Composition of articles Regardless of the type of article, it is made up of 3 representative blocks, which correspond to:
They are the fields that identify the work, the descriptive content or summary and the authors; These are made up of:
It corresponds to the specific content of the work, which starts from the "principles of scientific research", based on the use of methodological and systematic rigor, which through a methodology obtains valid and verifiable knowledge. -the typologies that are admitted correspond to different moments of the research. About the content of the manuscript: In this sense, there are investigations that require random assignments, quasi-experimental designs or others that reduce and limit the explanations of the results obtained to minimize controversies that may arise. Among these we find longitudinal designs, case control methods, statistical agreement or time series analysis. This standard especially applies to studies that assess the impacts of policies and programs on educational outcomes. In this sense, "scientific research" encompasses basic, applied and evaluative research in which logic, design and interpretation are developed according to the scientific principles set forth above. Naturally, when submitting an article you recognize three (3) characteristics essentials of his work: originality, indemnity and suitability; supports and declares highly reliable sources, adheres to standards of evaluation and editorial review and expert evaluation and peer review; You have your data so that your studies or experiments can be reanalyzed, replicated or reconstructed to validate your results or obtain new findings; authorizes their work to be distributed in open access, so that it nurtures the knowledge base of the discipline, can be input for other researchers and research and can be used by the academic community for the continuous improvement of the discipline and its practices. You have your data so that your studies or experiments can be reanalyzed, replicated or reconstructed to validate your results or obtain new findings; authorizes their work to be distributed in open access, so that it nurtures the knowledge base of the discipline, can be input for other researchers and research and can be used by the academic community for the continuous improvement of the discipline and its practices. You have your data so that your studies or experiments can be reanalyzed, replicated or reconstructed to validate your results or obtain new findings; authorizes their work to be distributed in open access, so that it nurtures the knowledge base of the discipline, can be input for other researchers and research and can be used by the academic community for the continuous improvement of the discipline and its practices. Structure of the manuscript:the usual method of formulating and constructing an article is consistent with what is described above in the structured summary. Usually you find schemes in which you are required: Introduction, Methodology, Results and Conclusions; In this regard, it should be clarified that in this type of structure it is consistent with what is also indicated in the previous title: about the content of the manuscript. For Pedagogical Horizons, the topic of structure is represented by understanding the blocks or sections that are expected so that the logic investigative, plot and narrative are more fluid and navigable. Then, authors are urged to complete these minimum sections in their articles, which may have other titles that are consistent with the author's narrative but attest to these sections. Eg: Tautological microeconomics discourses (introduction) Feel free to contribute or not to provide a representative and remarkable phrase or quote related to your work. When you do not use the title introduction, at the beginning of your article you may include one or two paragraphs that anticipate its context or rationalization. Authors are recommended to make their manuscript more navigable; in this sense, incorporate in your sections other levels of title; This is representative since if you define a table of contents before writing your manuscript, you will be able to punctually limit what you should or should not include in your article; in any case, it is recommended that there be some level of title each page or page and a half, this will allow whoever quotes it to make more specific and situated approximations of the context in which they come to their work. In this sense, Considerations of the text:The texts must be written in an impersonal linguistic form and in them the use of a discriminatory language regarding gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnic and racial identity, disability, etc. will be avoided. The authors will make an effort so that the text does not contain keys or suggestions that identify them. Whenever you have studies that involve the participation of living beings, you must make explicit the informed consent mechanism that you have used, either from the study subjects or their legal representatives and from the institutions where the research was carried out. Any number at the beginning of a sentence will be written with words. In the text, only numbers will be used for numbers equal to or greater than 10. The decimal separator to use corresponds to a point and from thousands to a comma. In the newsroom, avoid using specific or unnecessary adjectives or pronouns that allude to gender; Avoid assumptions derived from gender or social stereotypes about people, their abilities, attitudes, and relationships. The texts must be written in the third person. Citation and reference management:Among the ethical principles of research, Appointment Law emerges with great relevance, as a tool to ensure the recognition of the investigative, social or cultural work of people and organizations that in one way or another provide information, content or knowledge for the generation of new knowledge or for its use and consumption. It is worth making a clear distinction: A person or student must attend with minimal citation elements, such as those indicated by the APA, Vancouver, Chicago, Turabian, ISO, IEEE standards ... A researcher is someone who seeks to deepen and deepen knowledge, then the minimums required by the different standards of citation and reference do not apply since it must provide as much information as possible to demonstrate its serious exercise. So, The most complete and correct referencing of sources benefits who you quote because it shows the quality of your work and who is cited because it effectively acknowledges your rights, which also gives you as author moral authority to demand that your work is correctly cited and referenced. The publisher, through the work teams in the editorial evaluation cycle, must make a thorough review of anti-plagiarism software tools, to ensure the correct use of the content and citations and references to homogenize them from the reference tool.

References are declared at the end, according to APA 7th edition standards and are part of the responsibilities. Tables, graphs and illustrations:the articles are constantly nourished by tables that summarize the information obtained in the different research processes; many of them require to be abstracted in graphs that facilitate the visualization of the data. For its part, what has to do with designs and processes constantly requires diagrams and diagrams. All this information is important, especially so that your experience can be validated, replicated or fed back by other researchers. In this sense, it is mandatory that these items: tables, graphs, illustrations, figures, diagrams, etc., be submitted in legible formats, that is, they allow the data to be read appropriately; In no case are they accepted as images if the source files of these elements are not attached. Authors are encouraged to use the tools provided by Microsoft Word or Open Office to create tables and graphs; Although these are not compatible with publication standards, they allow access to data to be replicated in other tools; They also allow you to create captions or descriptive titles that identify the table, graph or image that they reference. Likewise, use the cross-reference tool to link the paragraphs of text with these table titles. Audio-visual supports:During your research process, you may have recorded photographic, sound or audiovisual (video) information; in the case of photographs, authors are encouraged to contribute and nurture their work with a quantity of this evidence, which was not possible to have in physical formats due to printing costs, a limitation that does not exist in digital environments.

If you require third party photographs, You must include documents with their authorization or links to URLs of platforms that allow the use of images with open licenses (eg: pixabay. com, freepik.com ...)

Include in your manuscript the recommended location for each of the above elements. Annexes and appendices: Other types of documents that accompany or support your research may be included, either as links to the institutional repository of your affiliation or as local evidence, this includes for example letters, instruments or data-sets (raw data collected in the field).
This third element of the articles contains elements that the authors declare based on responding socially with their work and includes: Interest conflict:It is an ethical statement through which the authors indicate if any of the members has a conflict of interest with the topic addressed, either because their work, the affiliation or representation of any organization, has any political, social or commercial interest in the handling of the topic that has been addressed in the article; otherwise it is not necessary to declare it.
