INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

• Scope and policy
• Form and preparation of manuscripts
• Sending manuscripts

The purpose of Psicoperspectivas, the bi-annual publication of the School of Psychology at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, is to provide a landscape for the exchange and discussion of ideas within the context of contending visions of Psychology and Social Sciences.

Papers published in Psicoperspectivas must be original and unpublished contributions, and must correspond to scientific research, intervention reports, or theoretical and/or methodological debates concerning relevant and current themes in the field of Psychology and Social Sciences, written either in Spanish or English.

From the year 2008 Psicoperspectivas is edited exclusively online, following an open access policy.

All manuscripts are reviewed by two blind peer reviewers. During this process, the names of authors and reviewers are kept secret. The Editorial Team decides upon the acceptance, review-and-resubmition, or rejection of the manuscripts, based on the reviewers’ suggestions. Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, the author(s) must sign a copyright form licensed by Creative Commons Unported 3.0.

Manuscripts must adhere to the Manual of Style for Publications of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition. This includes:

• A maximum of 8.000 words, including References.
• First page: title (in Spanish and English), author(s) and institutional affiliation (institution, address, and e-mail).
• Second page: Title without references to author(s).
  • Third page: abstract (75 to 120 words) and keywords in Spanish and English.
• All manuscripts accepted for revision are sent to two or more experts for their review. The Editor and Co-Editors decide on the acceptance, review-and-resubmition, or rejection of the manuscripts, based on the reviewers’ suggestions.
• At the end of each year, the Journal publishes the list of experts who have participated as external peer reviewers.

In order to submit a manuscript, the author/s must register and login as authors directly on the Journal´s website (www.psicoperspectivas.cl) and upload a .doc or .docx file through the Open Journal System (OJS).
