Author Guidelines

Publication rules for original articles


I. Methodological Perspectives is a magazine that adheres to the continuous publication modality, open to those who wish to send articles, reviews and critical studies, as well as to those who wish to answer criticizable or debatable questions of the published articles. In this sense, the magazine is offered as a dialogue space for the presentation of various interpretations and perspectives, indicating the corresponding sources when necessary.


II. The collaborations are sent through the Open Journal System platform, which is the support of Methodological Perspectives in the Portal of Scientific Journals "Arturo Peña Lillo", of the National University of Lanús.


III. Academic articles with a maximum length of 10,000 words will be accepted, including footnotes, bibliography, charts, graphs and images. Articles must be accompanied by a title and abstract in Spanish and English (no more than 100 words), a brief curriculum reference of the author (no more than 50 words) and an email address. Authors may submit articles in Spanish, Portuguese and English. "Perspectives" will also be received, with a maximum length of 6,000 words, more essay texts with a title and abstract in Spanish and English. Other submissions to receive will be reviews of books that contain between 1000 and 1200 words and that deal with texts published in the last three years. Papers that refer to research reports that are considered relevant can be sent through Methodological Perspectives to “Workbooks” that will be published in the Dossier section of the journal.


IV. The proposed articles must be unpublished. The submission or delivery of a work to this journal implies that its author undertakes not to submit it simultaneously to the consideration of other publications.
