As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

Guidelines for Contributors

The editorial structure of Antropología Cuadernos de Investigación includes the following sections: Presentation, Theme, Proposals, Documents and Testimonies, Ethnographies, Scientific and Academic Notes, Obituaries and Book Reviews.

The articles sent to Antropología Cuadernos de Investigación must be original, should not be previously published in another printed or electronic medium and they must not be simultaneously submitted to another journal or publisher.

The journal has two annual calls for the submission of manuscripts: December-May and Jun-November.

 

Peer Review Process

Articles will be evaluated by the Editorial Committee and two reviewers external to the institution (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador), who will reply to the author regarding the content of the manuscript. In the process of evaluation, the author's and evaluator's names will be anonymous. The Editorial Committee will make the final decision whether to publish the article.  The process of evaluation and publication takes six months minimum.

The manuscript can be accepted with or without modifications. In the first case, the article will be returned to the author with observations, to be re-submitted to the Editorial Committee. The author should make the changes that have been requested and justify those which under their criteria will not be considered. The Editorial Committee will ultimately accept or reject the modifications and the publication of the article. The author will be notified of the receipt, approval or rejection of the text.

Submission of Manuscripts

Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively through the Open Journal System (OJS), accessed via the submission button located in the upper-right corner of the page.

Submissions sent by email will not be accepted under any circumstances.
