Author Guidelines

Colirium: Journal of Representational Studies and Represontology, through these guidelines, aims for excellence and originality in scientific production. Below are the instructions for article submission:

Originality and Literature Review:
The research presented in the article must be original and not limited to a literature review.

The goal is for the article to contribute significantly and uniquely to the field of study, exploring new perspectives, proposals, or solutions.

Citations of Classic Works:
The article must include at least one citation from a classic or established work in the field in which the research is situated. This demonstrates the author's theoretical mastery of the academic tradition and places the article in a relevant dialogue with major scholarly milestones.

Citations of Foreign Language Works:
To ensure internationalization and dialogue with global academic production, it is necessary to cite at least one impactful work in a foreign language, prioritizing English. However, references in Spanish, French, Italian, German, or other relevant languages are also accepted for research submitted to the journal.

Citations of Latin, African, and Asian Authors:
The article must cite at least one work by authors from Latin America, Africa, or Asia. This guideline aims to promote academic diversity and highlight the scientific contributions from regions historically underrepresented in global academia.
