into the text block above.

Recommendations

If an author is repeated in the list of references, from the second reference the name of this must be repeated, and they must be organized by year in ascending order.

If there are two references within the text, they must be separated with a semicolon:

T: (Mill 1996; Melo 1989, 40)

If there are several references to the same author, they are separated with commas, and if they have pages, they are separated with a semicolon:

T: (Foucault 1975, 1976; Mill 1996)

T: (Foucault 1975, 128; 1976, 58; Mill 1996)

If there is an author with two or more published works from the same year, distinguish with letter a, b, c, etc.:

T: (Brown 1994a, 80; 1994b)

If words or phrases are to be highlighted in the text, use italics and specify if it is the emphasis of the original or the author.

When acronyms or abbreviations are used, first note the complete equivalence followed by the corresponding acronym or abbreviation in parentheses, and then use only the respective acronym or abbreviation.

When texts of more than three lines are transcribed literally, it must be done in 11 point Times New Roman font, with an indentation of 1 cm only on the left side and space and a half spacing. It is especially recommended for non-printed primary sources and to reference the original source with a footnote.

In case of intervening in the transcription, three ellipsis must be marked in square brackets, as follows: [...], before or after the text.

The hyphen in the body of the text must be the length (-).

References to primary sources in footnotes, which are repeated consecutively, should not be replaced by the word “ibid”, instead the full reference should be listed. In no case is op. cit., ibid. or ibidem.
