Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Originality

Submitted works must be original and unpublished, meaning they must not have been previously published nor be under review by other journals simultaneously. Manuscripts that have been deposited in institutional repositories or preprint servers are accepted, provided that this circumstance is indicated at the time of submission.

Furthermore, when submitting a manuscript for review and possible publication in our journal, authors must be aware of and strictly adhere to the ethical principles of anthropology. Among other points, this implies that:

  1. The research conducted must respect the rights and dignity of the individuals and communities involved. Informed consent must be obtained and participant confidentiality must be respected.
  2. The submitted work must not contain plagiarism or self-plagiarism. All data, ideas, and resources from other authors must be properly attributed.
  3. The text must be honest and transparent in presenting research results. Data manipulation or falsification is prohibited.
  4. Cultural differences must be respected and stereotyped or biased representation of human groups must be avoided.

It is the authors' responsibility to ensure that their work complies with these ethical principles. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in manuscript rejection or disciplinary actions as appropriate.
