5. Those who present texts must be teachers, researchers and professionals linked to the areas of study addressed. When registering on the platform where the magazine is hosted, each person must complete the information related to their personal resume. It is recommended to preferably include the identifying links in ORCID and Google Scholar; and, in a second order, those of Academia.edu, ResearchGate and AutoresRedalyc.

Those who coordinate the monograph or especial issue will be able to sign the introduction, having a maximum of 8,500 words, but may not also sign any of the other articles in the dossier. The dossier must guarantee the diversity of geographical origin and the authors’ disciplinary dedication, gender parity and heterogeneity of affiliation.

All originals belonging to the monograph or special issue will be subject to blind peer review.

The Editorial Board will be able to make an open call for papers when appropriate.

It is recommended to use the coding of the Funding project both in the Metadata and in the PDF of the published article.

4. Of the reviews

4.1. Articles and various

Proposals received at the close of each call will be submitted to a first review process by the Editorial Team, checking:

- suitability with the academic line of the journal;

- the notable interest presented by the proposal and the wealth of exhibitions used;

- accommodation to style / editorial standards and proper spelling correction;

- and, the completion of the personal profile of each author on the platform, including their ORCID identifying profile. After passing this first screening, the texts, always devoid of any allusion to their authorship, are subjected to a blind peer review carried out by external, national and international professionals, of recognized prestige in their areas of knowledge.

The same proposal may be sent to up to three reviewers to carry out their pertinent evaluation. Once the reports prepared by the people who carry out the external reviews are received, they will be sent by the Editorial Team to those who have signed the text, within a period of no more than three months from the closing date of the call for applications. Three possible results can be given: - Accept the shipment. The text will go to the next editing phase - Publishable with modifications. A reasonable period of time will be granted to the author to incorporate a series of suggestions into the original text. These will be evaluated again to check if, indeed, they are in line with what is contained in the reports. - Refuse the shipment. Its publication is not considered appropriate based on the criteria justified in the evaluation reports.

4.2. Exhibition reviews and bibliographic reviews These works will be evaluated only once by the Editorial Team of Eviterna.

5. Sending the text

They are carried out through the OJS platform on which Eviterna is hosted. The first thing the author must do is register in this and log in (https://revistas.uma.es/index.php/eviterna/user/register and https://revistas.uma.es/index.php / eviterna / login).

Proposals will be sent using the corresponding template (link here), in MS-Word .docx format. The name of the file will respond to the first five words of the title, separated by hyphens (Ex: Inpiración_clásica_en_la_arquitectura.docx).

Of the text format

1. The template is made in DIN A4 format, using the typeface called Malacitana, a free-use font from the University of Malaga. Each author must proceed with the download and installation on their computer ( template prior to working on the template prior to working on thetrue&sd=true).
2. The guidelines indicated in the template should be followed for each of the essential elements of the text (titles, abstracts, keywords, body of the text, headings, etc.).
3. Photographs, illustrations and tables are incorporated throughout the body of the text, between different paragraphs. See the indications of point 3.5.
4. Regarding the verbatim citations, these should not exceed 20% of the text as a whole. Those that exceed the three lines of extension will go in a separate paragraph (see the indications of the template), not having to exceed 10 lines; While those that do not, will go inside the text with Latin or Spanish quotation marks («»).
5. The citation of sources used in the study will be carried out in the body of the text, following the APA parenthetical citation model in its latest version (https://www.psyciencia.com/formato-pagina-normas-apa- 7th-edition /). It is recalled that all data or ideas that come from a study must be referenced since the opposite is considered plagiarism and will be a reason for rejection, leaving the signer of the proposal at the expense of the application of the corresponding legal regulations. In the same way, it is remembered that the appointment must be justified and relevant, avoiding any meaningless and gratuitous reference

6. Style recommendations

- Eviterna shares the values ??of the University of Malaga; among them, the one referred to equality between women and men, as well as social equity. Together with this and other public institutions, we defend that in all teaching, research and editorial activities an egalitarian language is used, avoiding sexist, discriminatory, ambiguous or degrading biases. To do this, take into account the recommendations of UMA editorial (Style Guide for Publishing Service of Publications and Scientific Dissemination).

- The use of adjectives and topics such as 'at the level of…', 'by…', 'exceptional work…' as well as abstract space-time references ('in our country', 'this year' should be avoided , 'at that time'…) The use of names, surnames or titles written in full in capital letters will be dispensed with, limiting these only to known acronyms.

- If the texts are written in Spanish, it is not necessary to use words from other languages ??when there are similar voices accepted by the RAE. If used, it will be by imperative necessity and may be in italics.
