1.   Journal Scope

Historia y MEMORIA is the History journal of Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia. This journal is a means of reflection and dissemination of research experiences in the field of History for researchers, professors and readers. Its pages are meant to become a space of constant dialogue and exchange of reflection on historiographical, epistemological and critical issues, to consolidate and strengthen academic community.

History refers to the permanent dialogue between past and present, change and permanence, duration and event, linear and cyclical, diachronic and synchronic. It refers to a system of thought that gives an account of society in time.  Memory, on the other hand is one of the fields that configure our recent past, constituted by a convergence of practices, social representations, collective imagination, and ways in which the population identifies itself in a context.

The purpose of Historia Y MEMORIA journal is to disseminate unpublished research-based essays and articles in any historiographical field.

Three types of articles, linked to research processes, are accepted:

According to the Publindex Permanent Service Guide for Indexed Journals, articles accepted for blind peer review must correspond to the typology of «Research article»:

The term «research article», refers to a document presenting the original and unpublished results of research processes. These may be reflection or review articles.

- In a reflection article, the author must present research results regarding a specific topic, from an analytical interpretative or critical perspective. Its development is based on original sources.

- A review article must systematize and integrate the results of published or unpublished research, in a given field of history, with the aim of studying its advances and historiographical trends. This kind of article must present a careful bibliographical review of at least 52 references.

2. Periodicity and Publication Frequency

The journal has semesterly periodicity: January-June and July-December. Following international norms on period visibility, issues are published at the beginning of the semester: the first issue (January-June) in February and the second (July-December) in August.

3.    Code of ethics for authors

Authors must:

• Confirm that the material sent to the journal complies with internationally recognized ethical norms.
• Inform the journal of the name of research project the article derives from and the source of research funding (if such is the case); in addition to curricular and correspondance information, as well as confirmation that the article has not been simultaneously sent to another journal. (See Author and Article Information Form).
• Confirm that the article is an original work, resulting from a research process, in compliance with the publication norms established by Historia Y MEMORIA journal. (See Authorization for Use of Intellectual Property Rights).
• Notify the editor immediately if an error is found in the article.
• If necessary, cooperate with the editor in the publication of an Erratum.

4. Evaluation process

Once the article is received, the Editorial Board assesses whether it complies with the journal´s manuscript submission parameters and citation norms. After this, the thematic relevance of the article is studied, in accordance with the objectives of the journal´s “Special section” and “Free Topic Section”. The “Special Section”, corresponds to articles discussing the central topic of each issue, with  established submission times defined by each call for papers; the “Free Topic Section” receives historiographical production articles on diverse topics, and is open year round

After approval by the Editorial Board, the article is evaluated by two anonymous peer reviewers, which may be international or national experts on the topic, and who will conclude their evaluation in 30 calendar days, sending it to the Editorial Committee in the given Evaluation Format.

All evaluation results will be communicated to the author. The article may be approved without modifications, approved with modifications, or definitely denied. If the evaluation is positive, the author will receive the evaluator´s observations, and will adjust and correct the article in a period of no longer than 15 days. The article will be rejected if it is not modified within this period of time, or if it does not incorporate the suggestions in a comprehensive manner. If the article receives one positive and one negative evaluation, it will be submitted to a third reviewer, who´s decision shall be to no appeal. In case of rejection by both evaluators, publication of the article will be automatically denied; this decision will be communicated immediately to the author.

After receipt of the amended article and approval for publication, the author will be informed about its approval and publication, and will be asked to fill in the Authorization for Use of Intellectual Property Rights. By signing this document, the author(s) grants Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia the reproduction, public communication, transformation and distribution rights of this article, in order for it to be included in the journal.

[...] these men, -he said- are the most persistent, the most obstinate (…) the will of the people is clearly against us, for, having read to them here my terrible indictment, they exclaimed that I would first have to pass over their dead bodies, that the Spaniards were selling them, and that they preferred to die than to yield […]
