Author Guidelines

Authors guidelines

1. Conditions of acceptance

The journal of philosophy Tábano is an open academic publication, which receives works from authors from our University, as well as from other institutions, both national and foreign. 

Philosophical works will be accepted in the form of academic articles, lectures, papers and book reviews, as well as philosophical reflections of a personal nature. The Editor will judge the convenience of other formats in extraordinary situations.Contributions must be in Spanish or English or be susceptible of being translated into these languages.

Submissions must be original and unpublished, i.e., they must not have been previously published in journals or other peer-reviewed publications. Manuscripts that have been delivered as unpublished lectures or conference papers are nevertheless accepted, as are those previously posted on preprint servers (such as SocArXiv or SSRN). In such cases, the repository where the work was shared must be explicitly indicated. Authors are also encouraged to disseminate their preprints on such platforms. Exempt from these requirements are works by authors specially invited by the Editorial Committee, in view of their prestige and academic excellence.

 

The authors of the articles published in the journal Tábano concede their rights to the publisher, on a non-exclusive basis, to incorporate the digital version of the same to the Institutional Repository "Digital Library of the Catholic University of Argentina" as well as to other databases considered to be of academic relevance. Tábano does not charge any fee for the publication of articles.

2. Basic format for submission

Submit, through the platform, an ANONYMIZED copy in electronic format (MS Word or compatible).

The submission must be formatted according to this template.

For citation and bibliographic references, we follow APA style (7th edition).

Datasets are research outputs that, like articles and books, must be cited correctly. Proper citation facilitates identification, validation, and reuse, and promotes scientific transparency. In APA style, data should be included in the final reference list and, where appropriate, also mentioned in the body of the text. The suggested format is as follows:

Surname, Initial. (Year). Title of dataset [Dataset]. Name of repository. URL or DOI

Example: Pérez, J. (2023). Argentina climate data 2023 [Dataset]. National Scientific and Technical Research Council. https://ri.conicet.gov.ar/handle/11336/256789

The main text of the article must be between 5,000 and 9,500 words (including the abstract and keywords).

Reviews must cover recent publications (last three years) and be no longer than 2,500 words.

Articles must be accompanied by an English translation of the title and an abstract of 100–150 words, in Spanish and also in English.

Please suggest four or five keywords that identify the main topics developed in the article, both in Spanish and in English.

In a separate file, please indicate the author’s name, contact email, ORCID, and institutional affiliations (maximum two).

Authors are also requested to include a brief curriculum vitae in paragraph form, which will be included in the article.

Authors must state their specific contribution to the article, using the CRediT taxonomy (Contributor Roles Taxonomy), available at: https://hdlab.space/taxonomia/?q=CRediT. This taxonomy aims to specify and credit all roles that are part of a research project throughout its entire process. In this way, the work of all agents involved in the project is acknowledged, and not only results but also processes are made visible. This statement must be added to the brief Curriculum Vitae included with the article.
