Submission Preparation Checklist

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.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor has it been submitted to any other journal (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect format.
  • Wherever possible, URLs are provided for references.
  • The text is 1.5 spaced; 12-point font size; italics are used instead of underlining (except in URLs); and all graphics and tables are integrated into their appropriate positions within the text instead of being appended at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which appear in About the journal.

Author Guidelines

Papers will be submitted through this platform, where authors will register and/or enter from the Make a Submission button.

Use the APA 7th edition standards as a model and guide for bibliographic references. A detailed description can be found at: https://bit.ly/3uxGgX5.

Articles that do not use APA 7 standards will not be accepted.

Papers will be presented in *.doc, *.docx, *odt or *.rtf format. The text body will be written in Verdana font, size 12 and 1.5 line spacing, while the notes will be in 10-point font with single line spacing. Margins will be the default ones. There is no extra spacing between paragraphs. Tables and images should be sent both in the text body and separately in .jpeg or .png format.

Some recommendations to consider when submitting your paper:

-Use the template of the corresponding section to present your work (submissions that do not comply with this condition will not be accepted).

-Carry out the submission process on a computer (not from a cell phone or tablet).

-To enter your ORCID identifier, you should not copy the URL from the browser bar but rather the complete web address that appears on the left side of the screen of your user site (see the field highlighted in red in the image). 

-Complete the collaboration roles based on the CRediT taxonomy (NISO) at the end of the article. In this way, you can make visible the work of those who wrote with you or collaborated at some stage of your project or writing the article. In the latter case, the names should appear in the acknowledgments.

-Use of the Spanish and English version of the TaDiRAH taxonomy for the inclusion of keywords.

Research Articles

 

Research articles: those that contain results of scientific research and that represent an original contribution to general or regional knowledge. These articles seek to discuss a hypothesis or make, from a theoretical point of view, a novel contribution to the topic. Maximum 10,000 words.

Data-Articles

Descriptions of accessible and reusable research data sets along with related information or metadata on the research process, methods and data collection considerations, formats, and specific conditions. Attention is recommended to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and CARE (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, Ethics) principles. They can be small data sets in csv formats, etc. These data do not strictly have to belong to research projects but can be part of more experimental activities and/or account for negative results. The data should be accessible from an institutional or general repository or a specific one, such as our Zenodo Digital Humanities repository.

DH in action

 

Use cases in Digital Humanities. It can be the description of a specific scenario or use case where a certain corpus or example is worked with an open or free software or tool. It can be a pedagogical experience with some method, programming or markup language, or with some software or tool in the field of Digital Humanities. In no case will cases worked with proprietary software be published, as they hinder peer review and the possibility of replicating the scenario by readers. Maximum 8,000 words.

Article Translations

Translations of scientific or informative articles, and blog posts of interest to the digital humanist community. Special emphasis will be given to translations into English, in order to give visibility to research conducted in countries that use Spanish for scientific communication outside of Latin America. You can use the article template for your translation, including your name in the header with the translation role. Translations do not include an abstract, only retaining that of the work to be translated if it has one.
