Authors interested in publishing in the journal may submit their manuscripts under any of the following categories: bibliographic review, reflection or analysis, or research (partial or final results) articles. Research articles, due to the specific nature of the School of Fine Arts of Universidad Pedagógica Nacional de Colombia, can be works of artistic creation with their respective reflection on the creative and pedagogical experience, or they can also be essays, with a working hypothesis, arguments that validate or invalidate these hypotheses and, in both cases, an introduction, methodology, analysis of results and conclusions. The formal conditions for submitting papers to the editorial committee are:

Graphs, musical scores, photographs or tables must have print quality, and should include a title and source. • Upon submitting the material, collaborators should check the technical aspects of the texts; for instance: that footnotes are consecutively numbered, and check the use of underlined and bold text, asterisks, and other marks.
Include, in the first page of the paper, a summary or introduction (of no more than five lines) of the author's curriculum vitae with his or her institutional affiliation, more recent publications, and e-mail.

Types of papers

Research paper. Papers submitted as the results of a research must explicitly include the sections on theory (concepts), methodology, results or findings, and conclusions. Furthermore, the heading hierarchy of these sections must be duly numbered using the Arabic system (1., 1.1., 1.2., 2. etc.) according to advances and trends of a research object. References or documents consulted should be solid and broad enough according to the field or topic subject matter of the research.

Reflection paper. Papers submitted as a reflection resulting (or not) from a research should be supported on concepts and theories from the thematic field, with consistent arguments showing a solid and theoretical knowledge of the topic presented. Citations and references should reflect theoretical and conceptual knowledge. Sections should be separated by headings and subheadings duly numbered according to Arabic system hierarchy (1., 1.1., 1.2., 2. etc.).

Review paper. Papers submitted as a review or state of the art must indicate the field or topic subject matter of review and, if this review is linked to a research process, it should indicate the project and the institution where it is carried out and/or financed. Overall, it is an article that systematizes and integrates the results of published or unpublished research about a field of education or pedagogy in order to present the progress made and the discussion trends of these fields. It is characterized by presenting a bibliographic review of at least 50 references.

Articles translation

This journal accepts, in addition to the original article, a version translated from it to English to spread academic and scientific advances to a wider audience with international projection. It is essential that these translations show high quality and are carefully reviewed before being sent. If the original version of the article meets the necessary requirements for publication, the translation may be diagrammed and uploaded to the platform with the respective DOI code.

Citation and references

In the articles, quotations and references will follow the norms established by the American Psychological Association (APA) last edition.

When it comes to direct or textual quotations, that is, the exact words of another publication were transcribed, it is necessary to indicate the author's last name, the year of publication and the page from which the appointment was obtained. Here is an example:

“¿Dónde (y cuándo) viven aquellas personas que proclaman pomposamente sus derechos de propiedad sobre la tierra y el agua tomada de los negros a precios de remate después de traslados forzosos violentos? ¿En qué tiempo estamos viviendo algunos [...]?” (Asmal, Asmal & Suresh, 1996, p. 209).

When it is a paraphrase or indirect quote, that is to say that the ideas of the author are used, but not in their own words, only the name of the author and the year of publication should be included. Next you can see an example:

According to Preston King (2000), most of our difficulties in understanding the idea of a past that is still alive in the present lie in a certain confusion about what we understand by present and past.

At the end of each article a list should be included with the bibliographic references that were used in the research and that appear in the text. This list must be arranged alphabetically according to the last name of the author (a) following the norms established by the American Psychological Association (APA) in its latest edition. The title of this list must be References and each appointment must be double-spaced from each other. The bibliographical reference should include the surnames and initials of the authors, the title of the article, the volume and the page numbers.
