TYPES OF PUBLICATIONS
- a) Scientific and technological research article. A document that presents in detail the original results of rigorous research projects that provide new findings and pertinent relevance, according to the content of the proposed topic. The structure generally used contains four important sections: introduction, methodology, results, and conclusions.
- b) Reflection article.A document that presents research results from an analytical, interpretive, or critical perspective of the author, dealing with a specific topic and using original sources.
- c) Review articleIt is the result of an investigation where the results of published or unpublished research on a field in science or education are analyzed, systematized, and integrated in order to account for advances and development trends. It is done from an analytical, interpretive or critical perspective of the author, dealing with a specific and of special interest topic, based on the available literature and original sources in a certain period of time. The methodology of the literature selection and the category and object of analysis must be indicated.
ARTICLE STRUCTURE
The structure of research articles that authors must follow when submitting is presented. Other types of articles should follow the same structure, as long as their typology or nature allows it. The structure is as follows:
- a) Title:: It should be brief and clearly express to the reader the topic of the article. It must be in Spanish and English. It should be descriptive, brief, and concise. The editor may suggest modifications in order to improve the impact and comply with Revie's regulations.
- b) Abstract: It It should be in a range of 150 to 250 words, providing a brief overview of the problem to be addressed, the main objective of the research or reflection, the methodology used, an idea of the results found, and the conclusion reached. The abstract should be in Spanish and English.
- c) Keywords:This section should contain between three (3) and five (5) keywords, both in Spanish and English. These words should be alphabetically ordered and separated by commas. It is suggested to consult the UNESCO Thesaurus and the ERIC Thesaurus to select the keywords of the article (https://bit.ly/2e5jV1v, https://eric.ed.gov/) as this makes it possible for readers to easily find the article through digital search engines.
- d) Introduction: In this section, the general aspects of the article are briefly indicated, emphasizing the importance, origin, objectives of the study, and providing sufficient information to clarify the approach of the work. The importance of the situation to be addressed should be emphasized, as well as the attempts and precedents of other researchers. A clear delimitation of the problem, the main objective, as well as the clarity of the idea to be defended or the working hypothesis, should be stated. It should contain a direct bibliographic relationship related to the research problem in different geographical contexts.
- e) Methodology:: It is important for the reader to be able to evaluate the type of theory followed and the corresponding methodology used to reach the results and that they are verifiable. The strategies, methods, and scientific research techniques and tools used should be described in detail, including the conceptual and operational definitions of the variables used. The methodological information should be clear so that others can replicate the study and verify the results.
- f) Results and Analysis: : In this section, the obtained results are presented. They should be presented clearly and without value prejudices and should be described as they were obtained from the research. A summary of the collected data should be presented, and the most relevant data should be analyzed. Results can be better presented using tables, graphs, and figures, avoiding duplicating information.
- g) Discussion: A brief discussion of the results obtained should be carried out, relating them to those of other published works on the same aspects, indicating contributions and discrepancies.
- h) Conclusions: It is convenient to prominently add the conclusions obtained with the support of the study's data. If necessary, limitations encountered in the development of the research should be explained. The conclusion should be coherent with the study's objectives and the obtained data, and whether the working hypothesis was validated or not.
- i) Declarations:
The author, according to their specific case, will assess the relevance of including some or all of the following statements in their writing:
- • Acknowledgments: gratitude is expressed to those who significantly contributed to the research.
- • Funding: it is declared whether the project had funding or not from a public or private institution and who provided the resources.
- • Availability of data and materials: it indicates who to contact or where the data is available.
- • Authors' contribution: in the case of multiple authors, it indicates each one's contribution.
- • Ethical approval and consent of participants: it indicates which ethics committee approved the project and whether the participants signed the informed consent.
- • Conflict of interest: the authors declare if there are conflicts of interest and of what nature.
- j) References: references should be placed on a separate page. Any work to be published in Revie must include at least 20 bibliographic references. Only the references cited in the text should be included in the list. At least 60% should correspond to works published in the last 5 years. Self-citations should not exceed 10% of the references.
Revie requires that authors adhere to the formatting and style guidelines for citations and references found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), 7th edition. The Revie article template contains the format that the reference section in the journal should be presented for easy adaptation by the authors. Whenever possible, the URL and DOI (Digital Object Identifier, which can be obtained at https://search.crossref.org) should be provided for each reference.
