Types of Contributions

PALIMPSESTO, Chilean Journal of Gender Studies, is a peer-reviewed publication that receives original and unpublished contributions in the following formats:

• Empirical Articles (11,000 words maximum). Works aimed at disseminating the results of research with a gender or intersectional perspective, or that address issues related to gender relations.

• Theoretical Works and Essays, which contribute to the discussion and generation of new problematizations, concepts, and approaches within a theoretical discussion (11,000 words maximum).

• Reviews. Critiques of books or other publications (3,000 words maximum).

• Interviews with key researchers, activists, or figures in the field of gender and intersectional studies.

• Dossier. The journal will continue to accept proposals for Dossiers, understood as a section of the journal dedicated entirely to a specific theme. These can be proposed externally or by a member of the Editorial Committee. In both cases, an open call will be issued, and the articles will be evaluated following the journal's guidelines. (Please consult the guidelines for Dossier submissions).

• In Perspective. Another new feature is the inclusion of a section inviting a specialist to present a critical commentary on a public policy with a gender perspective. These can be proposed externally or by a member of the Editorial Committee. (Please consult the guidelines for the submission of Public Policy Commentaries).

Article Preparation Guidelines

All contributions to the journal Palimpsesto must adhere to the following presentation requirements:

• Format: Microsoft Word (.doc) should be used, letter size, with a 2.5 cm (1-inch) indentation or margin on all sides. Documents must be justified left and right, without special tabulations, and only one additional blank line between titles and paragraphs.

• Official Languages: Spanish, English, and Portuguese.

• Title: Must be brief, concise, and appropriate to the topic; written in Times New Roman (TNR) font size 16. At the end of the title, in a footnote indicated by an asterisk (*), include the work's origin: if it comes from a research project (title, registration, sponsoring agency, year); a presentation, conference (venue or context); if it is personal or collective work; the type of academic writing: research article, review article, essay. The title should not use acronyms or abbreviations. Immediately below the title in the official language, the English translation must be placed, in TNR font size 14.

• Abstract, Keywords: Next, in TNR font size 11, include an abstract presenting the relevant elements of the work: the research problem, inquiry strategy, and results. This abstract must not exceed 8 lines of text or 650 characters without spaces. Then, in a separate line, include five keywords related to the text's content. Both the abstract and the keywords must be translated into English in a separate paragraph as the Abstract and Keywords.

• Body Text: Must be written in TNR font size 12, single-spaced. Minimum length: 8 pages; maximum: 30 pages. The writing must adhere to the style of a scientific paper, complying with the IMRAD strategy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMRAD). In general, the traditional structure of Introduction, Problem, Results, and Conclusions should be followed. At the end of the text, all bibliographic references and sources must be included, ordered by medium and alphabetically. Only references actually consulted and used should be included, avoiding all unnecessary and pedantic padding. Optionally, at the end of the text (before the Bibliography), brief acknowledgments may be included. Italics are mandatory for the names of newspapers and journals (not in quotation marks). Furthermore, literal intertextual quotations of medium length (3 to 5 lines) should have a left indent and right justification, font size 12.

• Citation: APA (American Psychological Association) 7th edition citation rules must be followed.

• Graphics and Images: If the contribution contains images or graphics, these must be sent separately in JPEG format with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi, in a compressed folder containing the different files. They must also be numbered consecutively, and explicit mention of them must be made in parentheses within the text.
