Editorial Policy

Reception and Evaluation of Articles

• Antípoda. Revista de Antropología y Arqueología will only receive articles during call periods. These dates can be found on the journal website: https://revistas.uniandes.edu.co/callforpapers/antipoda
• Articles written in a language other than the authors’ native language must be reviewed by a certified translator before application.
• Articles must be submitted through the OJS platform, the link to which can be found on the journal page during the call periods.
• Texts sent to Antípoda cannot be simultaneously under evaluation for another publication.
• Due to the amount of content received by Antípoda in each call, articles, visual essays interviews, — or any other kind of document that has been assigned a identification number (DOI) — by the same author are not published in a period of two years.
• At the end of the call, the internal selection committee evaluates the relevance of the article and verifies strict compliance with the authors’ guidelines and editing regulations. This review makes it possible to establish which articles will be assessed by external peers.
• Antípoda communicates the status of the article within a maximum period of six months.
• The pre-selected articles are then examined using a plagiarism detection tool. When total or partial plagiarism is detected, the text is not sent for evaluation and the authors are notified of the reason for the rejection.
• Articles are assessed by two referees in a double blind procedure. Said referees are selected because of their academic background and at least one of them must have international institutional affiliation.
• A single rigorously argued negative evaluation would be sufficient reason for Antípoda to decide to reject the article.
• The results of the evaluations are sent to the authors to notify them of the rejection or approval conditioned on the modifications suggested by the referees and the journal.
• The author must modify the article using the "Track Changes" tool and attach an explanatory note explaining how the suggestions made by the reviewers and journal have been incorporated. Based on the above, the journal makes its final decision on the publication of the article and communicates this to the author in writing.
• The articles approved for dossiers are published in the corresponding issue, and those with a free theme are published in the issue and year defined by the Antípoda publishing cycle.
• When another written or digital journal wishes to republish an article already published in Antípoda, it should contact the author directly to express its interest in doing so and also request permission from the journal, which is responsible for giving final authorization. Full data of the original publication must be included on the first page of the republication. Antípoda does not authorize the republication of contents until three years after publication in the journal.

• Authors are consulted during the editing and proofreading process to resolve concerns. The editorial team reserves the right to make minor corrections.
• During the process, authors are contacted through the OJS platform. In particular cases, e-mail is used.
• Antípoda verifies the translation of titles, abstracts and keywords sent by the authors. When it is considered that the translations are not adequate, a version produced by the journal’s official translators will be used.
• In cases where articles involve work with communities or individuals, authors must provide evidence of compliance with an ethics protocol and that the study has the informed consent of the participants.
• For photographic series that include persons with identifiable faces, authors must provide the respective informed consent of the subjects portrayed. When portraying minors, parents or guardians should provide informed consent.
• The authors must authorize — by means of written consent to the University — the use of the authors’ property rights (reproduction, public communication, transformation and distribution) to include their article in a specific issue of Antípoda.
• When the article is ready for publication, it will be drafted according to the journal’s design and layout parameters.
• Antípoda is in charge of disseminating the digital version of the contents through the different repositories, databases, and indexers in which it is hosted

Guidelines for the submission of articles

It is an essential requirement that at the time of submission, articles fulfill the specifications established by Antípoda, Revista de Antropología y Arqueología.

Authors assume responsibility for providing high resolution files or files in their original format. It is the authors’ responsibility to obtain and bestow permissions to publish images that require them.

Direct quotations should always appear in quotation marks.
• The article title and abstract must appear in Spanish or the language the article is written in, and in English.

Guidelines for Conversations between Anthropology and Image

The journal invites the academic and artistic community (students, teachers, artists, and artist collectives) to send series of photographic material, paintings, illustrations, collages, comics, or drawings to contribute to the layout of the different sections of the journal. The call is ongoing and open for all those interested to present their collaborative proposals. The information is available at:  https://revistas.uniandes.edu.co/callforpapers/antipoda

Guidelines for Presenting Thematic Numbers

Antípoda. Revista de Antropología y Arqueología will only receive proposals for thematic numbers during call periods. These dates can be found on the journal website: https://revistas.uniandes.edu.co/callforpapers/antípoda

Proposals must:

• Be submitted to antipoda@uniandes.edu.co
• Be written in Word formats, letter-size pages with 2.5 cm margins, 1½ spaced, in Times New Roman 12 point font, page numbers from 1 to N in the upper right-hand corner.
• Proposals should not exceed 1.200 words.

• Contain title, background, theoretical-methodological framework, origin of the proposal, justification, relevance, and themes. Proposals must have five to six keywords in both English and Spanish. The keywords should reflect the content of the proposal.

 Editing Rules 

• Subdivisions in the body of text (chapters, subchapters, etcetera) should be numbered with Arabic numerals, except for the introduction and conclusion, which should not be numbered.
• The first time that initials or an abbreviation is used, it should be written in brackets after the name in full; thereafter only the initials or abbreviation should be used. When the initials contain four or less letters, these should all be uppercase, for example: The United Nations (UN). Where the initials contain five or more letters and these can be pronounced out loud, the first letter should be in uppercase and the others in lowercase, for example: Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (Conicet).
• Direct quotations that contain 40 or more words should be formatted as a long quotation, single-spaced, in size 11 text and with reduced margins.
• Antípoda uses the “Author-Date-References” format from the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style to present references cited in the article. Thus, the required punctuation (comma, period, period and comma, colons, hyphens, etcetera) and information must be taken into account.
• The reference list should include the references that have been cited in the main text. All of the bibliographic references should be strictly organized in alphabetical order, numbered with Arabic numerals, in ascending order and should be listed at the end of the article. It is essential to include the complete names of authors and/or editors in each reference.
• Under no circumstances should op. cit., ibid., or ibidem. be used.
