Guidelines for authors 

1. The journal ANUARI DEL CONFLICTE SOCIAL is a journal published annually in electronic format that contains records and analyses of the main episodes of social conflicts in the year. The works are mainly of an academic and research nature, but other other types of contributions are also included: interviews with activists or experts, contributions from participants in protests and ongoing social changes, opinion articles, etc. This journal is published in Barcelona by the Observatory of Social Conflict, linked to a research group at the University of Barcelona whose objective is to provide "studies and testimonies on social conflict and change".
2. The periodicity of the magazine is currently annual.
3. The materials selected for publication in ANUARI DEL CONFLICTE SOCIAL will be subjected to a peer review process. In the event that an article is not accepted, it will be communicated to the author or authors as quickly as possible.

Checklist for preparing submissions

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check that their submission meets all the elements shown below. Submissions that do not meet these guidelines will be returned to their authors.

1. The submission has not been previously published, nor has it been previously submitted to another journal (or an explanation has been provided in "Comments to the editor").
2. An author may not have more than one article under evaluation at the same time.
3. The submission file is in Microsoft Word (.doc) or .odt format
4. The text complies with the bibliographic and style requirements indicated in the Guidelines for authors, which can be found in About the journal.
5. Text is single-spaced, uses 13-point Garamond font, and italicizes instead of underlining (except for URLs). All illustrations, figures and tables are numbered and located in the position that corresponds to them, and not at the end of the text.
6. Make a pre-reading of the text to detect possible errors.
7. For submissions to the peer-reviewed sections in the journal, the instructions in the section "How to ensure a blind review" have been followed.
8. DOI references have been added where they exist.
9. URLs have been provided for references wherever possible and DOI was not available.
10. If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, anonimize the text by substituting the citation of your own work with "anonimized" instead of your name, as any other reference that could directly identify the authors. For example "As we showed in previous research (anonimized, 2010)".

Indications for the formal presentation of texts

Language: Spanish, Catalan, English.

Typography:

a) Text in 12-point Cambria typeface;

b) Separate quotations in the text in Cambria 11-point font;

c) Footnotes in Cambria 10.

Length: Between 7,000 and 10,000 words per article, although exceptionally an extension outside this range may be admitted.

The approach to the topics discussed should not lose sight of the fact that, since the texts are read by very diverse audiences and in very diverse countries, the writing should be as pedagogical and understandable for these varied audiences as possible. It is possible to resort to the support of an annexed or integrated Chronology, as it has just been indicated, or to the use of footnotes to clarify names and linguistic uses and similar procedures. It is recommended that the article conform to the linguistic and style criteria of the CUB (Criteria of the University of Barcelona).

Papers dealing with conflict episodes are recommended to contain a Chronology of their deployment, when appropriate or deemed appropriate. They can be of two types: short (incorporated where suotable for content reasons, in the middle of the text, in whole or redacted format) or long (incorporated into the text as an Annex or as an item outside the article, following the guidelines of the Yearbook Chronology 2011 on the Arab revolutions, pp. 26-42). The latter serves as a model for the way to visually present the Chronology data in both cases (incorporated into the article; or separately or in an annex). In general, chronologies (short or long) should be developed in the format of a Word table with two columns (one for date and one for event) and as many rows as reported events.

ANUARI del CONFLICTE SOCIAL maintains an anti-plagiarism policy to guarantee the originality of all manuscripts through the use of specialized anti-plagiarism software (URKUND). This policy makes it possible to ensure standards of originality in this journal and to detect coincidences and similarities between the texts sent for publication and those previously published in other sources.

At the beginning of the article: metadata

Title in the language of the article and in English (maximum 15 words in each language).
At the beginning of each article, there will be an abstract of the content between 7 and 10 lines long, at least in one of the three languages used by Clivatge: Catalan (abstract), Spanish (abstract) and English (abstract); and then a few keywords, between 3 and 5.
Of these, 3 of them must be derived from http://vocabularies.unesco.org/browser/thesaurus/es/
They should be separated by ";" (semicolon), with an initial capital letter and without a final period. If you cannot find sufficiently precise keywords for your article, please strive for the closest ones, as they will be verified during the correction.

Information regarding the authors: full name, university / institution and email. Next to each of the authors and at the foot of the page, a biographical note of the author or authors of about 3-5 lines per person should be placed.

The body of the article

All titles and subtitles must be clearly numbered, so that the title level is clearly identified, eg. 1. Introduction; 2.3. XXXXX; 4.5.2. XXXXXX, up to a maximum of 3 levels of title. Automatic numbering need not be used.
If you want to add acknowledgments or mention the financing source, add it at the end of the article, before the references, and with a different title for each case: “acknowledgments” and / or “financing”; they should not appear as a footnote.
Literal quotations will be enclosed in quotation marks within the text. Literal quotations that have more than 40 words must be made in a separate paragraph with an indentation of 5 spaces or 0.5cm from the left side in the entire paragraph.
The literal quotations must indicate the page, with the structure:
(Author, year, p. Xxx). If it is a web citation, without pages, please indicate the paragraph number (para. Xxx) or the name of the section. Structure: (Author, year, section “section name”).
Tables and figures (drawings, graphic maps, photographs, etc.) must be numbered and have a short descriptive title. They should always be refered to in the body of the text by their number (eg, See table 1), and not by their position (do not use: in the next / previous figure). They must have a title and the footer must include data sources. Tables and figures must be sent in their original format (Excel file, png, jpg, etc.)
References to empirical material such as interviews or field journal entries should have the following structure, at each occurrence of verbatim quotations (Identifier, technique name, date). Examples: (Amanda, personal interview, May 2018) (Juan, focus group 1, July 2019) (Field diary entry, December 2020) (Interviewee 3, personal interview, March 2019). This type of material is not included in the list of references, only in the manner indicated in the body of the text.
Tables indicating interview information, discussion group information or information about other techniques will be added at the end of the article.

Bibliographic references

Both the bibliographic references and the bibliography should be consigned at the end of the article.
References will follow APA 7 style standards. Since the seventh version is new, we shall accept works complying with version 6. These will be adapted to the newest version in the correction process. https://libguides.csudh.edu/citation/apa-7

Ensuring a Blind Peer Review

To ensure the integrity of the blind review of the submission made by experts for this journal, every effort is needed to prevent the identity of the authors and reviewers from being known to them. This involves authors, editors, and reviewers (who upload documents as part of their review) reviewing whether the following steps were taken for the text and file properties:

1. The authors of the document have removed their names from the text, using "Author" and year in the references and in the footnotes, instead of the author's name, article title, and so on.
2. With Word documents, the identity of the author must also be removed from the file's properties. Once the document is finished, select from the folder, the file> right button> Properties> Details> Select "Remove properties and personal information"> Select "Remove the following properties from this file"> Select "Authors", "Saved by" and any section where author information may appear> Accept
