Types of contributions

Articles: They are to be original and the result of one's own research, the results and conclusions of which advance the discipline. All manuscripts sent to this section will go through an Editorial Process comprised of two evaluation phases: an internal, preliminary evaluation, followed by an external evaluation based on a double-blind system.

Pedagogical innovation: They are to be original and the result of one's own research, their results and conclusions advancing the discipline. All manuscripts sent to this section will undergo an Editorial Process comprised of two evaluation phases: an internal, preliminary evaluation, followed by an external one based on a double-blind system.

Book Reviews: Texts that analyse and critique a recently published work of interest to the journal.

Structure of the works

This guide should be followed for the presentation of both the Articles and the teaching innovation experiences to be published in the UNES. Universidad, Escuela y Sociedad journal. The presentation format is the same for both sections of the journals, with the only exception being the maximum length allowed; for Articles the maximum is 50,000 characters, including spaces; and for Teaching Innovation the maximum is 20,000 characters, including spaces. At the end of this section is the STYLE MANUAL, which must be complied with in its entirety.

These instructions must be carefully complied with for your work to be considered in the evaluation process of the UNES. Universidad, Escuela y Sociedad journal.

Keep in mind that the articles and the educational innovation teaching experiences must be original and derived from one's own research, the results and conclusions of which represent an advance for the discipline of Social Sciences Pedagogy and related sciences.

The length for the Articles section is capped at 50,000 characters, including spaces, notes and bibliographic references. Papers of less than 10 pages will not be considered. In the Teaching Innovation section, the maximum length is 20,000 characters, including spaces, notes and bibliographic references; these papers containing less than 5 pages will not be considered.

The content of the Articles should, preferably, observe the following structure: Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion and Conclusions. In the case of the Teaching Innovation section, this structure may be more flexible, although it must include Introduction, Results and Conclusions sections.

1. Introduction

In the Introduction section the research topic is stated, specifying its justification and scope from the point of view of its importance for solving problems or its contribution to the advancement of knowledge. The main objectives and conclusions of the work should also be clearly set forth. Likewise, a literature review should be included (What research has already been done? What results have been achieved?)

2. Methodology

A detailed description must be included of the sources or materials used, as well as the criteria and procedures employed for the study. The purpose of this section is to inform readers about the research process that was carried out so that it can be replicated or imitated by other researchers.

3. Results

The findings should be identified and described in an intelligible and concise manner. The work should feature, as far as possible, tables, graphics, images and diagrams presenting the results obtained, thereby facilitating their analysis and interpretation.

4. Discussion

The results obtained in the study will be compared or related to previous ones published by other researchers. The similarities and differences with respect to previous studies should be considered.

5. Conclusions

It will contain a synthesis of the approaches taken as they relate to the objectives of the work. In addition, new questions or proposals for improvements should be cited, to be pursued in future research.

STYLE MANUAL FOR EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION ARTICLES

The manuscript must be submitted using the MANUSCRIPT TEMPLATES. Two template files (Title Page and Main Text) must be sent through the system enabled on this website (Open Journal Systems).

The sections will be presented in bold and capital letters, with font size 12; and the subsections will also be presented in 12-size font, in bold and lower case. Their numbering will follow the following sequence: 1. / 2. / 2.2. /2.2.1 / 2.2.2.1 /

Citations

In-text citations will be without italics and within quotation marks. Those citations exceeding 5 lines of text will be indented 1 cm, in a separate paragraph, placed in italics, and lack quotation marks. Following the citation, the bibliographic reference will be included, following the 7th edition of the APA guidelines, which can be downloaded via the following LINK, including a hyphen in the case of authors who need to indicate multiple surnames. Examples:

- Direct parenthetical quotes. (Martín-Vide, 2016, p. 13). (Lozano, 2019, pp. 24-32).

- Direct narrative quotes. According to Sánchez:

The passage of time has infused with didactic value what could be considered, at the beginning, different content, but content that helps to contextualize a time and certain events for the tourist, and whoever observes, not only due to the theme chosen, but also the way of representing it as a tribute five centuries after 1492. (2020, p. 59).

- Parenthetical indirect quotes. (Romero, 2015); (Cambil-Hernández, 2016; Méndez and Monteserín, 2017).

- Indirect narrative quotes. Finally, García Luque (2016) defines ...

Notes will be reserved primarily for clarification or further bibliographic recommendations not cited in the main text. In any case, an effort will be made to avoid their use, except in cases deemed essential. Notes will go at the end of the text, after the BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES section, be numbered consecutively, and preceded by the word "NOTES" in capital letters and without quotation marks.

Tables and figures (images, graphs, diagrams and maps)

Tables: a maximum of five tables per job will be accepted, to be inserted in the text, although they will also be sent in a separate file, to facilitate the layout work (they are to be sent in Word, Excel, etc, never as an image or photograph, to expedite access to the data). The tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals, having a title at the top, and a legend (if necessary) at the bottom; the font will be Times New Roman 12, with single spacing, and centred. If abbreviations are included, they should be adapted to the general rules for the submission of manuscripts (7th edition of the APA rules).

Regarding the images or illustrations, a maximum of 10 illustrations per job will be accepted, which must be sent in JPG / JPEG or TIFF (300 dpi) format, in separate files not to exceed 2MB in size. Their location in the text will be indicated in this way: "INSERT IMAGE 1". Their quality must be adequate for publication. The size of each image will be adapted for the final publication of the manuscript. All images that do not meet these requirements will be rejected.

In a separate file, the numbered list of each image or captions will be sent, including: numbering (in Arabic numbers), title, author, date ... taking the following example as a reference: Fig. 1. Alonso Narvaez. Our Lady of the Rosary of Chiquinquirá or the Virgin of Chiquinquirá. Oil on cotton canvas. 16th century Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Chiquinquirá. Chiquinquirá Colombia.

Table 1. Title of the table [Times New Roman, lowercase, normal, 12pt]

Legend: a legend will be added, if appropriate, just below the table, and before citing the source.

Source: indicating the origin of the data. Compiled by author.

Figure 1. Name of the figure

Source: indicate the origin of the data; for example: Author.

Other considerations

The use of bold is not allowed, except in the title and in the section headings. Neither is the use of underlining allowed.

If acronyms are used, they shall be written without periods, and their meaning will be clarified below, in parentheses. In the event that the same acronyms are used again, the clarification will no longer be indicated.

For the figures, RAE recommendations will be followed. Thus, numbers with more than four digits will not be separated by periods or commas, but rather will be grouped three by three, and will be separated by a hard space (for example: 327 451). Four-digit numbers will be written without separating spaces (for example: 2458 and not 2 458). However, the integer part of a decimal will be separated by a period: 3.1416.
