Composition of articles


Regardless of the type of article, it is made up of 3 representative blocks, which correspond to:



  1. Meta-description


They are the fields that identify the work, the descriptive content or summary and the authors; These are made up of:



  • Proposed title: corresponds to the title that the author proposes for his work; It is important to understand that this is not the title of the research, but should focus either on the topic of the main finding or on the subject that is of interest to the academy. This must be clear, express and succinct, it is recommended that it be presented in title and subtitle mode, so that the title expresses the main interest of the author and the subtitle limits methods or other relevant aspects. When proposing the title, it is recommended that you put yourself in the place of who uses and consumes articles so that they formulate it in the way that they consider to be the easiest for this person to access, use and take advantage of their work.

  • Summary: they are the texts that allow the reader to understand what he has to find in his work; When formulating it, it is recommended that you use this summary as a tool that validates and validates throughout your manuscript writing process, in such a way that it helps you narrow down in the preparation process and that there is no information that on or missing both in the abstract and in the manuscript. Abstracts are requested in the following models: Summary in structured format: It is a methodological tool that facilitates the management of the production of articles by synthesizing attending to each of the following items: Background (Background), Objective (Goal), Materials and Methods (Methodology), Results (Results), Conclusions (Conclusions). Once you have finished preparing your article, Transform this structured summary into a literal text, so that it allows the widest range of possibilities to access your article and, therefore, so that you, as the author, can be favored by improving your citation index. Abstract in literal format: narrative text that complies with the delimited word margin to describe the article in question. In no case should it limit “this article”, since it is inferred that it is the meta-description of the content that is addressed in the same work or article; Depending on the type of article, it must comply with the range determined for this purpose, indicated in the Min and Max Summaries columns. Do not describe in the summary your funding sources or the project from which it is derived, as these are other meta-descriptive fields that you must report separately. so that it allows the widest range of possibilities to access your article and, therefore, so that you as an author can benefit from improving your citation index.

  • Keywords:Horizontes Pedagógicos es una revista que por estar enmarcada en las humanidades y la educación, debe atender una ontología precisa de términos que faciliten una búsqueda estandarizada de los mismos y que pueda hacer que su artículo se correlacione en búsquedas especializadas con esta ontología, de ahí que se emplee el tesauro de la Unesco: SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System), el cual puede ser consultado en: http://skos.um.es/unescothes/CS000/html Una ontología formulada a través de un tesauro es una construcción poli-lingüística, es decir que va más allá del término propio en nuestro idioma a un código que representa a la misma expresión en cualquier idioma. Así, los sistemas de búsqueda basados en SKOS o que hacen uso de los servicios de la Unesco reconocerán e incluirán en las listas de resultados a su artículo por estar ligado a esta ontología. De allí que lo más importante sea que exprese cada una de sus palabras clave como muestra los siguientes ejemplos (literal, código, URI):diversidad cultural C00871 http://skos.um.es/unescothes/C00871proceso cognitivo C00651 http://skos.um.es/unescothes/C00651enseñanza de las matemáticas C02438 http://skos.um.es/unescothes/C02438Donde cada uno de estos tres valores tiene la misma equivalencia, por lo que lo instamos a declarar en sus palabras clave por lo menos en dos valores de cada uno literal código o literal URI. Como una recomendación editorial, se insta a los autores a que empleen los términos más representativos de su obra, evitando que estos hagan parte del título ya que la búsqueda por palabras clave se hace cuando no ha sido posible obtener buenos resultados en una búsqueda simple, que generalmente lee los títulos y las descripciones. En la tabla de tipos de artículos se ha señalado los mínimos requeridos según el tipo de artículo, esto en función de aumentar la visibilidad de su obra en los sistemas de búsqueda y recuperación de datos y metadatos o en motores simples como Google, Bing u Opera.

  • Author (s) Information:The information of the authors is relevant so that users and consumers of knowledge can quote their work. In this sense, this information includes relevant elements that must be declared by each of the authors, such as: Surname (s) Use them as they appear legally in your identity document First Name Personal name that appears first in your legal document Middle name The other proper elements that may have in your name Orcid identifier: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5888- 2575 researcherID (Wos / IsI): http: //www.researcherid. com / rid / H-8291-2017 AuthorID Scopus), Research Gate, Linkedin and / or a personal website (not shared) Affiliation: statement that clearly indicates the institution to which it belongs, which is described as: Abbreviation , Bio institution name: Biographical information of the author that is made up of the titles obtained (degrees) and institutions, groups to which he is linked, current position and others as research interests. e-mail: institutional and personal e-mail address telephone: telephone number where the author can be contacted.

  • Identifiers:We privilege the recognition and indexing systems of your data, such as those provided by Scopus AuthorID, Clarivate (WoS) ResearchID and ORCID; Its use makes it easier for citation analysis systems to easily resolve any type of ambiguity that may affect their citation index and for tools such as Research Gate, ResearchID, Google Scholar, Mendeley, among others, to easily recognize the products and works of its ownership.

  • Coverages: It is important that you provide information from your research that allows it to be located in time and space: Time: corresponds to the date or range of dates between which the research presented in the article is proposed or carried out. Populations: it comprises a set of pathological, racial, geocultural, age or gender descriptions that allow recognizing or identifying the characteristics of the study subjects. Space: it is the information that allows delimiting the place or ranges of places where the studies narrated and described in the article occurred. This information can be presented in the following ways: Physical address (identification list and correspondence addresses of the places where the investigation was carried out. Geospatial address (list of locations by Georeferential Latitude - Longitude coordinates; these can be obtained using google maps). TGN descriptors (using the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names) referencing ontology. Today, many of the trends in research and especially in data-science analytics make it possible to make the indicators of research at micro and macro political levels, faith research of the settings, populations and moments in which it makes its intervention, which is useful to support and leverage the development of public policy, which is even more relevant to the issues key that declares Pedagogical Horizons,

  • Project from which it is derived:It refers to the research project from which the work results, in other cases those that are proposed or are in progress. For the analytical paradigm of research, it facilitates the relationship of projects with their products and allows different products of the same author to be placed in the same context.

  • Sources of funding: it is the space through which the authors indicate the scholarships, calls and other elements typical of the CTeI systems that participate in this type of activities, for which they consequently deserve their due recognition; this is functional insofar as it allows research analytical systems to recognize different systems of research funding sources; Note that these may or may not be contrasted with conflicts of interest - and likewise from the tax side, evidencing participation in this class of projects, from the publication of works as results.



  1. Article


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. Microsoft Word; This is one of the criteria for editorial acceptance prior to referral to peer reviewers. 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. These should be uploaded as supplemental files to your submission on the platform, preferably from the original file, so that their highest quality can be preserved. Each photo you upload must declare the author and project information in metadata or in a txt file with the same name as the JPG or TIF image eg: foto001.jpg; foto001.txt. 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 ...) In the case of sound or voice records, these may be 'raw' (unedited) or edited; We recommend that, in the case of raw material, it be uploaded to a collection in the institutional repository corresponding to your affiliation; and in the case of edited material, this is arranged on a podcast platform or as, soundCloud or youtube, among others. In the case of videos, it is recommended that they be uploaded to platforms that comply with the H264 standard such as YouTube or Vimmeo, preferably in HD 1080 or 720 format. 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).



  1. Responsibilities


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.

Editorial assessment


The article will be assigned to a section editor, who will carry out the following tasks taking into account the proposed times established in the table below:


• Anti-plagiarism review


• Review and validation of citations and references


• Review and adjustment of editorial format


• Review and format adjustment of materials


complementary


• Search for experts to evaluate the article


The editor will be able to determine some needs that he has identified in the article and that need to be rectified before being sent to the editorial rounds of evaluation by peer evaluators, so he will send the manuscript as it is at the time.


Editorial rounds


Your manuscript is submitted to peer reviewers under the double-blind methodology so that they recommend or not its publication based on a set of criteria related to the concretion, cohesion and soundness of the proposed work, keep in mind that the referees may recommend the rejection of the work, its acceptance with major adjustments that require a second revision, minor adjustments that allow them to be corrected with the editor or its unconditional acceptance.


The editor must make a comparison between the recommendations of the referees to make his decision and communicate it to the authors:


• If the two pairs show substantial differences in their evaluation, it constitutes a reason for the editor to appoint a third arbitrator to settle the differences and make the corresponding decision.


• In cases of unconditional acceptance of both arbitrators, the manuscript is transferred to the publication process.


• In the case of rejection, the editor will notify the author of this situation and the reasons presented by the evaluators; the author will have a period of 5 working days to make effective his right to be reevaluated arguing the reasons for this purpose; In this case, the editor will present the situation to the editorial committee and this will determine whether or not the right is brought and will order a new round of evaluation or, failing that, notify the author of the negative decision and report the novelty to the issuer the respective certificate of release of responsibilities.


• In all other cases, the editor will document the evaluators' recommendations and will send them to the authors so that they can make the respective adjustments at the times indicated.


• Once the authors submit the requested adjustments, the editor will verify their compliance. If the evaluation indicates that it has major adjustments, the editor will start a new evaluation round.


• Once the editor determines that the manuscript is publishable, it will be transferred to the publication process.


Publication


In this process, it issues the certificate of announcement of acceptance of the article that the publisher sends directly, together with the documents that the author must attach for publication and a notification of the responsibilities existing at the time.


The manuscript undergoes a review by a style editor with experience in the discipline. This may or may not communicate with the authors by any means to resolve doubts and concerns regarding the writing of the manuscript and thus be able to debug it so that it complies with the current grammatical rules for the language, this is a process that should not take more than 3 business days.


Once the manuscript has been adjusted in style, it is submitted for graphic (PDF), scientific (JatsXML) and web (HTML) montage. At the end the PDF is sent for review by the authors, who will have up to 5 business days to send their comments, if they do not receive any in this period, they will be incorporated into the number, validating the completeness of the documents of the authors and issue the certificates of publication and release of responsibilities.
