Editorial Policy
Historia Crítica (Hist. Crit.) is an indexed publication of a periodical nature which adheres to
international standards of quality, positioning, periodicity and availability on line. The journal
publish unpublished articles in the eld of History which contribute to the study of the Social and
Human Sciences, in order to obtain a better understanding of the social, political, economic,
geographical and cultural surroundings of the past and present. In that regard, it seeks to
strengthen the investigation of such topics in order to establish dialogues between the national
and international academic community. The journal is a quarterly publication (January-March, April-
June, July-September and October-December) that comes out at the beginning of each of the
periods indicated, created in 1989 and funded by the School of Social Sciences of the Universidad
de los Andes (Colombia). The printed version has a cost and may be acquired at speci c outlets.

The Journal publishes unpublished articles in Spanish, English and Portuguese. In exceptional
cases, it includes translations of articles which have previously been published in languages other
than those speci ed above, when their relevance to the discussions and problems it deals with are
acknowledged. All of the published articles have a DOI identi cation number, which facilitates the
drafting of bibliographical references, the search for articles on the web and the cross-referencing
of citations among di erent repositories. The DOI should be cited by the authors who use the
contents of the Journal.

The Journal counts on an Editorial Team and an Editorial Council. The Editorial Team is responsible
for the operational procedures of the Journal, decisions about the contents to be published,
proposing themes for monographic issues, meeting quality standards, indexing procedures and
the dissemination of the journal's contents. The Editorial Team is also responsible for choosing and
inviting the academics who make up the Editorial Council and periodically overseeing the turnover
of some of its members, taking into account the time they have served on the Council, the bodies
of knowledge which should be strengthened, the inclusion of new institutions and their
participation in assessing the Historia Crítica.

The Editorial Council proposes guidelines for de ning the editorial policies of the Journal,
establishes the themes for the dossier, oversees its compliance with national and international
quality standards, holds debates about the sections which house the contents of the Revista and
proposes ways of circulating, disseminating and indexing the Journal.

Norms for authors

Reception and evaluation of articles

Historia Crítica only receives articles when the calls for papers are open. The reception dates
may be found on the web site of the journals: http://revistas.uniandes.edu.co/, academic and
social networks and by e-mail.
The articles should be sent to the platform for the management of contents through the link
found on the website of the Journal, and, in exceptional cases, by e-mail.
The texts sent to the Journal may not be simultaneously under evaluation by another
publication.
Taking into account the amount of articles which the Journal receives for each call for papers,
it does not publish another article by a previously published author until a period of two years
has passed.
When an article arrives, its receipt is immediately acknowledged and the Editorial Team
begins to determine whether it meets its basic requirements (norms for citations and formal
presentation), as well as its relevance for a scienti c publication (aim, theoretical framework,
methodology, conclusions and bibliographies). When it does not meet that standard, it will be
rejected.
The articles which pass the review by the Editorial Team are then scrutinized by a tool for
detecting plagiarism. When a whole or partial plagiarism is detected, the text will not be sent
for evaluation and the authors will be noti ed of the reason for the rejection.
The articles which pass the evaluation of the Editorial Team will be subjected to an arbitration
procedure headed by two evaluators, at least one of whom should have an international
a liation. The evaluators are chosen on the basis of their academic career, knowledge and
publications on the theme to be evaluated.
During the evaluation, the names of both the authors and the evaluators will remain
anonymous.
The journal will inform the authors of the results of the evaluation within a maximum term of
six months. If it is longer, Historia Crítica will inform the authors.
When the nal version of the text is received, it is the Editorial Team which reviews the
changes which have been made. If it sees that the author has not included the changes asked
for, it may decide to not publish the article.
The Editorial Team is responsible for the nal decision to publish or reject an article, and the
body which noti es the author of the decision by means of a written opinion.

Editorial procedure

The articles which receive the best evaluations are reviewed by the Editorial Team and
remitted to the authors so that they may undertake the indicated changes, within a previously
agreed on time limit.
The texts which are approved within the framework of a thematic call for papers are
published in the issue dedicated to that dossier. In the case of articles where there is a free
choice of subject, the Editorial Team de nes the issue in which it is published.

During the process of editing and the correction of style, the authors are consulted in order to
resolve existing concerns. The Editorial Team reserves the right to make minor changes of
style.
The Journal has procedures for diagraming the issue, in accordance with the design and
layout pertaining to each publication.
In the process of evaluation and editing, the medium of communication with the authors is
the platform for the management of contents, and in particular cases, e-mails.
The authors of and/or holders of rights to articles and multimedia les (photographies, audio
and videos) that are accepted must authorize the use of the author’s economic rights
(reproduction, public communication, transformation and distribution) to the Universidad de
los Andes/ School of Social Sciences in order to include their contents in the Journal
(electronic version and print version).
When someone wants to republish an article from the Journal in another written or digital
publication, an authorization is asked of the author and the Journal. The full data of the
original publication should be included in the republication of the article.

Procedure with reviews

The reviews are not associated with the issues of the Journal, do not bear a DOI and are found in
the “Review” section of the website.

Historia Crítica proceeds to obtain reviews in two di erent ways. Furthermore, the authors may
draft their reviews and send them by e-mail to the journal: hcritica@uniandes.edu.co. On the other
hand, the journal receives books at its postal address (Cra.1 No. 18 A- 10, Roberto Franco Building,
O . GB-417, Bogota, Colombia) following noti cation by email indicating the names of possible
reviewers.

Reviews should be critical and deal with books relevant to the discipline of history, social sciences
and human sciences that have been published within the past ve years. The reviews are subjected
to review by the Editorial Team and, if approved, to possible modi cations. These documents are
published in the web page of  the Journal.

contents, the images must be in low resolution. When the publication of the article is
approved, those images should be sent in a jpg or ti 300 dpi format and in 240 pixels at high
resolution. If an item does not meet the standards of quality requested, Historia Crítica does
not commit itself to publishing it. The author is responsible for delivering permission to
publish the images that require it to the journal.
