Information For Authors

The journal's standards for writing academic manuscripts for publication purposes include the guidelines and requirements for publishing in the Journal. CICAP has ISSN publisher codes.

These standards correspond to the CICAP Publications Process, and are intended to contribute to the communication mechanisms for the dissemination of research, social action and teaching results, regulated by the guidelines and policies of the Vice-Rector's Office for Research, without detriment to those that may be formulated by other university bodies in the legitimate exercise of their powers. The regulations for publishing journals of the University of Costa Rica (UCR) require a high academic level.

Authors are obliged to verify that their submission complies with all the elements shown below and those requested in the publication standards:

  • The manuscript has not been previously published, nor has it been submitted to other journals in parallel.
  • The file sent is in editable format in a word processor (.txt, .doc or .docx)
  • Web addresses have been incorporated into the references where possible.
  • The text meets the requirements of the documents according to the format required in the publication standards.
  • The text complies with the required citation styles and elements such as tables and figures have a title, source, are referenced (they are named before being presented), are legible, original or adapted, are not complex or extensive, and their resolution is of high quality.
  • Submission to a peer-reviewed section of the journal implies knowledge that the review will be blind and that the document requires anonymization processes.

All articles that do not comply with these guidelines will be returned. See: Publishing guidelines for authors
