Author Guidelines

General considerations  

The articles that are submitted must be original and unpublished, and must not have any type of editorial commitment, nor must they be in the process of evaluation or editing simultaneously by another publication or entity.

The same author or group of authors cannot participate with two texts in the same editorial process.   

Opinions expressed in the articles are the sole responsibility of the authors.

About Authorship:

Articles should only be submitted for consideration to Ontare Journal once the list of authors includes all those who can legitimately claim authorship. Authors may not be included after the registration of the article in the editorial process.
As for exclusions, although they should not be made, in the event of any exclusion, it should be the same author to be excluded who sends a communication to the journal requesting his or her withdrawal as author of the article, explaining the reasons for the request.  

Typology

Articles submitted to Ontare Journal must fall into one of the following categories, taken from the specifications presented by Publindex (Minciencias): 

Scientific and technological research articles: Document that shows original results of a completed research project. The article must have the following structure: introduction, theoretical framework, methodology, results, discussion, conclusions, and references. 

Case report: Document that presents the results of a study on a single subject of analysis, in order to disseminate the technical and methodological experiences considered in a specific case. It should include a literature review on similar cases. 

Short article: Short document that evidences original results, either preliminary or partial, of a scientific or technological research. 

Review article: Document that results from analyzing, systematizing, and integrating the results of published or unpublished completed research on a given topic, in order to account for advances and development trends. It is characterized by a thorough literature review of at least 50 references.

About the structure of the article

  • Title.  It should be concise and describe the content of the article in a clear and precise way, so that the reader can easily identify the subject. It should not be too long. It should not be written in all capital letters.
  • Abstract.  It should be written in Spanish and should be between 200 and 250 words. If the article is written in English, the abstract should also be submitted in this language. It is a synthesis of the object of study, objectives, methodology, and the most relevant conclusions or findings. It should not include bibliographical references or footnotes.
  • Keywords.  They should include between six and ten items. They should be submitted in Spanish. 
  • Body of the article  As fundamental elements, it should include:

          *Introduction

          *Theoretical framework / Background

          *Materials and methods

          *Results and Discussion

          *Conclusions

          *References

 

 About the format of the article

  • Paper size: US letter (21.5 cm x 27.9 cm).
  • Margins: Top 2.5 cm, Bottom 2.5 cm, Left 2.5 cm, Right. 2.5 cm.
  • Font: Arial.
  • Font size: 12 points.
  • Line spacing: 1.5.
  • Columns: 1.
  • File format: Word.
  • o Length of the article: between 17 and 25 pages (not including the reference list).

 

About the nomenclature of titles and subtitles

Each section (from the Introduction onwards) and the subsections within, should be numbered and hierarchically arranged in differentiated levels as follows:: 

1. Title of the section

1.1 First level subtitle

1.1.1 Second level subtitle

1.1.1.1 Third level subtitle

 

About figures and tables

A figure is understood as all graphic material used within the article —images, photographs, diagrams, etc.—.

A table is understood as all statistical, numerical, or conceptual comparison information displayed in rows and columns.

Both figures and tables should be numbered consecutively, according to their order of appearance within the text —tables and figures with independent consecutive numbers—; they should have a title that briefly describes their content and the precise reference of the source from which they were obtained. The format for such information should be as follows:

                               Figure 1. Sistine Chapel

                               Source. Gombrich, 1950. (If taken from a source)

                              Source. Prepared by the author(s) (If created by the author/authors)/p>

There should not be an excessive use of these resources, therefore, it is important to include only the figures and tables that are strictly necessary, preferably no more than 5 in each case.

The texts in figures and tables should be perfectly legible, in the same language as the article, and should not use all capital letters.

The size of a figure or table should not exceed one page, taking into account the stipulated margins (Top 2.5 cm, Bottom 2.5 cm, Left 2.5 cm, Right. 2.5 cm.)

 

About footnotes

Footnotes should be solely of an explanatory nature. All data concerning bibliographical references should be included within the body of the text and recorded in the reference list.

 

About citation standards n

Ontare Journal uses an adaptation of the American Psychology Association (APA) as a standard for citation and referencing. It is therefore suggested to use the Ean University Citation and Referencing Manual as a specific guide, available at https://editorial.universidadean.edu.co/acceso-abierto/referencia_manual_apa.pdf

All texts and authors mentioned within the body of the text should be recorded in the reference list and all items that are recorded in the reference list should be included within the body of the text. Sources of figures and tables should also be recorded as such, in case they are not self-produced.

The reference list should be located at the end of the document and should be compiled in alphabetical order, by last name. If several publications by the same author are to be referenced, they should be organized in chronological order, by year of publication. When there are several publications by the same author whose publication date is the same year, they should be differentiated as follows:

                             López, J. (2018a). El significado de la cultura. Bogotá: Editorial 123.

                             López, J. (2018b). El significado de la gestión cultural. Bogotá: Editorial 123.

 

In the case of articles in scientific and academic journals, DOI is to be included, when available.

In the case of digital sources, URL should be provided, prior verification of its proper working order.
