Author Guidelines

► SUBMISSIONS

Journal definition

A&P Continuidad provides two annual calls for articles. They are processed when submitted taking into account the reception deadline.

This editorial project is intended for the whole of the university community. The focus is on the Project of Architecture because of the fundamental role it plays in the comprehensive training of this community. It is published in paper and digital formats; its organization is based on thematic issues dealing with the perspectives of modern and contemporary masters so as to share a starting point leading to reflections, conversations and essays of specialists. It also encourages the submission of specific material grounded on original and unpublished articles which become adjusted to the thematic dossier.

The original language of the articles is Spanish. Nevertheless, Italian, English, Portuguese and French are accepted as original languages in order to improve the spread of this journal contents among several academic communities. In such cases, the original version should be accompanied by a Spanish translation. While the author’s original version is published on line, the Spanish version is published in both paper and digital formats.

 

Standard Document for the elaboration of articles and Basic Guide

In order to achieve a smooth performance of the different editorial processing stages, articles should be submitted replacing or filling the fields of the Standard Document (Download Standard Document); its general format meets the requirements of the Standards for authors (font type, margin, spacing, etc.). It should be taken into account that other formats or files will not be approved and that all fields should be filled unless otherwise specified. For further information about fields filling, Basic Guide and Comprehensive Standards for authors are provided.

 

Types of articles

Submitted articles should be the original and unpublished result of research (they should have been neither previously published nor submitted to any other assessment process). Although not required, YMRYD (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion) format is proposed. The following types and definitions which are drawn from the Bibliographical Index Publindex (2010) may be employed as reference points:

Review article: it is based on a concluded research in which the result of published or nonpublished research works -dealing with specific scientific or technological fields- are analysed, systematised and integrated. Its aim is to account for development advances and trends. It is characterised by the introduction of a thorough bibliographical review including at least 50 references.

Scientific and technological research article: it deals with a thorough account of the original results of a concluded research project. The usually employed structure has four key sections: introduction, methodology, results and conclusions.

Reflection article:  it deals with the results of a concluded research from an analytical, interpretative and critical approach to a specific theme.  

 

Title and authorship

Title should be concise, informative and, if possible, expressed in no more than 15 words. In case of the use of a subtitle, this is intended as a title complement; otherwise, text subdivisions should be introduced. The title of the article should be expressed in Spanish and English.   

Text authorship (maximum 2 authors) should provide full names, or, meet ORCID standards.  

ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier so that the person uses it with his/her name when dealing with research, study and innovation activities. It also provides open tools allowing transparent and reliable connections among researchers, their contributions and their affiliations. By means of the integration of research flows such as articles and research works introductions, ORDIC enables automated links between the researcher or professor and his/her professional activities, thereby ensuring the acknowledgement of his/her work.

Registration requires access to https://orcid.org/register entering full name, e-mail, password, account privacy setting and acceptance of use terms. The system sends a confirmation e-mail and provides the identifier. The whole of the registration process can be carried out in Spanish.   

Each author or authoress should enter his/her main institutional affiliation (e.g., research agency, university) and country; in the case of no institutional affiliation, “independent” and country. A brief biographical author note -expressed in no more than 100 words- specifying academic or professional background, and, if appropriate, relevant research areas and publications should be added. When applicable, name of the research group or postgraduate course and institutional framework in which the article to be published is carried out should be cited. A personal photograph and a contact e-mail should also be added.

 

Roles de autoría

La taxonomía de redes de colaboración académica (CRediT) permite proporcionar crédito a todos los roles que intervienen en un proceso de investigación y garantizar que estos sean visibilizados y reconocidos durante la comunicación de los resultados obtenidos. La definición de catorce (14) categorías permite, además, identificar estos roles de autoría como objetos de recuperación, por lo que serán sensibles a su clasificación y su posterior reutilización en el marco de otros procesos investigativos.

A&P Continuidad adhiere a la utilización de CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) para indicar en forma sistemática el tipo de contribución que realizó cada autor/a en el proceso de la investigación, disminuir las disputas entre los autorxs y facilitar la participación académica.

5. Curaduría de datos: Actividades de gestión relacionadas con anotar (producir metadatos), eliminar y mantener datos de investigación, en fases de uso y reúso (incluyendo la escritura de código de software, donde estas actividades son necesarias para interpretar los datos en sí mismos)
6. Escritura - revisión y edición: Preparación, creación y / o presentación del trabajo publicado por aquellos del grupo de investigación, específicamente, la revisión crítica, comentarios o revisiones, incluyendo las etapas previas o posteriores a la publicación
7. Investigación: Desarrollo de un proceso de investigación, específicamente, experimentos o recopilación de datos / pruebas
8. Metodología: Desarrollo o diseño de metodología, creación de modelos

12. Supervisión: Responsabilidad en la supervisión y liderazgo para la planificación y ejecución de la actividad de investigación, incluyendo las tutorías externas
13. Validación: Verificación, ya sea como parte de la actividad o por separado, de la replicación / reproducibilidad general de los resultados / experimentos y otros resultados de investigación
14. Visualización: Preparación, creación y / o presentación del trabajo publicado, específicamente, la visualización / presentación de datos

A&P Continuidad alienta a realizar la declaración de cada una de las autorías en el Documento modelo para la presentación de propuestas.
