Important:Bear in mind that every article submitted must be unpublished, of your authorship and must not have been presented in any other media for simultaneous publication. Furthermore, the author must yield their economic rights to the institution and authorize its divulgation for unlimited time in any media, online or print, including the internet.
There will be a priority in the selection process for those manuscripts on the topics listed below, which are divided into two broad knowledge areas: social sciences and education.
Particularly related to social sciences, the journal expects manuscripts on the following topics:
In the educational area, the journal is interested in the following topics:
The journal also prioritizes three types of documents:
Scientific research article: A document that presents, in a detailed manner, the original results of a research project. The structure is generally composed of five main parts: an introduction, a theoretical and conceptual framework, a methodology, results and conclusions.
Review article: a document that results from the analysis, systematization and integration of the results of published or unpublished research on a science or technology field to communicate the advancements and development trends of them. It is characterized by having a rigorous bibliographical review.
The selected articles will be uploaded to the journal’s OJS..
The manuscripts can also be submitted via email to the address socialeduca@udem.edu.co. The journal receives manuscripts for their possible publication between the fourth week of January up to the second week of December.
The structure of the article will be the following:
The articles must be submitted with the following formal requirements:
Examples for citation and references:
The citation of the authors will be inserted into the text between parentheses and indicating the first last name of the author or authors, the year and the page.
Example:
In this sense “el desarrollo de la transversalidad curricular como estrategia docente está unida de forma inexorable al desarrollo profesional del profesor, ya que este significa desarrollo, cambio, mejora, adecuación y crecimiento con relación al propio conocimiento y el contexto” (Fernández, 2004, p. 1).
Given the case of mentioning the name of the author for referring any idea of Him/her, the year of publication of the cited work will be indicated between parentheses.
Example:
Like this, Habermas (1994) señala que la esfera pública constituía el escenario clave del poder político.
If the work cited has two authors, the citation will be performed as mentioned above with the name of both authors. Onwards, the last name of the first author followed by the abbreviation et al. (with a period in the end) and the year of publication)
In the case of having three, four or five authors, they will all be cited the first time the reference is made.
The textual citations with less than forty words will continue within the text and between quotation marks. The number of pages in which the quote appears will be indicated between parentheses.
Example:
As stated by Ada Rodríguez (2007), “el lector deduce su significado en función de sus juicios, sus experiencias y su conocimiento del mundo” (p. 40).
If the quote is longer than 40 words will be written with an increase indent with a single space; without quotation marks. At the end of the quote, the page number(s) will be indicated. The ending point will be at the end of the quote, not at the end of the reference.
Example:
Daniel J. Kurland (2003) defines critical reading as:
una técnica que permite descubrir ideas e información dentro de un contenido escrito […] hace referencia a una lectura cuidadosa, activa, reflexiva y analítica” y pone de antemano la idea de pensamiento crítico en la que es necesario reflexionar sobre la validez de lo que se ha leído teniendo como referencia el conocimiento y la comprensión del mundo que se observa. (p. 56)
Every note or comment will be presented as a footnote and must be written at the immediate line (single-spaced) and progressive page number in arabic numerals. We insist on the exceptional character of footnotes and encourage authors to write them as briefly as possible, using the same criteria as with the bibliographical references.
In the bibliographical references list and/or articles must be referenced only those effectively used in the text and must be arranged chronologically and alphabetically by their last names. If an author has two or more references from the same year the letters ‘a,b,c’ will be added to avoid any confusion. The references will be registered as in the examples listed below in this general structure: Last name(s), followed by the first name initials; publishing year (between parentheses), book title or journal (in italics) and publishing house.

Castillo, A. del (1998). Entre la criminalidad y el orden cívico: imágenes y representaciones de la niñez durante el porfiriato. Historia Mexicana, 48(2), 277-320.
If the reference comes from a newspaper article the structure will be the following: author’s last name, author’s initials, publication date between parenthesis, the title of the article in round type, name of the newspaper in italics and pages.
