Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • If you are sending an article, make sure that your identity does not appear anywhere in it.

Author Guidelines

  1. Articles must be submitted by registering in the role of author at http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar, in the journal El oído pensante, in files compatible with the Word for Windows program (in “doc” or “rtf” format). In case of having any difficulty, you can contact eloidopensante@gmail.com
  2. The articles must have a minimum length of 5000 words and a maximum one of 10000, and the reviews of 1500 and 2000 respectively. In both cases with the bibliography included.
  3. The author who has published in our journal will have to wait for at least two years to send another proposal.
  4. The articles must be written in the following format: A4 size; 2.5cm left, right, top and bottom margins; Times New Roman size 12-pt font; justified alignment, line spacing 1. No indentations or tabulations should be used.
  5. On the first page of an article, the following must be included:
    • Title in Spanish, Portuguese and English (Times New Roman size 14-pt font, bold type, centered);
    • Abstract in Spanish, Portuguese and English, up to 200 words (Times New Roman size 12pt font, single line spacing, justified);
    • Three to five keywords in Spanish, Portuguese and English (Times New Roman size 12-pt font, single line spacing, justified), separated from each other by commas.
  6. Citations coming from other sources of less than three lines must be inserted in the text between quotation marks, followed by their reference, in accordance with the author-date system (e.g. Pérez, 2010, p.73). Citations longer than three lines must be included in a different paragraph, using size 11-pt font, without inverted commas and single-line spacing.
  7. In the case of citations in a foreign language, they must appear translated in the central body of the text and in their original language in a footnote.
  8. The use of footnotes (Times New Roman size 10-pt) is advisable to provide secondary information. Do not include full bibliographic references in them. However, articles with more than 30 footnotes will not be accepted.
  9. If images, musical transcriptions or other materials are included, the insertion place must be indicated in the text and a separate tiff-format, 1000 x 1000 pixel-resolution file, must be separately sent.
  10. At “complementary file” (fourth step of the on-line submission) the author’s biographic information, their institutional belonging and email must be included (maximum length 120 words).
  11. El oído pensante adopts the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition international standard for its references. Bibliographical references must be placed at the end of the article and all the authors or articles cited in the principal body must be included (and vice versa). No bibliography must appear which is not cited in the article. No more than 40 bibliographic entries per article will be accepted.
    • Each reference must begin with French indentation and be alphabetically and chronologically ordered (the oldest in the first place).
    • The format of the citations begins with the surname of the Author(s) in capital/small letters, initials of the name(s) followed by a full stop (several authors, separated by a comma adding before the last author the connector ‘and’).
    • In the citations in English, use capital letters in all the words of the titles, except for prepositions, articles and linkers.
    • A citation of the same author with a publication date in the same year will be alphabetically ordered by title of the work, without taking into account the initial articles of the title; works will be differentiated by alphabetically adding a small letter to the year.

Documents and other sources

References to documents and written sources such as laws, pamphlets, newspapers and weeklies which are a source of news and not of opinion of their authors or publishers, will go in a special section under the subtitle “Other sources consulted” after the bibliographic references.

On the date of the referenced works

The date of the cited reference must be only the one of the work/edition effectively consulted. In the case of old works, it will only be allowed to add the original date in the bibliographic reference when their author(s) are not known by the scientific community and/or such works do not belong to the thematic field treated in the article and the original date of creation is necessary to contextualize their production. In those cases it is allowed to reference both dates, consulted edition and original, in the following way:
