La Revista

La Revista Interamericana & Europea de Derechos Humanos aspira ofrecer un espacio internacional para la investigación en el ámbito de los derechos humanos relevante para (Latino)América y Europa. Situada en el punto de encuentro entre ambos continentes, la revista busca convertirse en un lugar de intercambio de ideas y puntos de vista entre académicos y profesionales en el ámbito de los derechos humanos de universidades (latino)americanas y europeas, centros de investigación, organizaciones no gubernamentales, etc. Temas generales de derechos humanos interesantes en el ámbito latinoamericano y europeo serán objeto de publicación. Asimismo, se tendrán en cuenta temas de los otros continentes si son relevantes en el contexto de los derechos humanos en el ámbito (latino)americano y europeo. La revista se enfoca tanto a temas jurídicos de derechos humanos como a temas interdisciplinarios. La Revista es publicada dos veces por año. Su Comité Editorial está conformado por investigadores y expertos en el ámbito de los derechos humanos. Una evaluación anónima de la calidad de los escritos es hecha por expertos.

Sometimiento de manuscritos

Los manuscritos deben ser escritos en español o inglés (ortografía Reino Unido) y serán publicados en la lengua en la que fueron entregados. Los escritos deben ser originales. Esto quiere decir que no deben estar bajo consideración de publicarse en otro lugar, y que no han sido publicados previamente en inglés, español u otro idioma. Artículos originalmente publicados en otra lengua podrían, bajo circunstancias excepcionales, ser aceptados para publicarse. El autor debe indicar si este es el caso. Los miembros del Comité Ejecutivo serán quienes decidan sobre su publicación.

Los artículos deben contener entre 5.000 y 10.000 palabras, incluidas las notas al pie de página. Sin embargo, contribuciones más largas serán excepcionalmente aceptadas. Tanto un resumen en la lengua original como en la otra lengua, de no más de 250 palabras, deben ser incluidos en el artículo.

Los manuscritos deberán presentarse en formato Word (.doc), letra Times New Roman 12 (pies de página 10), a doble espacio. Por favor, evitar demasiados códigos.  Las páginas deben ser numeradas de forma consecutiva, incluso los anexos, en la parte inferior derecha. La primera página debe contener, en una nota al pie autobiográfica después del nombre de cada autor, el nombre completo de todos los autores, así como sus afiliaciones académicas o profesionales y la dirección electrónica de cada autor. Todos los manuscritos deben cumplir con las directrices que se pueden descargar aquí.

Los miembros del Comité Ejecutivo harán una evaluación inicial de todos los manuscritos recibidos. Los escritos elegidos serán evaluados por al menos dos miembros del Comité Ejecutivo sobre la base de anonimidad. Los miembros del Comité Ejecutivo se reservan, a su discreción, el derecho de enviar los artículos para una evaluación externa. En todo caso, la decisión final será tomada por los miembros del Comité Ejecutivo, quienes se reservan el derecho de rechazar un manuscrito, o en el caso que un manuscrito sea aceptado, de hacer algunas correcciones o acortar el texto. Cualquier cambio que tenga efecto en la parte sustancial del texto será únicamente realizado con el consentimiento del autor.

Los manuscritos a ser considerados para publicación deben enviarse a: iaehr-journal@UGent.be

The Inter-American & European Human Rights Journal welcomes the submission of unsolicited articles, essays, and comments for consideration by the Editorial Board with a view to publication.

The Journal

The Inter-American & European Human Rights Journal aims to offer an international platform for research in the field of human rights of relevance for (Latin) America and Europe. Situated on the crossroads between both continents, the journal is well-placed to be a place of exchange of ideas and views between academic scholars and practitioners in the field of human rights from both European and (Latin-)American universities, research institutions, non-governmental organisations, etc. General topics on human rights relevant for the European and Latin-American context shall be considered for publication. In the same way, topics from other continents will also be considered for publication if relevant for the European and (Latin-)American contexts. The journal focuses both on human rights law issues as well as interdisciplinary issues. The Journal appears twice a year.

Submissions

Manuscripts must be written in English (UK spelling) or Spanish and will be published in the language in which they were submitted. Manuscripts should be original. This means that a manuscript is not under consideration for publication elsewhere and that it contains work not previously published in English, Spanish or in another language elsewhere. Articles originally published in another language might, in certain exceptional circumstances, be accepted for publication. The author should indicate if this is the case. It is up to the Executive Editors to decide upon acceptance.

Manuscripts should average between 5.000 and 10.000 words in length, including footnotes. However, longer contributions may exceptionally be considered for publication. A summary in the original language of no more than 250 words should be included with the manuscript, as well as a summary in the other language.

Manuscripts should be typed in Word format (.doc) in Times New Roman, point-size 12 (footnotes point-size 10) and double-spaced. Please, avoid too many codes. Pages should be numbered sequentially, including appendices, at the bottom (left) of the page. The title page should list the full names of all authors. The academic or professional affiliations and e-mail address of the each author should be provided in a brief autobiographical footnote after the name of each author. All manuscripts must conform with the author guidelines that can be downloaded here.

The Executive Editors will make an initial screening of all manuscripts received. Selected manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two members of the Editorial Board on the basis of anonymity. The Executive Editors reserve the right to send manuscripts for external review at their discretion. The final decision is made by the Executive Editors, who reserve the right to refuse any manuscript, or, in case manuscripts are accepted, to add certain corrections or shorten them. Any changes affecting the substance of the text will only be made in agreement with the author. Manuscripts to be considered for publication should be sent to: iaehr-journal@UGent.be
