Submissions for publication in Revista Internacional de Sociología must strictly adhere to the rules contained in the following sections. Submissions that do not comply will be rejected.

Only original papers that have not been previously published and have not been submitted to other journals will be accepted.

Editorial policy

Revista Internacional de Sociología is a publication that accepts various types of research texts (articles, themes and current state of research) in sociology, in its different fields of specialisation, but also in political science, anthropology and social and moral philosophy, which contribute to the progress of the social sciences and to the knowledge of social reality.

RIS aims to achieve the highest possible quality in its publications, applying demanding scientific review criteria.

RIS is a bilingual publication that accepts papers in both Spanish and English.

RIS recommends the use of non-sexist and inclusive language in texts submitted for publication.

In research involving the participation of populations (whether children, young people or adults), the relevance of incorporating sex or gender as a variable of analysis and establishing whether this has had an influence on the results obtained will be considered. Thus, it is expected that the results will mention differences between sexes or due to gender relations or, on the contrary, the absence of differences.

In order to make the work of men and women visible, the list of references should cite the full names of the persons mentioned in the text, avoiding initials as far as possible.

Journal format

Revista Internacional de Sociología is an open access journal. Articles will be published online in HTML, XML and PDF and will be made available to readers, without restriction, immediately after online publication.

Types of contributions

Revista Internacional de Sociología publishes the following contributions:

1) Article
2) Topics
3) Debates
4) State of the Art Review
5) Tribute

1) Article

Articles are original texts that follow the academic structure accepted in scientific journals. They comprise a title, abstract and key words in Spanish and English, an outline of the work’s theoretical rationale and clear statement of aims, a description of bibliographical sources, methodology, results, and discussion thereof, final conclusion, and bibliography.

Articles should be minimum 7000 and maximum 10000 words long, including all sections and appendices. Articles that exceed this limit will not be accepted.

They must follow the presentation layout of the downloadable template.

All references listed in the bibliography must include the DOI.

The use of footnotes is discouraged, but if necessary, these should be used sparingly and always inserted at the end of the document as endnotes.

The sections of the document must not be numbered and must be in lower case bold type.

The Editorial Board may reject an article without previously sending it for external review in cases when the Board considers that the article does not conform to the guidelines, is not in line with the journal’s publishing profile, or does not meet the required publication standards.

Manuscripts which are successful at the pre-evaluation stage will be peer reviewed according to the double-blind review method. They will be presented for external review to at least two specialists in the given subject area.

Nevertheless, at the time of submission authors have the right to propose up to three specialists in the field of the submitted manuscript who may participate in the review process. The proposed specialists cannot be part of the same university department or research institute, they may not have published jointly with the author(s) in the last five years, nor participated with them in the same research project in the last ten years.

The anonymity of all authors and all those participating in the review process is guaranteed at all times.

The Editorial Board will study the reviews and decide whether to accept or reject the article, as well as in which volume and issue it should be published in case it has been accepted.

We will endeavour to notify authors whether their manuscript has been accepted or rejected within a maximum of six months from the moment that the author is informed of the submission of their manuscript for external review. By exception, the Editorial Board reserves the right to extend the above deadline to nine months, in which case all authors will be informed.

2) Topics

A Topic is a publication which focuses on empirical subjects and therefore has a more limited theoretical and analytical development.

These texts will extend to a minimum of 6000 and a maximum of 8000 words in total, including title, abstract, key words, tables, bibliography, and endnotes.

They must follow the presentation layout of the downloadable template.

All references listed in the bibliography must include the DOI.

We will endeavour to notify authors whether their manuscript has been accepted or rejected within a maximum of three months.

4) State of the Art Review

These texts analyse a body of recent publications which are within the same subject area or are connected thematically and may therefore adequately represent the current state of research on a given topic. Proposals related to a single published work or monograph will not be accepted. The works analysed in this section must be duly justified by their scientific and academic significance. The texts must comprise title, abstract, and key words (in Spanish and English). They will be structured as follows: introduction, an outline of the work’s rationale and clear statement of aims, description of bibliographical sources and discussion thereof, a conclusion, and bibliography (differentiating the reference works which motivate the proposed analysis from the rest of the bibliographical sources).

Texts may not exceed the 5000-word limit.

They should follow the presentation layout of the downloadable template.

5) Tribute

A brief text which pays tribute to a person who has made a significant contribution to the research life of the Revista Internacional de Sociología. The Editorial Board will propose people as subjects for these texts.

Special Issues

Revista Internacional de Sociología also publishes special issues. These issues are subject to a process of public tender. The Editorial Board will decide annually whether to call a tender for the publication of a special issue. In case of an affirmative decision, the call of tender will be published in the RIS and notified via its communication channels.

The Editorial Board will select one successful proposal from all those received by the end of the first half of the year in question.

Proposed special issues will comprise at least six articles and no more than seven, as well as a short introduction where the current research in the field of the subject of the monograph is appraised. The articles may be in Spanish or English, but there must be only one language used throughout, that is to say that all articles included must be in the same language. At least five of the articles must receive a positive evaluation from the external review process and from the Editorial Board’s final decision in order for the initial proposal to be published as a Special issue of the RIS.

Proposals must be sent by email to ris@iesa.csic.es and must contain the following information:

1. Title of the Special issue.

2. Name, institutional affiliation, email address, ORCID, and a short biography of the editor(s) and author(s) invited to collaborate in the monograph.

3. A summary of the Special issue’s proposed subject.

4. A rationale of the proposal providing context and academic scope within the field of social sciences, highlighting in particular its relevance from a sociological perspective, as well as the contribution that will be made to the current state of research. The proposal must stand out as original and innovative, and the question to which it intends to contribute must be clearly stated.

5. Authors, titles, abstracts (250 words) and key words of the articles which form part of the Special issue. The direct link of every article’s abstract to the overall contribution of the monograph will be valued positively; each article must be explicitly related to the object of the monograph.

6. A dissemination plan for the monograph.

Procedure and responsibilities for invited editors

Any proposals received will be evaluated by the Editorial Board at the Revista Internacional de Sociología according to the following criteria: originality of proposal, contribution to the current state of the art and the specific research area, the experience of the invited editors in a particular area of investigation, the experience of the invited editors and authors in the publication of scientific journals, originality of contributions in the form of articles, clarity and precision of the proposed contributions, coherence between the articles and the Special issue as a whole, as well as the overall meeting of the RIS publication standards.

Once a proposal has been selected, the editors will be informed about the procedure to follow, as well as the changes or modifications, if any, that need to be made to the original. Invited editors commit to following the publishing guidelines of RIS.

All contributions to the Special issue will be evaluated following the normal procedure set out by RIS.

The Editorial Board may reject the publication of the monograph in cases when the submitted articles do not meet the deadlines or the quality criteria established by RIS.

Frequency of publication

Revista Internacional de Sociología publishes an annual volume comprised of four quarterly issues.

REVIEW POLICY

The submission of a manuscript to any section of the journal does not automatically imply its acceptance for publication.

All submissions are reviewed initially by members of the Editorial Board who will evaluate if the content is in line with the journal’s publishing standards, if the manuscript adheres to the criteria established for each section, and if the manuscript submission guidelines have been fulfilled.

Any article, part of a Special issue or not, that passes this initial evaluation will go through to a second round of peer review according to the double-blind review method. In case any revisions are required, suggestions will be made available to all those named as authors, so that they can carry out the required modifications.

The Editorial Board is solely responsible for taking the final decision about manuscript publication.

PREPARING YOUR PAPER

RIS journal uses iThenticate software as a plagiarism detection tool.

Accepted articles will appear in the "Latest Issue" section as soon as the proofs are checked by the authors and RIS. No changes can be made to the article after it has been published online. The dates of receipt, acceptance and online publication will appear at the beginning of each article. The corresponding author will receive the PDF and is responsible for the final version of the published articles.

Submission format

IMPORTANT: it is compulsory to include the ORCID number next to the authorship affiliation. If you are not registered, you can register in ORCID, free of charge, through the website https://orcid.org/register.

Authorship contribution statement

This journal applies the CRediT taxonomy for identifying authorship contributions based on the assignment of
specific roles to research articles. For more information see "Submissions/Authorship identification". This information should be incorporated in the full version of the manuscript (Microsoft Word file, LibreOffice, or a compatible format), under an "Authorship contribution statement" heading, located just before the abstract, in the following format (see downloadable Microsoft Word template):

Authorship contribution statement
Name and Surname author 01: Conceptualization, Formal analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Writing – original draft, Writing – review & editing.
Name and Surname author 02: Conceptualization, Formal analysis, Investigation, Methodology, Writing – review & editing.

c. Abstract. Articles must include an abstract of a maximum of 150 words in both Spanish and English, stating the objectives, approach and conclusions of the work.

d. Key words. A maximum of 5 key words, in Spanish and English, not included in the title, should be included.

e. Drafting of the text and presentation. The text should be clear, concise and inclusive. Texts may be written in Spanish or English. Notes will be accepted, as long as they are the minimum necessary and placed at the end of the text.

f. Tables, figures and photographs. The number of tables, figures and photographs should be limited to those that are truly representative. They should be numbered consecutively as they appear in the text and each one should have an explanatory title at the top and a caption at the bottom, indicating the source. If they are not self-produced, the source must always be indicated.

Tables, figures, graphs and photographs should be included in the text in their corresponding place. They must also be sent in JPEG or TIFF format, in a single compressed ZIP or RAR file. Photographs and figures must have a minimum resolution of 300 pixels per inch for publication.

g. Formulas and/or mathematical expressions. They must be inserted in Word or LibreOffice itself, but under no circumstances must they be incorporated as images.

h. References. References follow the ASA format adapted for use in Spanish and the inclusion of the full first name instead of the initial.

References to publications appearing in the body of the text

References in the body of the text should follow the following format: if the authorship is individual (Schiebinger 1989: 89). When the work being cited is of multiple authorship, the following guidelines should be followed: in the case of two signatures, the surnames should be separated by "and" (Latour and Wolgart 1979); in the case of three, the surnames should be separated by a comma except for the last two only separated by "and" (Pycior, Slack and Abrir-Am 1996); and for four or more signatures, use et al. (Cruces et al., 2004).

If several citations are mentioned together, they should be arranged in chronological order and separated by semicolons (Dunlap 1991; Greene 2008; Endersby 2009). When references are by the same author, publication dates should be separated by semicolons (Creager 2002; 2007; 2013).

All references cited in the body of the text must be included in the References section and vice versa. They will always be included at the end of the work, alphabetised by the surname of the first author. When the reference is an article with a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), this must always be indicated at the end of the reference. To check whether or not a bibliographic reference has a DOI, it can be consulted at the following address (it can be searched individually or by blocks): http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery.

When a literal citation is included, the specific page should be included (Bourdieu 2000: 24) (Walby 2021: 24). If more than one work published in the same year by the same author is mentioned, the year is postponed by a lower case letter as an ordinal (Sen 1999a; 1999b). If you want to include the specific pages of the works published in the same year, this should be indicated as follows: (Sen 1999a: 55; 1999b: 376). If you want to cite two publications by the same author, but in different years (Barbarosa 1973; 1978).

If the name of the author already appears in the sentence, only the date of the work is included: "The republicanism of Sunstein (2006) and Pettit (2007) differs...".

When you want to cite two or three authors of a publication, all the names will appear: (Kelly, Colter and Lane 1980). If the publication has been written by more than three authors (Turner et al. 1987).

If you want to reference different authors in different years, start with the most recent work: (Confucius 1951; Gurdjieff 1950; Wanisaburo 1926).

When a corporate or institutional authorship is cited for the first time, the full name of the institution should be included (National Institute of Statistics 2009). In subsequent citations, the acronym may appear (INE 2009).

If two authors with the same surname are to be mentioned, the first initial of their first name should be indicated in order to differentiate between them (B. Ripley 1988; R. Ripley 1964).

In the case of a reprint that is very distant in time from the original publication, the latter can be specified in square brackets to make it easier for the reader to understand the chronology of the publications; a modern reprint of Marx's text can be cited as (Marx [1867] 1975), but this is not essential.

If chapters, indexes or tables are to be specified (Neuman 1994, table 3.3) or (Clawson 1998, ch.2).

Bibliography

The bibliography used - i.e. only that which is referred to in the text - should be double-spaced at the end of the article, arranged alphabetically by author's surname and first name. Surname and first name will be repeated in each entry if several works by the same author are cited.

If the author has produced several works in the same year, a lower case letter is placed after the year as an ordinal.
