SENDING ORIGINALS

The Board of Editors will look at all manuscripts sent and which are related to the journal’s purpose. The texts should be unpublished and not be presented for publication with any other media outlet.

Manuscripts should be sent via the journal’s website (http://www.ehu.eus/ojs/index.php/hegoa) or by email to the address hegoa@ehu.eus. Correspondence will be carried out with one of the signatories of the article (the first author, unless otherwise stated), giving acknowledgement of receipt of the manuscript sent.

ASSESSMENT OF MANUSCRIPTS PRESENTED

In order for the articles received to undergo the assessment process, they should meet all the Cuadernos de Trabajo Hegoa publishing requirements. The goal of the assessment process is to choose the highest quality texts. This process includes an initial selection by the Board of Editors and a later revision by an expert member of the Editorial Committee or one appointed by this body, and will eventually include peer review. The Board of Editors will notify the article author/s regarding acceptance, need for revision or rejection of the manuscript.

PUBLISHING REQUIREMENTS

Authors are urged to revise the wording of their texts and the terminology used carefully, avoiding confusing constructions and excessively specialized jargon. The text must make use of non-sexist language.

The text is to be presented in Spanish, Basque or English, in Arial no. 12, and should be approximately 30,000 words long (about 60 pages of DIN-A4 size), without counting bibliographical references, a section that is to be no longer than seven pages. Notes are to be given as footnotes, in Arial no. 10 and should be numbered correlatively with superscript Arabic numerals. Manuscripts are to be delivered in doc (Microsoft Office Word) or odt (OpenOffice Writer) format.

No underlining or bold is to be used, except in titles, which should be in bold and size 14, numbered according to the pattern 1., 1.1., 1.1.1., 2... If the writer wishes to highlight a particular sentence or word in the text, italics should be used.

The texts sent should show, on the first page and preceding the title, the author or authors with this information: name, surname(s), email address and institutional affiliation or workplace. The submission should also include an abstract of the text, in English, as well as a maximum of five keywords that are representative of the article’s content.

Figures, tables, graphs and maps included should be integral parts of the text, duly ordered by type, and with a source identified. Their titles should be appropriate and expressive of the content. If colours are used, it is asked that the figures also be sent in greyscale and that the lines be differentiated through the use of different symbols or types of line. All of them should also be sent independently in one of these formats: pdf, xls (Microsoft Office Excel) or ods (OpenOffice Calc). In the case of graphs, files should be sent containing the baseline data.

Mathematical formulae are to be numbered, when the author considers this to be necessary, with Arabic numerals in brackets, to the right of the formula. All mathematical formulae, along with any other symbols appearing in the text, should be sent in pdf format.

Bibliographical references will be included in the text with a parenthesis indicating the surname of the author followed (after a comma) by the year of publication (distinguishing a, b, c, etc. in correlative order from the oldest to the most recent in cases when the author has more than one work cited from a single year) and, if necessary, page number.

   Examples:

   (Keck and Sikkink, 1998)
   (Keck and Sikkink, 1998; Dobbs et al., 1973)

At the end of the text a complete bibliographical list is to be included, with a list in alphabetical order of the authors written in the following forms, depending on whether the work is a journal article, book or book chapter. If necessary, the date of the first edition or of the original version is to be included in parenthesis at the end.
