Author Guidelines

Instructions for publication: use the template provided by clicking here.

Carthaginensia does not charge authors for publication or processing of articles.

Authors interested in publishing in Carthaginensia should submit original contributions, submit an article in the format provided and upload it with all the data. The “subtitle” section will be used to upload the title in English.

Carthaginensia uses the Turnitin system for plagiarism detection. If plagiarism is detected, the article will be rejected.

In production, Carthaginensia will remove references to the author. There are three types of collaborations that are accepted:

Scientific research article with critical support (6,000-9,000 words).

A document that presents, in detail, the original results of research projects. The structure generally used contains four important sections: introduction, methodology, results and conclusions.

Notes and commentaries (2,000-5,000 words).

Research articles of lesser length that express opinions, experiences, personal analysis, etc.

Papers (2,500-5,000 words).

Submission of written documents that are not the result of original research.

Carthaginensia adheres to the best practices in Gender Equality, so it is required that all the article identifies the authors mentioned with their full name. Likewise, the use of inclusive language is recommended, without contravening the spelling rules in force in the language of the article.

CSIC Guidelines for the use of inclusive language: https://www.icmm.csic.es/img/guiaicmm_cursolenguajeinclusivo.pdf

For publication, the article must be relevant and unpublished. The article must have the following characteristics:

Word or similar format (a model is provided for the elaboration of the article).
Length: between 6,000 and 9,000 words.
Font: Times New Roman, size 12.
Spacing: single
Margin: 3 cm on all sides.

The title of the article should be presented, in Spanish and English, followed by the author's name, affiliation (faculty, university or institution) together with ORCID and/or ResearchID, and contact e-mail, an abstract (100 to 150 words) and a maximum of five keywords, in Spanish and English. The use of capital letters should be avoided, being restricted to acronyms or abbreviations that require it. In footnotes and bibliography, authors' names should be written in small caps.

Very important: The bibliography should be placed at the end of the article in alphabetical order, with a maximum of 25 references and no more than 3 of the author's own. Each reference should be separated from the next by a blank space by a line break, as shown in the image below. The citation system will follow the CHICAGO-DEUSTO system, with a choice between the Notes and bibliography system or the Author-Date system, although the latter is recommended as it leaves the text cleaner (http://www.deusto-publicaciones.es/deusto/pdfs/otraspub/otraspub07.pdf).

Copyright: the author who sends his/her article to Carthaginensia agrees to authorize only its publication in Carthaginensia. Authors are responsible for the opinions expressed in their works and for the copyright of the same. However, for the purpose of subsequent publication or reproduction of works published in this journal, the author must request permission from the journal, as well as explicitly mention that such works were originally published in Carthaginensia.

Plagiarism detection: those who wish to publish in Carthaginensia commit themselves to the total originality of their texts and to avoid any element that could be considered plagiarism, from literal plagiarism, mosaic, uncited paraphrasing or uncited quotation marks. The journal has means for the detection of plagiarism that will be applied prior to submission for peer review. In case of plagiarism, the article will be rejected at this stage and the decision will be communicated to the author.
