Author Guidelines

Plan. Research in graphic design and image studies suggests its authors to take into account the following indications:

1. Author identification data

Full name and surnames: in the case of authors whose names include paternal and maternal surnames, they must be joined by a hyphen and there must be no blank spaces between them.

Use of personal identifiers:

• Institutional affiliation (* Required)
• Email: institutional preference (* Required)
• OrcID (* Obligatory) CV-LAC (or the national curriculum system corresponding to the authors' country: SNI (Mexico), CONICET (Argentina), etc ...)
• Scopus ID Google Scholar Redalyc ID
• Research Gate
• Academia.edu

2. Typology of articles to be published

Research articles: Document that presents, in detail, the original results of research projects.

✔ Open shipments ✔ Indexed ✔ Peer reviewed

Reflection articles: Document that presents the finished research results from an analytical, interpretative or critical perspective, by the author, on a specific topic, a theoretical or practical problem, resorting to original sources.

✔ Open shipments ✔ Indexed ✔ Peer reviewed

Review articles: Document that examines a specific topic in a detailed, selective and critical way through a previously selected and published bibliography, placing it in perspective. In this sense they gather, analyze and discuss the important and elementary information that concerns a research problem that they want to tackle. For this, it identifies what is known about the subject, what has been investigated, what outstanding advances the subject has had in a given period of time and what elements should be addressed. It is characterized by the presentation of a careful reflection of at least 50 bibliographic references

✔ Open shipments ✔ Indexed ✔ Peer reviewed

Reviews: Informative text which offers a critical approach to specialized and updated books on graphic design issues published in the last three (3) years. The texts are brief, describe, inform and value a work chosen by the author. They have a minimum length of four (4) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages (including bibliographic references, footnotes and others).

3. Format of articles

Plan. Research in graphic design and image studies adopts the normalization of citations and reference under the indications of the American Psychological Association (APA-), in its latest edition.

• The texts must be in Spanish. The abstract, as well as the title and keywords, must be translated into English. The translation must be done after authorization and final corrections of the Spanish version. Include Portuguese translation.

Keep in mind for the abstract to write a synthesis, of maximum 200 words, about the article being submitted, which should offer the reader a complete overview of the text; the possibility of making a judgment regarding its content and deciding its relevance. The abstract should contain the following information: objective, or purpose of the research; justification, the research problem and its importance; methodology, the point of view from which the research was approached and what methodological tools (methods, techniques) were used. Finish with a brief description of the theoretical and methodological guidelines used and the conclusions. Avoid citing bibliographic references. For keywords the limit is minimum three (3) and maximum (6).

• Each paragraph must begin with an indentation of one (1) centimeter.

The document must be anonymous, without the name of the author or any other information that reveals their identity. In a separate document, you must send a review that includes the full title of the document, and in a maximum of 100 words, the name of the author, the last academic title, the university where the title was obtained, the employment affiliation, publications in books and magazines. (if you have) and some contact email. In addition, you must specify if the document is a research article, reflection, review, review, etc.

The subdivisions in the body of text must be done by means of titles and subtitles. Subtitles must have an Arabic numeral that does not exceed the third level.

• Words in another language not incorporated into Spanish must appear in italics or italics.
• The meaning of the acronyms must be specified from the first moment of its mention and (in parentheses) the abbreviation; for example: United Nations (UN). Once this clarification is made, the author can continue referring from the acronym, throughout the text. Acronyms of four letters or less must be capitalized (NGO, HR, OEA, etc.) and the first letter must be capitalized when the initials are five letters or more (Cepal, Flacso, etc.).
• The images, tables, charts, graphs, illustrations, photographs and maps must be integrated in digital format (.jpg) and have at least 300 dpi (Dots Per Inch / two dots per inch). It is essential to present them in editable format. Except for the tables, the aforementioned is titled 'FIGURE' and they are numbered consecutively. A figure is a material that clarifies data visually and quickly in place of letters and other orthographic symbols. Tables (those that present repetitive information in a legible way so that the reader can observe them, study them and understand the purpose that the author wants to convey) must be titled as 'TABLE'.
• If they are to be used, the following format is recommended for proper identification and numbering, with Times New Roman font, size 10 pt, centered.

• For images, graphs, photographs, illustrations and maps: FIGURE 00. “Name”. Source: Author, “name” (place, year). 2. For tables: TABLE 00. “Name” - Source: Author. Name, year. These should be delivered in grayscale.

• Textual citations that exceed forty words must be written in single space (1 cm), without quotation marks, with the font size eleven (11) and with an indentation of one (1) centimeter on the left margin.
  Footnotes must be recorded in Arabic numerals, Times New Roman font, size 11, single spaced (1 cm). Footnotes are used to clarify, comment on an aspect throughout the article or to give useful information.

• Make an inventory of the bibliographic or digital sources consulted in alphabetical order. Examples are briefly presented below:

  Newspaper publication

  Periodical publications are those that appear with some regularity: newspapers, magazines, illustrated bulletins and other similar ones: Author, A. A., Author, E. E. & Author, C. C. (Year of publication). Article title. Scientific journal title (in italics), volume (without using abbreviations) and in italics (number in parentheses without using abbreviations), pages without using abbreviations.

  Example: Daza-Orozco, C. (2017). Visual notes to understand childhood in Colombian cinema. Out of Field Film Magazine, 1 (4), 56-69.

  Non-periodic publications

  Non-periodical publications are those that are published separately: books, reports, brochures, certain monographs, manuals and audiovisual media: Author, A. A. (Year of publication). Work title. Editorial.

  Example: García, O. (2018). Visual immanence. The image and the text. Reflections between the comic and the graphic novel. San Mateo University Foundation.

  Chapter of a book

  Author, A. A. & Author, E. E. (Year of publication). Chapter title. In A. Editor, E. Editor & C. Editor (Eds.), Title of the work. (pp. xxx-xxx). Editorial.

  Electronic documents

  To reference documents that come from the Internet, various aspects are considered, for example:

  A web page: Dewey, R. A. (2002). Psych Web by Russ Dewey. Retrieved January 25, 2003. Available at http://www.psywww.com.

  An article from an electronic journal: Daza, C. (2014). Alienation dresses in fashion. Sociological and cinematographic criticism. Review the thinking eye. University of Guadalajara. ISSN 2007-4999. Retrieved in March, 2015. Available at http://www.elojoquepiensa.net.

  Document without the name of the author: Title of the document. (Year of publication). Document title. Pages without using abbreviations.

  Example: The epistemology of Michel Foucault. (1990). Michel Foucault's epistemology. Pages 1-15.
