Editor's responsibility: The manuscripts are evaluated by the editorial committee with the contributions from at least three external reviewers competent in the subject of the manuscript. The ultimate responsibility for the decisions on the manuscripts rests with the editorial committee.
Evaluation and publication process: The evaluation process takes between 3 to 5 months. Once the manuscript is received, it is registered and sent to the reviewers who act as evaluators according to the guidelines of the journal. Authors may suggest names of possible reviewers. The identity of the reviewers is anonymous, unless they indicate otherwise. A manuscript can be accepted (with major or minor changes) or rejected. In the first case, the manuscript is returned to be corrected and forwarded to the Editor, which should not exceed 60 days. The authors must clearly indicate the changes made and base those aspects suggested by the reviewers who did not consider them. Once the corrections have been received, the editorial committee will deliberate and decide if the modifications render the manuscript suitable for publication. Once the journal receives the manuscript that has already been corrected, it is sent to a second evaluation (optional). Upon this review, its acceptance or rejection is determined. The authors will be notified of both the reception, acceptance or rejection of the manuscript.
Responsibility of the authors: The authors are responsible for the ideas and empirical data of the manuscripts, for the fidelity of the information, for the correction of the citations, for the rights to publish any material included in the text and for the presentation of the manuscript in the format required by the Journal. A manuscript sent to Chungara Revista de Antropología Chilena should not be published or have been submitted in the same way to another publication media.
Copyright: The published articles do not necessarily compromise the point of view of the journal. All rights reserved. Neither all or part of this journal may be reproduced or transmitted by any electronic or mechanical means, without the written permission of the Editor-in-Chief.
Proofs: The second proof will be sent to the authors for correction only of typographical or editing errors. These must be returned to the Editor within three days after they are received, authorizing the publication of the manuscript.
Editorial Guidelines
The journal accepts manuscripts in different fields of anthropology that refer to the Andean region of South America. It only accepts manuscripts from other geographical areas providing they include the Andean region for comparative theoretical and methodological purposes. Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be original contributions and result from research based on the formulation of an anthropological problem that incorporates a theoretical-methodological discussion of the most up-to-date approaches to the subject within the discipline.
Types of manuscripts: The following types of original manuscripts[1] are accepted by Chungara:
Original Research Manuscripts which, based on case studies or comparative analyses, promote the debate on relevant topics in anthropology from theoretical and methodological positions. Also accepted are presentations and discussions of fieldwork data and/or laboratory analyses that contribute to deepen the methodological and technical aspects of the discipline, and/or empirical data dealing with regional topics from case studies. Manuscripts should not exceed 8,500 words (inclusive of all the sections of the manuscript with the exception of the References Cited).
Discussion manuscripts (forums) derived from an essay or research article whose approach considers the discussion of current theoretical or methodological issues (and which should not exceed 8,500 words). These types of manuscripts may be invited by the journal editors or selected from the articles sent for consideration. For this, the authors must explicitly request that their work be considered as such. The journal editors will make the final decision. These manuscripts will be commented by a group of colleagues (in texts no longer than 3,000 words) chosen by the Editorial Board of Chungara. The author of the manuscript being discussed will in turn reply to these comments in a text no longer than 2,500 words.
Interviews containing conversations with a researcher and/or people whose contribution to anthropology is relevant. The Editorial Board will decide on the relevance of the interview. Interviews must not exceed 4,500 words.
Book reviews, they are requested by the author of the book, who suggests names to the Editorial board; also a researcher may request to review a book. The book review should not exceed 3,000 words.
Obituaries that recognize the contribution of authors and people related to the discipline. They should not exceed 3,500 words.
