ARTNODES accepts the submission of original work written in English, Spanish or Catalan. The texts must abide by the Author Guidelines set out in this section.
The aim of Artnodes is to publish original work: articles received that are currently being approved by another journal will be invalidated. Exceptionally, the Editorial Board may recommend the translation of an article, due to its relevance.
All submissions received in the journal are analyzed with a plagiarism detection tool to verify that no bad practices are carried out.
Formal criteria
The originals submitted must contain the following information:
Complete title
Abbreviated title*
Contextualisation*
Abstract (between 200 words) with the essential aspects and results of the work
Keywords (between 4 and 6)
Body text of the article, structured into sections and subsections
Related links*
* Optional.
In separate files:
Any graphics and images: they should be numbered and have a caption that clearly identifies the contents and where they have to be inserted.
The originals must be submitted anonymized in editable electronic file form (.doc, .rtf, .odt, no PDF) and must not exceed the 5,000 words (including all sections).
We recommend the use of an equal and non-sexist language in the article. For more information, you can consult this guide:
If the sex or gender of the people to whom the study applies is relevant, you should give details of this in the title of the article, the abstract and the design of the research. It would be important to provide data disaggregated by sex or gender, when appropriate.
Bibliographic references
They must be submitted following the rules of the AUTHOR-DATE mode of the Chicago Manual of Style, that is, the parenthesis citation version in the text with bibliographical references at the end of the text. The footnotes will be used for additional explanatory use.
