Author Guidelines

Guidelines for contributing authors:

Humanidades: revista de la Universidad de Montevideo is a journal of Philosophy, History and Literature, published every six months (June and December of each year) by the Faculty of Humanities and Education and the Centre for Documentation and Ibero-American Studies, academic units of the Universidad de Montevideo.

Commitment to the editor and copyright:

Only original content that is not committed to another publication and whose author(s) are in full possession of publishing rights will be published. The submission of the originals to the editor entails that the author or the authors of the collaborations give to Humanidades: revista de la Universidad de Montevideo the reproduction rights of the admitted texts. In turn, cases of co-authorship must be expressly stated, as well as cases in which the author received collaborations, suggestions or comments from third parties.

Notice of copyright:

This Journal is published by the Faculty of Humanities and Education and the Centre for Documentation and Ibero-American Studies, academic units of the Universidad de Montevideo.

The authors who publish in this journal accept the following terms:

The authors retain the copyright and grant the journal the right of first publication of the work under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license, which allows others to share the work with an acknowledgment of authorship and an acknowledgment of their initial publication in this journal. Authors are allowed and encouraged to publish their work online (in repositories or on their website) after the presentation of this issue of Humanidades, as this can generate productive exchanges, as well as a higher citation of the published work (see “The Effect of Open Access”).

Arbitration system:

Texts sent by contributors to the journal Humanidades -without authorship data- are received by the journal's secretariat and referred to the associate editor (if they are intended for the Studies dossier) or to the editorial secretary (if they are intended for the Articles section). If, in the first part of the review process, any doubts about the text arise, they may be referred to the Editorial Board for deliberation. With the Board's decision it is returned to the associate editor or the editorial secretary. If the text is rejected, the associate editor and the editorial secretary are notified so that the author can be informed within 10 days, following the usual procedure via the journal's secretary's office.
When a text is accepted in this first instance, it is submitted to anonymous and confidential double-blind refereeing by external referees, who must be at least two in number. The journal's secretariat passes the text to the reviewers indicated by the associate editor or the editorial secretary. The evaluators are responsible for studying the scientific and methodological quality of the text, which may be accepted, accepted with major or minor modifications, or rejected. The decisions of the reviewers are passed on to the associate editor or the editorial secretary. When modifications are requested, the associate editor or the editorial secretary requests the intervention of the journal's secretariat. When the text is approved or rejected, the author is notified in the usual way via the journal's secretary. If the text is rejected, a brief explanation must be sent at the expense of the associate editor or the editorial secretary.
When a text submitted to the Studies dossier, whether for its length or for any other reason, in the opinion of the associate editor it is advisable for it to be moved to the Articles section, the associate editor notifies the editorial secretary for authorisation. Once this change has been authorised, the journal's secretary's office is asked to communicate the decision to the author and request his/her agreement. Whatever the decision taken on a text received by the Studies dossier or the Articles section, this must be communicated to the author within a maximum period of 9 months from the receipt of the text by the journal. In some cases it may be necessary to extend the deadline for a justified reason; it may never be longer than one month and the journal's secretary will always notify the author of this measure. If there is a clear discrepancy between the evaluators, the associate editor or the editorial secretary is empowered to request a new evaluation under the same conditions as the first two; this third evaluation will define the judgement on the text.

All reviewers undertake to observe universally accepted ethical and scientific research standards. The journal Humanidades may specify them from time to time.
When the issue is published, the authors receive a copy of the corresponding issue of the journal Humanidades.

         [...] es publico conocimiento y notoria en todo aquel barrio su sucepcion,

         honestidad, y buen proceder, y que solo si pocos dias antes el propio rivas le

         havia comentado al que declara como un moso que esta en su esquina llamado

         francisco blanco se la havia pedido para casarse con ella, al que le respondio

         que  si  que  era  gustoso  en  eyo  que  se  esperase  que  viniese  su  muger  que 

         entonces se havia de ejecutar, y que dicho moso lo havia encargado el secreto,

         y es bueno que me encarga el secreto, y se a valido de una muger del barrio

         que es Doña Ana de la Solla para que le grangee la voluntad a la muchacha

         pues sabremos como ha de ser este casamiento y discurre el declarante que de

         aqui a nacido el encono de dicho Rivas [...] en venganza de no haber querido

To quote a quote:

Citing a source from a secondary source (“cited in”) should be avoided, since the authors are expected to have examined the works they cite. However, if an original source is not available, both the original and the secondary sources must be listed.

First the primary source is cited followed by “cited in” and then the secondary source.
