TYPES OF ARTICLES, SUBMISSION DATES, AND FORMAT

Avante Journal, part of the Observatorio Ñuble Foundation, publishes original articles that are the results of research, essays, reviews, systematization of processes, as well as theoretical innovations on debates, interpretations, or investigative assessments within the field of humanities and social sciences. Articles on other topics may also be authorized by the Editor, provided they aim at human development or are related to current affairs.

Submissions can be in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, but initial versions in other languages, such as French, Italian, or German, are also accepted. If approved, the author must provide the final version translated into Spanish. However, authors may request that the text be published in its entirety in the original language, which the journal will accept as long as the translation process is respected.

Submission dates for articles are announced in the respective calls for papers. Articles submitted to Avante Journal for evaluation must not be under review in another publication simultaneously. Authors are advised to read the journal’s Ethical Policies before submission.

Submissions must be made through the journal's platform. For any questions or additional requests, authors may contact: mgutierrez@observatorionuble.cl
