Author Guidelines
The manuscripts submitted to the journal RIPARIA must comply with the following guidelines:
The proposed manuscripts should be unedited scientific papers dealing with interactions between society and the natural environment in waterside areas (including coastal areas) from various perspectives: methodological, historical, juridical, philological, archaeological, geographical, etc.
RIPARIA is managed through the Open Journal Systems. Thus, those authors interested in submitting originals papers must register previously as platform users through the following address http://reuredc.uca.es/index.php/sig/user/register , and then proceed in this way to send the work (texts and additional files). If experience any technical problem, authors can contact the magazine via e-mail: revista.riparia@uca.es
They should be submitted in OpenOffice, MicrosoftWord, RTF or Word Perfect format.
The contributions will be headed by the title, author’s name, academic/institutional affiliation and/or some reference to his research work; an abstract in the author’s own language where applicable and in English (up to 150 words), key words in the author’s own language and in English (up to 5 words), his postal and Email addresses. At the end of the manuscript will be indicated the date of its composition. It will be accepted maximum 15 pages of text and 10 figures maximum for paper (maps, tables, photographs...)
The manuscripts sent to the Thematic and Varia sections will undergo a peer review process (which in case of disagreement may involve a third valuation) securing the double-blind, so that the text sent to the reviewers should not include data that may identify the author.
Authors will be notified reception of their manuscript and will receive the report of the reviewers, with reasoned suggestions for revision where needed, as well as the journal’s decision to accept or refuse the proposed manuscript.
The authors should send the revised proofs of their proposed manuscript no later then 30 calendar days following their reception of the proofs sent by the journal, after which, in the absence of any corrections, the unmodified proofs will be considered by the journal as approved for publication.
