Author Guidelines

Current call

The journal Sendas - ISSN 2618-2254 brings together articles based on the Final Degree Projects produced by recent graduates of art degrees in Spanish and Portuguese. In its first volumes, Sendas brought together a series of works produced by graduates of the Faculty of Arts of the National University of Cordoba (Argentina) based on research carried out as part of their Final Degree Projects. Sendas is currently committed to opening up the game to other university institutions with art degrees and to the different academic paths, both professorships and undergraduate degrees.

Call for papers requirements

The articles to be presented must be based on the Final Projects approved in artistic careers, with a mark of no less than 8 (eight), with an antiquity of up to 5 years.
Submissions must follow the publication guidelines detailed below and must be submitted using the corresponding template: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nzdw1xJDhD3A-z0VRyj3zbkCv5MEIzAC/view
The articles must be submitted together with a note of endorsement from the director/co-director of the TF (also digital) and the analytical certificate, stating the grade obtained.

Evaluation process

Manuscripts are read by the editorial board and editors of the journal, who evaluate their relevance and quality. If adjustments are required, the manuscripts are returned to their authors for changes. If the editors consider that the required corrections have been made, the articles are then evaluated by referees from outside the author's home university using the blind peer review system.
The evaluators consider as criteria for research processes in the arts: the treatment of the theory-practice relationship, the approach to problems anchored in the artistic field, the adequate development of the systematisation of the work or the production process and the commitment to venture into artistic realisation. In terms of formal aspects of the text and style, it is observed that the writing complies with the editorial guidelines of the journal (length, format, etc.), is clear and legible, responds to the objectives suggested by the author, that the title matches the content of the article, that the keywords and the summary are appropriate, that the writing is correct and does not present grammatical or spelling mistakes and that the bibliography is up to date.
The referees may approve, approve with minor changes, approve with major changes or not approve the papers. In the event that the referees request modifications for the final approval of the papers, the journal's management will notify the authors that they will have a certain period of time to make the corresponding changes. The publication process requires 8 to 10 months.

Paper profile

The objectives of the paper should be explicitly stated in the introduction and fulfilled in the body of the paper. The topic to be developed and the arguments supporting it should be clearly presented. The paper should identify a problem to which it offers an original contribution (thesis or position). The bibliography used must be relevant.
