APA 7th edition guidelines are used for publications.
Instructions for Manuscript Submission
Before submitting your manuscript, it is essential that authors thoroughly review whether the content of their article aligns with the thematic areas and editorial focus of the journal. Additionally, ensure that the manuscript is original and unpublished, meaning it has not been previously published nor is it being simultaneously considered by another journal or publisher.
Step 1: Manuscript Preparation
Authors interested in submitting their work must use the templates provided by the journal.
Step 2: Author Information
In the author template, fill in the personal information fields for each author: first name, last name, nationality, country of birth, date of birth, ID number and type, institutional affiliation, education level, phone/mobile number, email (institutional and/or personal), and ORCID link.
It is essential to complete this information for each author of the scientific document. If an ORCID profile is not available, authors are encouraged to create one.
Provide detailed information about the associated research using the specific format. Include fields such as project name, objective, summary, project type, start and end dates, justification, description of needs, impact, goals, duration, total project value, and total executed value.
If your manuscript includes images and tables, they must be attached separately in a RAR file. Ensure that these images and tables maintain optimal resolution to guarantee quality reproduction. Also, name them according to their order of appearance (e.g., Figure 1, Table 1). This procedure will speed up the editorial process and ensure optimal visual presentation in the final publication.
Citations and references should be managed using a reference manager such as Mendeley or Zotero, or the Word reference tool. Additionally, a file with the references must be provided in BibTeX format or another format recognized by the mentioned reference managers. This ensures a more rigorous bibliographic review and facilitates proper management and verification of the sources used.
The journal uses Turnitin to check manuscript similarity, assessing originality and academic integrity. Authors must ensure that their work meets the established criteria, maintaining a similarity score below 17%. Before submitting your manuscript, it is crucial to thoroughly review it to avoid undesired similarities and to properly use citations and references. Authors are encouraged to use text verification tools for a preliminary check. During the editorial process, Turnitin reports are reviewed, and manuscripts with more than 17% similarity will be thoroughly evaluated.
The article can be submitted through the Open Journal System platform, after completing the corresponding registration. Direct submission to the following email address is also accepted: francisco.arencibia@unipamplona.edu.co.
The editorial committee will inform you about the status of your article and the observations made by the reviewers for its possible publication.
