About the Journal

Focus and Scope

All those students in the process of finishing their university studies who are in the last year of graduate or postgraduate (master's degree) or are doing the doctoral thesis, as well as all those professionals of Art History ( at any level) interested in subjects related to visual arts, aesthetics, philosophy, literature, music, performing arts, design or visual culture in general. It dedicates his majority to research articles, and also has sections reserved for contributions such as criticism of exposition or reviews, as well as bibliographic reviews, art criticisms and a section of Varia dedicated to articles of a shorter length.

 

Peer Review

The editorial committee of the Eviterna previously reviews the contributions received to verify that they comply with the publication standards. It is then submitted to the scrutiny of two expert reviewers of the editorial and editorial board, who review its relevance, quality and clarity. These councils (editorial and writing) are, in their entirety, foreign to the Eviterna. Thus, all contributions to the Eviterna are arbitrated by double peer review system. The author is then notified of the admission or decline of the article to be published, or the admission with reforms. Peer review process: The directors / Editors of Eviterna will supervise the scientific evaluation process. All originals will be evaluated by two experts outside of it. The directors will make the final decision on their acceptance.

Ethics and Best practices

Revista Eviterna expresses its commitment to the academic community in guaranteeing the ethics and quality of published articles. Our magazine has as reference the "Guidelines on good practices for publications" defined by the COMMITTEE OF ETHICS FOR PUBLICATIONS (COPE, in this link: https://publicationethics.org/resources/guideline).

Thus, our magazine guarantees the adequate response to the needs of the readers and authors, ensuring the quality of what is published, protecting and respecting the content of the articles and their integrity. The Editorial Board undertakes to publish the pertinent corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when necessary. In compliance with these good practices, Eviterna has published the arbitration system it adopts for the selection of articles as well as the evaluation criteria that external evaluators must apply - anonymous and in pairs, outside the Editorial Board. Eviterna keeps these criteria updated, based exclusively on the scientific relevance of the article, originality, clarity and relevance of the work presented.

Our journal guarantees at all times the conditionality of the evaluation process: the anonymity of the evaluators and the authors; the content evaluated; the reasoned report issued by the evaluators and any other communication issued by the editorial and editorial boards, if appropriate. Likewise, possible clarifications, claims or complaints that an author wishes to refer to the committees of the journal or the evaluators of the article are affected with the utmost confidentiality.

Eviterna declares its commitment to the respect and integrity of the works already published. For this reason, plagiarism is strictly prohibited and texts that are identified as plagiarism or whose content is fraudulent, will be deleted or not published in the journal (during the process and evaluation plagiarism detection software offered by the Library of the University of Malaga and of manual character https://www.duplichecker.com/ as well as UNICHECK in the case of longer texts).

Thejournal will act in these cases as quickly as possible. By accepting the terms and agreements expressed by our magazine, authors must ensure that the article and the materials associated with it are original or do not infringe copyright. The authors also have to justify that, in the case of a shared authorship, there was a full consensus of all the affected authors and that it has not been presented or published previously in other media.

Authors' responsibilities

Authors must guarantee their manuscripts are product of their effort and that data are obtained in an ethical manner. The manuscript must be original, not previously published or accepted for publication in another place or in another language. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. If the manuscript contains information, which overlap with the previously published works, in press, or under deliberation for publication, the author must cite this work. When authors decide to submit the manuscript to another journal, corresponding author must request Eviterna Direction to withdraw the manuscript.

Authorship of the paper. Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication to Eviterna.

Originality and plagiarism. All published articles in Eviterna are expected to offer scientific improvements in the fields of family business, entrepreneurial family, and allied fields. Authors of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Evidence and underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript.

A paper should contain sufficiently detailed references to permit others to reconstruct its argument. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Third party information and results cannot be used without explicit and authorized mention of the source. It is responsibility of the authors to obtain the necessary permissions for the images with copyright.

The manuscript must be free from any kind of plagiarism, falsification, or fabrications. Authors should minimize recycling their previous writings and clearly cite them. Such self-referencing should be phrased carefully to avoid compromising the double-blind review process. Plagiarism or self-plagiarism is an automatic reason for rejection of the manuscript.

The articles are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License CC-BY-NC-SA. For more information, please visit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0

Data access and retention. Authors need to guarantee that all data in the submitted article are real and accurate and should be prepared to provide public access to such data, and should in any event be prepared to retain such evidence and data for a reasonable time after publication. Eviterna encourages authors to deposit their research data (data underlying publications considered as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation) in their institutional repositories or open access thematic repositories (e.g., repositories within the European Open Science Cloud initiative - EOSC).

Acknowledgement of sources. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the scholarly understanding of the question under study.

Funding acknowledgement. All sources of financial support for the research project must be disclosed.

Conflict of interest. Authors should avoid any kind of conflicts of interest or the presence of conflicts of interest throughout the research process. 

Peer-review process. Authors are obliged to participate in the peer-review process. Authors should respect the confidentiality of that process. The corresponding author who submits a manuscript must inform all the co-authors of the submission process and the results of the review.

Fundamental errors in published works. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify Eviterna Direction and to collaborate with the journal to retract or correct the paper.

Reviewers' responsibilities

Peer review of manuscripts assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist authors in improving the paper. Peer review is an essential component of formal scholarly communication and lies at the heart of the scientific method.

The reviewer is expected to assess the general qualities of a given manuscript as scientific soundness, logical coherence, similarity with other articles and so. The reviewer is supposed to decide whether a manuscript delivers well the main idea of authors and if it needs some corrections into style or clearness to inform the corresponding editor. The reviewer should decide if the manuscript is sufficiently original, if it expands on the research conducted so far in the field.

Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible, should notify the editor and excuse himself or herself from the review process. In principle, the reviewer should be a disinterested party with respect to the author(s) of the manuscript. Best practice is guided by an arm’s length principle. It is incumbent upon reviewers to inform corresponding editor or Eviterna Direction if they become aware of or suspect the possibility of a conflict of interest which might include prior co-authorship, close professional relationship or personal relationship. In this situation, the review must be abandoned.

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments. They should be politically correct and constructive in their reports.

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously formulated should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor’s attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in a reviewer’s own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. When peer-review process is complete, reviewers must destroy the manuscript.

Since 2017, Eviterna publishes yearly the panel of peer-reviewers.

Editorial responsibilities

The editor-in-chief of Eviterna together with the deputy editors are responsibles for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editor-in-chief will endeavor to satisfy the needs of the readership to constantly enhance the quality and impact of the journal, as well as to boost academic and scientific standards. The editor-in-chief is guided by the policies of the Eviterna Editorial Committee and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor-in-chief may confer with other editors (deputy and associate editors) or reviewers in making this decision.

The editors (editors-in-chief, deputy and associate editors) will make fair and impartial decisions and will assure an appropriate and just peer-review process. Editorial decisions are must be established on the relevance of a paper to the journal and on the manuscript’s relevance, originality and contribution. The editors should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

The editors and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and other editorial advisers, as appropriate.

The editors will have no conflict of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors or institutions connected to the papers. When a manuscript is so closely associated to the current or past research of an editor as to create a conflict of interest, the editors-in-chief should assign it to another editor.

A new editorial board was appointed in 2020. Since then, Eviterna have adopted the following policy on the publication of articles by its editors:

- The editor-in-chief will not publish any article during their term, with the exceptions of editorials, annual reviews, and introductions to special issues co-edited by them.

- Papers authored by editors or Editorial Board members will be sent to editors unaffiliated with the authors or institutions and monitored carefully to ensure there is no peer review bias. The submitted papers will be subject to the usual double-anonymous peer review process. 

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.

The editor-in-chief should take reasonably responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper. Such measures will generally include contacting the author(s) of the manuscript or paper and giving due consideration of the respective complaint or claims made, and if the complaint is upheld, the publication of a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note, as may be relevant. Every reported act of unethical publishing behavior must be investigated, even if it is discovered years after publication.

Fundamental errors in published works

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the editor-in-chief of Eviterna and cooperate with the editors to retract or correct the paper. Corrections will be published in the next issue or as soon as the Direction and authors, mutually agree to the modifications.

In instances where an editor finds that a significant error has been published for which a correction needs to be made, and in all cases where there is reason for concern about such matters as plagiarism, fabrication of research, duplicate publication, or conflicts of interest, the Direction of Eviterna will review and resolve the matter in consultation with Editorial Committee. The authors should collaborate accordingly in retracting or correcting the paper. In all instances, the Eviterna is committed to preserving the integrity of the scholarly version of record.

Antiplagiarism

Eviterna maintains an antiplag policy that ensures that all published works are unpublished, through the professional application of the services of various software to scan all proposals. We use the service in all documents that have passed the editorial classification process and are subject to being sent to a peer review. The Journal reserves the decision to reject articles with an inappropriate percentage of similarity. We also have specific plagiarism detection tools from the University of Málaga.

SCOPE

ADDRESSEE

All students in the process of finishing their university studies who are in the last year of graduate or postgraduate (master's degree) as well as all those professionals of Art History (of any level) interested in subjects related to visual arts, aesthetics, philosophy, literature, music, performing arts, design or visual culture in general. This project is born as a free and accessible online magazine so that our commitment and dedication to this work is always kept out of our economic resources, from impartiality, objectivity, vocation and maximum dissemination of its contents.

WHAT IS EVITERNA?

Eviterna (ISSN: 2530-6014) is a non-profit platform, dedicated to the dissemination and exploration of culture and art in general, as well as a space to publicize, in an open and free way, recent small research of all those interested in contributing their work to the project. It is conceived as a magazine of international scope and investigative character that was born in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Malaga, in which the degree of Art History is taught. It was created in November 2016 in an exclusive digital format, with the mission of transmitting news about current and interesting topics in the field of History, culture and Art, as well as informing in a wide and dynamic way in the field of this knowledge space Articles, several and critics will be part of a quality content that can include any moment in the History of Art, as well as any manifestation or artistic tendency of interest in the field that concerns us.

This means of dissemination acquires a semiannual periodicity in response to the need to transfer quality content, after the corrections of the proposals sent to us. Eviterna intends to be a guide for those students who attend the last year of Bachelor and Master who want to start publishing without having the opportunity to do so in other journals with a wide academic career, as a formative complement. We are interested in the promotion and development of all fields of art history research that unfold around it, such as visual and visual arts, aesthetics, philosophy, literature, cinema, performing arts , the design of everyday life or decorative arts, all of them within a wide variety of cultural, historical and artistic periods in all their geographical areas.

Therefore, the general objectives of the magazine seek to offer greater knowledge or approach to the various themes that today deal with artistic practices, both plastic and visual, audiovisual, literary or musical, fundamentally. We seek to promote networking through the creation of a web repository as a digital magazine. We are interested in cultural dissemination, study, debate and analysis, covering the widest possible range of subjects in a platform where professionals of different degrees can express themselves and find a wide variety of content that can be used to train or inform themselves. Under a quality content, innovative, updated and immediate, Eviterna intends to immerse the reader in each of these areas by inviting him to participate in the different realities offered by the transdisciplinarity of today's society, thus promoting the development of projects that serve to reflection from collaboration and innovation.

SCOPE AND IDENTITY OF THE PUBLICATION

Journal in Spanish, of international character, created as a space to publicize, in an open and free way, the recent small research of all those interested in contributing their work to the project. Eviterna is interested in this objective analysis of art through history and culture, its influences and characteristics, thus seeking a broader analysis of artistic history without limitations.

The History of Art is a discipline that understands that any activity or product carried out by the human being with an aesthetic or communicative purpose, expresses ideas or emotions that allow us to know a vision of the world at both a general and particular level through resources of various kinds. Arrived at the twentieth century, the visual arts are no longer restricted only to painting, sculpture and architecture, but the field of study is extended to other delimited disciplines such as aesthetics, philosophy, literature, theory, music, theater and even the history of religions that focus their attention on all those "cultural stories" that manifest a way of thinking in close relationship with the History of Art and the objects of study, demonstrating the multidisciplinary nature of this "science humanistic », from ancient times to the artistic space of contemporary culture of the 21st century in which we currently live and develop.

Eviterna starts in 2017 with a first number that we want, mark the beginning of a consolidation trajectory. We want to obtain, through the quality of your selected articles, the necessary confidence on the part of our target audience to continue with a work that we believe is important, from the point of view of former students and current professionals in this field, who went through the same experiences that the next university graduates and postgraduates are living today.

Through the symbiosis between a new and dynamic web format in its design and a team of vocational and passionate collaborators, we are convinced to have the possibility of having sufficient support, both from the institutional level and from the recipients who want to help make Grow this project with your contributions. A qualified advisory, editorial and scientific council will, without a doubt, maintain a constancy in the work of selection, correction and publication while maintaining the illusion for the work and for what concerns us: History, culture and Art.

CONTENTS

The internal structure of this publication will be configured around the study of artistic and visual culture in general, both in research and in development and training. All this can be developed both in large articles, as in several and critical, of a more limited extent. This includes work carried out during the period of university studies for any curricular subject of degree, end-of-degree or master's projects or ongoing investigations that propose a content in accordance with the identity of the journal.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE ORIENTATION AND SCOPE

Eviterna is a magazine (a priori, digital) about culture and art in general but focused, above all, on students of the last year and master's degree in our university. The intention is to serve as a starting point for those students who have never before had the opportunity to publish, with the purpose of having that first practical experience in the face of the difficulty of publishing in high-impact journals being novel. It is therefore considered as a complement and support for students in training. The process of learning and teaching in this field requires motivation on the part of the student. The educational context is a space where various agents who exchange impressions coexist and interact, conditioning certain types of actions and relationships, which will influence the students' future research. Through Eviterna, a change is sought in the way of setting those objectives set by the student at the end of the career, making them part of the learning within the same training period in which the student needs to acquire the knowledge and develop the relevant skills to to exercise his profession in any of the aspects that are presented to him after concluding his academic period such as, for example, research and materialization of theoretical works in various written formats. The assessment of student performance in this area, remains relevant and fundamental in the teaching-learning relationship (teacher-student / student-student) through evaluation focused on standard academic work (reviews, small essays, summaries).

From Eviterna we believe that in this process of teaching and attitude acquisition, written writing is accompanied by a stronger involvement in classrooms, with projects like this, in which students face their first article (writing, adaptation to appointment standards, search for graphic material without copyright, style norms etc.) paving the way, not only for the completion of a final degree or master project, but also for the possibility of acquiring a good base at the time to write and publish future research in academic / scientific and informative journals in the field of humanities.

Although the Department of Art History already has an art bulletin that is committed to accommodate all these issues from Art History, we propose a kind of subordinate complement to this, aimed at promoting research, disseminating, developing and train their recipients before finishing their training period by motivating them from a flexible, free and innovative point of view without having to wait to finish their training to be able to take them into account. This magazine allows us to put into practice a methodology of educational innovation that seeks to respond to needs in the field of training, reflecting on the concept of the journal itself and oriented towards communication and dissemination of content with great informative value. While it is said that one of the ailments of art in Spain, is the shortage of theoretical production, it is not so much so. There is a wide range of online or digital journals that have proliferated in recent years, however they are all aimed at professionals who have already finished their university training, hence our focus is to cover that gap in a practical and didactic way from innovation.
