Submissions
Submission Preparation Checklist
All submissions must meet the following requirements.
- The manuscript has not been published or sent yet to any other journal (unless an explanation has been provided on the section Comments to the Editor)
- Please, fill and attach the file “Publication authorization form”, which you can find at https://inii.ucr.ac.cr/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/2020-05-18-Publication-authorization-form.docx
- The autor/authors accepts a grammar and style review from a philologist. Otherwise, the author/authors provide a letter declaring that the document has been previously reviewed by another philologist or that the manuscript meets these requirements.
- All authors must indicate their ORCID when registered. In case you do not own an ORCID code, follow the steps at https://orcid.org/signin
- The authors must send the reference of three specialists in their line of research, these must be external to your work institution (for example, if you work for the University of Costa Rica, the people you recommend must belong to institutions other than this university); people with international affiliations to avoid conflicts of interest between authors and the possible reviewers. The information shared by these people must include name, academic degree, institutional affiliation, email, and specialty. The Revista Ingeniería reserves the right to assign these suggested people as peer reviewers.
- The authors must generate a supplementary document, which must be sent with the draft of the manuscript. The roles in which each of the authors has participated should be detailed. Each author can have multiple roles and each role can be used in different authors. (See taxonomy, final part of copyright section)
Original Articles
The documents considered for publication must be unpublished, sufficiently innovative, original, and must represent an academic effort of research, technological development or science applied to particular problems related to engineering.
Short Communications
These documents are not necessarily original, but they must have new and different mecanisms or methods of solving informative, technical or scientific problems. They must be short, innovative and useful documents with aims to proffesional update or to improve the teaching of Engineering, Architecture and Computing.
Copyright Notice

- Has taken part in the design of the research or in the critical study of the content.
- Has taken part in the approval of the final version of the work.
- Be able to answer any question that the published work may raise.
- An “author” must meet all of the above considerations (adapted from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/translations/spanish2015.pdf)

Contributor Roles Taxonomy
- Conceptualization – Ideas; formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims.
- Data curation – Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data and maintain research data (including software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later re-use.
- Formal analysis – Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data.
- Funding acquisition - Acquisition of the financial support for the project leading to this publication.
- Investigation – Conducting a research and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments, or data/evidence collection.
- Methodology – Development or design of methodology; creation of models.
- Project administration – Management and coordination responsibility for the research activity planning and execution.
- Resources – Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources, or other analysis tools.
