Author Guidelines
Author Guidelines
Article manuscripts can be submitted in Spanish, Portuguese or English. Manuscripts must be fully anonymized, that is, free of any identifying information in both the text and notes. Articles should have a length of 8.000 words including notes and references and must be presented in accordance to the journal style guidelines: Times New Roman 12, letter size, double-spaced, consecutive page numbers, and 2.5cm margins. The first page should include the full title, an abstract of 150 words, and 5 keywords, all of which should be provided in both the article language and English (or in Spanish if the article language is English). Illustrations (.png only), graphs, maps, and tables should be emailed or uploaded as separate files along with the submission; please do not embed these items within the manuscript. Authors of accepted articles who wish to include an ‘Acknowledgements’ brief note should place it at the end of the article, before the ‘References’ section.
Originality Statement
In addition, authors should fill out and sign the originality statement form, and email or upload it along with the submission. This is the formal procedure for authors to indicate that the article is original, and is not under review by another journal.
Author Page
Authors should also provide a separate file with a Word document using the designation ‘Author Page’. This document should include the following information: full title of the manuscript, author’s name, institutional affiliation, work address, e-mail address, and ORCID. Authors may also indicate here if the article is a result of a research project that received institutional funding.
Book Reviews
Book reviews should have a length of 1500 words, and must be written in formal, conceptual, and concise language. The book review heading should include the following information: book author, full title, place of publication, publisher, year, page count, and ISBN. Any references to other publications should follow the journal style guidelines. The reviewer’s name, institution, and ORCID should be placed at the bottom of the review.
Style Guidelines
HAAL adopts the American Psychological Association’s Publication Manual , but also allows the use of footnotes. Therefore, the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text: (Kay, 2018). If necessary, the reference will also include page numbers: (Deere, 2015: 23). The complete reference list should appear alphabetically by name at the end of the article. If the source has more than two authors, the first author’s last name should be followed by et al., and the year of publication: (Garavaglia et al., 1990).
Examples:
a. If the author is mentioned in the sentence:
Nickel (2013) argued that “La hacienda triguera respondió a la expansión del mercado interno por medio de una serie de transformaciones tecnológicas, como la construcción de canales de regadío y la mecanización selectiva” (p. 22)
b. If the author is not mentioned in the sentence, last name, year, and date of publication should be included:
“El establecimiento de nuevas líneas de ferrocarril contribuyó decisivamente a la integración del mercado interno y facilitó la expansión productiva en Chile Central” (Miller, 2013, p. 22)
c. Block quote
If a quotation is 40 words or longer, it should be placed as a free-standing, indented paragraph without quotation marks:
As agronomist Barros explained,
One the main difficulties that agricultural innovations have faced everywhere has also taken place in Chile, that is, the resistance of rural workers to the introduction of threshing machines. Precisely, because landowners were beginning to adopt a favorable opinion of threshers, the workers declared the crudest war on these machines, fearing that they would reduce need of laborers and cause a decrease in wages. (Barros, 1878, p. 14)
Footnotes
In addition to references in the text, the articles may include footnotes, to provide precise references of the sources consulted, such as archival documents, official publications, newspapers and magazines, interviews, and webpages. Likewise, footnotes can also be used to add relevant, brief explanations that complement the arguments presented in the text. All the footnotes should be consecutively numbered, and must be written in Times New Roman 11 pt., single-spaced.
