Author Guidelines

Papers must be uploaded to the journal's website through the system in order to be considered for publication. If you have not yet done so, you must register by entering the following address: (http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/user/register). Once registered, you may then complete the form by checking the "author" box at the end of the form.

Once registered, the author must log in with their username and password and upload their contribution from their personal area in the appropriate format. To do so, click on "New Submission" and follow the steps as indicated on the site. The file must be uploaded in the language in which it is written. Please complete correctly all the metadata (title and subtitle, abstracts and keywords) in the three languages requested. It should be noted that keywords must be entered individually.

The Editorial Committee will, in all cases, verify that the articles submitted comply with the objectives and editorial guidelines of the journal, the proposal of the issue, and the current publication rules.

Papers that do not comply with the established guidelines and standards of the journal will not be considered for evaluation. The publication of papers will be subject to a process of external evaluation by the Editorial Committee and double-blind peers, ensuring the anonymity of authors and evaluators.

The format for papers to be submitted is as follows:

The submission must be in A4 format, with a minimum margin of 2.5 cm on all sides, double spaced, and in Times New Roman 12 pt. font. It is particularly recommended that the "articles" template provided by the journal be used for this purpose (downloadable here and see the instructions here). This template defines specific formats and styles for titles, subtitles, quotations, and other elements. It is recommended that the character and paragraph styles defined in the template be applied when using this template.

The maximum length for articles is 8,500 words, including notes, acknowledgements, and bibliography.

Book reviews should not exceed 1,100 words, including the title and notes.

The first part of the document to be sent (cover page) should contain the title of the article in bold and centered. If it has a subtitle, it should be below the main title, also centered. The title and subtitle together should have a maximum of 20 words or 130 characters with spaces.

It is imperative that footnotes are not placed in the main title and/or subtitle, as these will be lost in the indexing process.

The author(s) should be identified in the left margin, below the titles, without indentation. The next line should contain the author's institutional affiliation, which should be provided in accordance with the institution's own regulations. Only those institutions from which the work arises or has been financed should be included. The city and country should then be provided. The digital identifier ORCID or other, and the author's email address should be included below the institutional affiliation.

- First Name Main Surname (First Name Last Name Main Surname in case of double surname)
- Institution, City, Country

- (Digital Identifier)

- E-mail address

It is requested to take into account the concordance with the metadata uploaded in your identification record.

Runa is an Open Access publication and echoes Law No. 26,899 on the Creation of Institutional Digital Repositories and its regulations, and therefore requests national authors to respect the following article of said law:

Article 4.5: Acknowledgement to institutions and agencies In each publication, the institutional affiliation should be declared in a standardized form, as indicated by the institutions and agencies, preferably the parts of the hierarchy should be listed from highest to lowest, in its developed form and separated with a period followed by a space. In case of having multiple affiliations, each of them shall be indicated in separate instances.

In turn, the following legend must be included in the language of the publication: "This document is the result of funding granted by the National State, therefore it is subject to compliance with Law No. 26,899." This legend should mention the name(s) of the agency(ies) that have funded the research project and the minimum data that allow its identification. The following syntax should be used: Funding Agency. Financing Program or Fund. Project Code. The country of the funding agency, the province of the funding agency, and the name of the project should be included on the cover page.

Acknowledgements and funding data, if any, should also be included on this page. If the article is accepted, the journal will place them where appropriate in the layout process.

Finally, a brief biographical sketch (no more than fifty words) of the author(s) should be included. This should describe the last degree obtained, other institutions and/or dedications that should be mentioned.

In the second part of the file (separated by a page break), the title should begin anew, centered and in bold typeface. The cover page, which should be provided in the original language of the article and its corresponding translations into English and Portuguese or spain, as well as the abstracts, should also be included. No reference to the authors should be included on this page.

It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure the anonymity of their authorship in the body text of the article and in the bibliographical references. In these instances, the authors' name(s) and/or authorship should be replaced with "author" in the bibliographical references. It is recommended to use a neutral wording in the body of the article in those paragraphs that make references to the author(s), as this will help to avoid any information that might make the identification of the author(s) possible.

Abstracts should not exceed 150 words and should be presented in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. The formality of the standards for abstracts of scientific articles should be respected and maintained, and it is recommended that the abstract consist of only one paragraph. It is not appropriate to include footnotes or bibliographical references in the abstracts; they should be avoided since in the indexing process, abstracts are separated from the main body of the text, losing such references.

Five (5) keywords should be sent under each abstract, according to the language of the abstract (Spanish, English, Portuguese). They should be written in upper/lower case and separated by a semicolon. For example: Keywords: Mapuche people; Development policy; Poverty; Stigma; Neuquén.

Runa adopts the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition as the formal and standardized basis for citations and references. Below is a brief description of some basic generalities related to the most common citations and references. However, if in doubt about the correct form of citation in a particular case, it is recommended to consult one of the basic official manuals used by various universities and/or publishers that adopt this standard, or otherwise you can do so directly on the APA Style website.

Footnotes. Footnotes should be used as sparingly as possible, only to provide essential and specific information that cannot be included in the main text. They should not be used in the main title and subtitle of the article, nor in abstracts, as they will be lost in indexing. They should not be used in the bibliography (reference in the body of the text and then in the bibliography). Footnotes should be inserted using the appropriate command in the word processor. If the footnote number is at the end of a sentence or next to a punctuation mark, it should always be placed after the punctuation mark.

Images. Images or graphic figures (tables, charts, maps, graphs, diagrams, photographs, and illustrations) that are part of the text should be presented as follows:

Image files. They must be uploaded separately from the main article in a graphic file format such as .jpg, .tiff, or SGV, with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. To upload them, use the "Upload Additional Files" feature in the submission area of the OJS platform.

A text file (doc, odt or rtf) should also be attached, in which the images should be included and described (with a clear nomenclature such as Figure 1, Figure 2..., Table 1, Table 2...), indicating their position in the main text and the headings corresponding to each one. All these supplementary files can also be sent to the journal's e-mail address: runa.revista@gmail.com.

Relationship between text and graphics. All graphic elements appearing in the text must be correctly identified by numbering and caption. They must be cited or referenced in the text in a coherent and contextual manner. Numbering should be consecutive and in order of appearance, with Arabic numerals between brackets and in lower case: example (Figure 1).

The titles of graphic elements should begin with the type and number of the graphic element in italics or a period followed by the title or name (e.g. Figure 1. Representative photo...).

Citations

Forms of citation

Runa assumes the citation form "Bibliographical References", i.e. only the bibliography or citation of works and texts used in the manuscript should be cited. They must be correctly cited in the body of the manuscript and their full reference given in the "Bibliographical References" section.

Citation format should follow APA 6th edition. References in the body should be given in parentheses with author and year (or year only) in the following order: The author's last name followed by a comma (,) and the year of the edition used. If the quotation is textual, the year of the edition is followed by another comma (,), then the abbreviation of the page(s) (p. or pp.), and, separated by a space, the page number(s) on which the quotation is found. For example: (García Canclini, 1992, p. 45). If more than one reference is cited, they should be listed in chronological order by year of publication, from the oldest to the most recent, separated by a semicolon (;). If the references are to the same author, he/she should be named only once and the years should be separated by a comma. For example: (García Canclini, 1992, 1995).

In the event that an author has produced several works in the same year, it is necessary to differentiate between them by adding a lowercase letter after the year.

It is not appropriate to use expressions such as op. cit., ibidem or idem when referencing a text in the body of the manuscript; instead, the reference should be repeated.

In the event that a work is cited with only two authors, both names should be included each time they appear, with the connector "and" (e.g., Fonseca and Cardarello, 2005). In the event that a citation comprises between three and five authors, all authors are cited on the initial appearance. Subsequent citations will include only the last name of the first author, followed by the abbreviation "et al." If the citation corresponds to a text with six or more authors, only the first author, followed by "et al.," will be cited on the initial appearance and in subsequent citations. This format is consistent with the aforementioned guidelines.

Indirect citations or paraphrasing: In such instances, it is sufficient to include the author and year of the cited work in parentheses.

If the paraphrase is based on the author, the reference should be made at the beginning of the sentence. For example, Salamanca (2010) states that there is consensus to consider the indigenous mobilization of Napalpí, before the massacre, in a multidimensional way that involved economic, political, and social transformations.

In the event that the paraphrase is based on the text, the quote will be placed at the end.

A consensus has emerged among researchers and actors involved in the field to consider that the indigenous mobilization of Napalpí prior to the massacre had a multidimensional character (Salamanca, 2010).

Textual quotations. The textual quotation should be transcribed as it is -with punctuation and spelling- in the original, in case of omitting any word, three dots [...] should there be errors in the original quotation, the author may clarify with [sic] that this is how it is in the original and/or if the error may lead to confusion (for example in dates) he/she may also rectify it in square brackets.

Transcriptions of textual quotations that do not exceed 40 words should be included in the main body of the text between double or English quotation marks (" ") and without italics or bold font, unless in the original quotation there are emphasized words, in which case the italics or single quotation marks (‘ ’) should be used to replace the double quotation marks of the original. The reference (Salamanca, 2010, p. 71) should be placed in parentheses at the end of the quotation. It should be made clear whether the emphasis that appears in the words or phrases is original or made by the author of the article.

If the quotation exceeds 40 words, it should be presented separated from the main body of the text by a paragraph break and with an indentation of 2.54 cm on the left margin, without using italics or quotation marks at the beginning and end of the quotation. Suspensive points should not be used at the beginning or end. With regard to the words or phrases with emphasis that appear in the quotation, the above is maintained, as well as with the suppression of parts of the quotation.

Example quote 1

As Aguier (2013) puts it, it is in the "here and now of the refugee camp where political scenarios are created that do not have 'natural' legitimacy, but that make the humanitarian device or, elsewhere, the security device less questionable" (p. 21, emphasis in the original), so we should consider.…

Example quote 2

In that way it would seem that "anthropological studies tend to establish conclusions that come to be assumed to be correct, such that subsequent studies on those processes and problems tend mostly to confirm what has been established." (Menendez, 2013, pp. 31-32)

Example citation 3

Menendez (2013) states that:

En los últimos años observo que, por lo menos respecto de ciertos procesos y problemas, los estudios antropológicos tienden a establecer conclusiones que pasan a ser asumidas como correctas, de tal manera que los estudios subsiguientes sobre esos procesos y problemas tienden en su mayoría a confirmar lo establecido, generándose una reiteración en los nuevos productos, que sólo agregan algunos matices a los procesos y problemas estudiados. (pp. 31-32)

or in its absence

En los últimos años observo que, por lo menos respecto de ciertos procesos y problemas, los estudios antropológicos tienden a establecer conclusiones que pasan a ser asumidas como correctas, de tal manera que los estudios subsiguientes sobre esos procesos y problemas tienden en su mayoría a confirmar lo establecido, generándose una reiteración en los nuevos productos, que sólo agregan algunos matices a los procesos y problemas estudiados. (Menéndez, 2013, pp. 31-32)

If the quotation corresponds to interviews, records or field notes, they should be identified and correctly contextualized at the end of the quoted paragraph. In the case of interviews, identify and contextualize the interviewee and place of the interview, date of the interview (Initial or fictitious name, Mapuche leader, Mapuche community, Neuquén, February 2014). In the case of field notes or records, reference should be contextualized (Field record, Mapuche community, Neuquén, March 2014).

Use of italics and quotation marks

Bold or underlined text should not be used to highlight texts. When it is necessary to highlight text or words, italics or double and/or single quotation marks may be used. It is requested not to abuse them and to follow a logical criterion commonly accepted by the scientific community. If it is necessary to differentiate, with different types of emphasis, native or theoretical categories or particular concepts, it is highly recommended that the author(s) explain their use at the beginning of the article or by means of a footnote.

Acknowledgements and clarifications

Acknowledgements and financing should be presented on the cover page of the submission. Subsequently, if the article is accepted, the layout will place the acknowledgements at the end of the main body before the Bibliographical References. In them, all those who have contributed in any way to the research and to the result of the manuscript, but who cannot be considered authors, should be mentioned.

It is advisable to clarify and/or identify in a separate paragraph the sources of financing that originated and made the research possible. It is also requested that, if the research has been supported by public funds, it should be described according to Law Nº 26.899, Art. 4.5 if it has not already been clarified elsewhere.

Bibliographic References

Runa assumes for its references the international standard of the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition. Bibliographical references should be placed at the end of the article and all authors or works cited in the main body (and vice versa) should be included. Bibliographies that are not cited in the article should not appear.

Each of the references should begin with French indentation and be ordered alphabetically and chronologically (the oldest in first place).

The format of the citations begins with last name of Author/s in upper/lower case, initials of the name/s followed by a dot (several authors separated by comma (,) adding before the last author the connector 'and').

Citation of the same author with publication date in the same year will be ordered alphabetically by the title of the work without taking into account the initial articles of the title, the works will be differentiated by adding alphabetically a lowercase letter to the year.

Some examples of the format and structure that citations should follow, please respect the same in form and punctuation.
