About the Journal

Focus and scope

Objective and information

The aim of this editorial space is to disseminate historical thought and practice to the university student community, as well as to provide an academic forum for dialogue.

In this way, Horizonte Histórico becomes a space where students from various higher education institutions can publish their academic work, provided that the subject matter is related to history.

Horizonte Histórico is not affiliated with any specific branch of historical work, provided that the texts comply with a serious methodology in line with our editorial guidelines.

Audience

Horizonte Histórico is aimed directly at both specialists and non-specialists in the study of history, as its content includes both academic texts and historical dissemination. It aims to reach undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in any discipline who find in any of the published works a source of reference or reading of interest for their own research, as well as readers who have an interest in history.

Theme

The central discipline of this journal is History, linking the professional and scientific study of this discipline in an interdisciplinary manner with other related fields of knowledge, especially those related to the Social Sciences and Humanities, but without excluding others. In general, any text whose central theme of study is the historical processes of the past linked to any scientific area is subject to publication in Horizonte Histórico.

In terms of historical topics, the accepted works have focused on the topics set by number, so that articles on different types of history can be found: social, gender, women's, everyday life, political, military, emotions, etc. There are also texts on the philosophy of history and historiography.

Ethical Commitment

The journal Horizonte Histórico follows the guidelines of the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (COPE). We are committed to maintaining high ethical standards in all aspects of our editorial process, ensuring transparency, research integrity, and respect for academic freedom. This commitment seeks to ensure quality and ethical rigor in every publication we share with our academic community.

Preparation of bibliographic references

Horizonte Histórico uses the Chicago 17th edition citation system, so we ask that all submissions comply with these requirements. Below are examples of how to cite.

Libros 

Last name, Full name. Title: Subtitle [in italics]. City: Publisher, year of publication. URL or DOI [if either is available].

Book chapters

First name Last name, “Essay or chapter title,” in Full title, edited by First name and Last name (City of publication: Publisher, year), page or pages consulted, URL or DOI [if either is available].

Magazine articles

First name Last name, “Article title: Subtitle,” Journal title volume* , no. xx (year): page or pages consulted, URL or DOI [if either is available].

• The word "volume" and the abbreviation "vol." are not used; instead, the corresponding Arabic numeral is used (when applicable). However, the issue number of the journal is indicated with the abbreviation "no."

Multimedia 

For internet citations, the site must be specialized in the subject and supported by an institution dedicated to the professional dissemination or research of the subject. The citation will be made as follows: Author's name, title of the text, website, and date of consultation; or, as required by the Chicago 17th edition system.

Files

Chicago does not have a standard model for citing files. However, it is recommended to follow the examples below:

• Railway Historical Archive. Madrid Railway Museum. MZA documentary series. Commercial Service, boxes 345-387.
• National Historical Archive. Ministry of Justice, Property Registry 398, file 620. Reference number 16,533, file 0031. Ministry of Justice, Magistrates and Judges, 4986, file 18825. Ministry of Finance, 5386-2, file 26.

The important thing here is to start from the general and move to the specific (beginning with the Archive and ending with the file or box number), trying to provide enough information for readers to consult them correctly if they so wish.

Footnotes

In addition to bibliographic references, the History requires the mandatory use of footnotes and citations ordered with Arabic numerals in consecutive order. Furthermore, the first time a work (whether a book, chapter, journal, etc.) is cited, the full name must be added. Subsequent citations of the same work should be abbreviated. Below is an example of a book citation:

• Note at the bottom
  • Pedro Barceló, A Brief History of Greece and Rome, 2nd ed. (Madrid: Alianza, 2001).
• Abbreviated note
  • Barceló, Breve historia..., 58-60.
    • The ellipsis (...) is necessary because it indicates that the title of the work is abbreviated.
• Bibliographic reference
  • Barceló, Pedro. A Brief History of Greece and Rome. 2nd ed. Madrid: Alianza, 2001.

NOTE: Since Chicago no longer allows the use of Ibid., and Ibidem.,& nbsp;, the journal Horizonte Histórico does not either. If the author is accustomed to using it, we request that it be modified. The same applies to Op. Cit. .

Some considerations for oral citations and images

• Oral citations are the responsibility of the author.
• Articles may include images, but they must be properly referenced without violating any rights of the author(s) of these images: the name of the work, the author, and the year of creation; or, failing that, the name of the file, collection, etc.; or, the above information together with a description of the image, the link where it was obtained, and the date of consultation.

Original articles

In order to accept and publish any submission, it is mandatory that it has not been previously published or submitted for consideration by any other journal (or that an explanation has been provided in the Comments to the editor). In other words, Horizonte Histórico will consider unpublished and original works.
