Journal definition

A&P Continuidad provides two annual calls for articles. They are processed when submitted taking into account the reception deadline. In addition to this format, the journal features the Free Topics section, which remains open throughout the year.

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. Published in print and digital format up to issue 15 and subsequently in digital format only, 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 It also encourages the submission of specific material grounded on original and unpublished articles which become part of the thematic dossier.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. The version in the author’s original language is published in PDF format, while the Spanish version is published in all formats.

Standard Document for the elaboration of articles

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, 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Submitted articles should be the original and unpublished result of research (they should have been neither previously published nor submitted to any other assessment process).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 3 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.

Autorship roles

The Collaborative Scholarly Networks Taxonomy (CRediT) allows for credit to be given to all roles involved in a research process and ensures that they are made visible and recognized during the communication of the results obtained. The definition of fourteen (14) categories also allows for the identification of these authorship roles as objects of retrieval, making them susceptible to classification and subsequent reuse within the framework of other research processes.

A&P Continuidad adheres to the use of CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) to systematically indicate the type of contribution each author made to the research process, reduce disputes between authors, and facilitate academic participation.

The fourteen roles defined by the taxonomy are:

1. Project administration: Management and coordination responsibility for the research activity planning and execution.
2. Funding acquisition - Acquisition of the financial support for the project leading to this publication.
3. Formal analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data
4. Conceptualization: Ideas; formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims
5. Data curation – Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data and maintain research data (including software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later re-use.
6. Writing - Review & Editing: Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work by those from the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary or revision – including pre-or postpublication stages
7. Investigation: Conducting a research and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments, or data/evidence collection
8. Methodology: Development or design of methodology; creation of models
9. Resources: Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources, or other analysis tools
10. Writing - Original Draft: Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing the initial draft (including substantive translation)
11. Software: Programming, software development; designing computer programs; implementation of the computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components
12. Supervision: Oversight and leadership responsibility for the research activity planning and execution, including mentorship external to the core team
13. Validation: Verification, whether as a part of the activity or separate, of the overall replication/ reproducibility of results/experiments and other research outputs
14. Visualization: Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically visualization/ data presentation

A&P Continuidad encourages each author to declare their authorship in the Standard Document for Submitting Proposals.

Authors submitting a work should keep in mind that the document must have been read and approved by all signatories, and each must agree to its submission to the journal.

For further information, we suggest consulting the Authorship Roles Declaration Guide.

Abstract and key words

The abstract -which is introduced in Spanish and English- should synthetize the objectives of the work, the employed methodology and the main conclusions emphasizing the original contributions. It should be expressed in 150 to 200 words. 3 to 5 key words should be included in Spanish and English for the thematic classification of the article. Words drawn from UNESCO Thesaurus (Available on: http://databases.unesco.otg/thessp/) or Vitruvius Network of Buenos Aires’ Libraries of Architecture (Available on: http://vocabularyserver.com/vitruvio/) are recommended.

Article extent may have a minimum of 3,000 words and a maximum of 6,000 words including main text, notes and bibliographical references.

  

Images, figures and graphs

Images -8 to 10 ones for each article- should have a 300 dpi colour definition (being 13 x 18 the minimum size). 300 dpi should be real, that is, not subjected to edition programs. Images should be sent within the text -as location references-, and, in separate jpg or tiff files. If it is necessary for the design, the Editorial Secretary will ask authors for additional images. The Secretary also reserves the right to reduce the number of images after agreeing this with the author or authoress.     

When preparing tables, authors are requested to also submit the files containing the editable text to facilitate subsequent editing and design stages.

Figures (graphs, diagrams, illustrations, plans, maps or photographs) and tables should be listed and accompanied by a title or epigraph expressed in no more than 15 words as well as source information.

Example
