  Process of reception of articles

   1. The Latin American Journal of Ethnomathematics has as its main objective the diffusion of works of investigation, of reflection or review of a topic, interviews, and book reviews in the area of Ethnomathematics, as well as works related to the sociocultural and political aspects of the process of teaching and learning mathematics.
  2. The articles submitted must belong to one of the following classifications:

  • Articles of investigation: Document that presents, in a detailed way, the original results of investigation projects completed. The structure generally utilizes four important sections: introduction (problematic, research question, antecedents, theoretical framework), methodology, results, and conclusions.
  • Articles of reflection: Document that presents the results of an investigation finished from an analytic or interpretive perspective or author critique, about a specific theme, using original sources.
  • Articles of review: Document that results from a completed investigation where the results of published or non-published investigations, about a field of science or technology, are analyzed, sistematized, or integrated with the objective of realizing the advances and the tendencies of the development. It is characterized by a presentation of a careful bibliographic review of at least 50 references.
  • Interviews
  • Book reviews

  3. The article must be of an original character and not submitted for review in another journal.The journal will confirm this before initiating the peer review process with the anti plagiarism software EPHORIS. If the result coinciding with another article or text already published is greater than 40%, the article will be rejected immediately. https://www1.ephorus.com
  4. The authors must standardize their signatures by entering  http://www.iralis.org and using it to sign the article in order to be cited correctly. This is an obligatory step.
  5. The articles can be written in Spanish, English, French, or Portuguese.
  6. Send your articles for evaluation during the entire year, ONLY through the electronic platform in which the journal is found (Open Journal System). If you are not registered you must do it in REGISTER using the standardized signature of step 4. If you are already registered, sign in with your user name and password.
  7. All communication should be carried out with the primary author, except if contrarily indicated by the authors.
  8. The director of the journal reserves the right to immediately reject articles that are poorly edited or that do not comply with the norms specified below.
  9. Before submitting an article, carry out an evaluation of this according to the formats of evaluation of the journal RESEARCH ARTICLES EVALUATION or ARTICLES OF REFLECTION  OR REVIEW  EVALUATION
  10. You have downloaded the letter of declaration of conflict of interest, completed the requested information, and signed all the authors of the article. I have the letter ready to upload it as a companion file. LETTER OF DECLARATION OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

  Citations: APA standards, seventh edition, should be used as indicated below:

  

  narrative quote

  • 
    The author is included in the writing of the
    paragraph. The date is between
    parenthesis.
  • Emphasis on the author.
  • It involves the use of citation phrases.
  • Example: Aldo (2020) states that...

  parenthetical citation

  • The idea and the author's data are mentioned
    and date appear in parentheses.
  • Emphasis in the text.
  • It does not imply the use of citation phrases.
  • Example: (Aldo, 2020).

  Verbatim quote (less than 40 words):

  If the citation is less than 40 words, it is integrated into the paragraph and placed in quotation marks, without italics. Write a period at the end of the sentence that includes the citation, as indicated below.

  • narrative quote

  According to Author(s) Surname(s) (Year), “Author's quote” (p. #).

  Example:

  According to Valero (2021),“los distintos grupos institucionales de educación matemática, su colaboración y su conexión con las corrientes internacionales de investigación formaron un terreno propicio para la expansión de las preocupaciones prácticas, curriculares y académicas sobre la educación matemática” (p.48).

  • parenthetical citation

  "Author's textual citation" (Author's Surname(s), Year, p. #).

  Example:

  “Hacia una filosofía de la educación matemática crítica” (Skovsmose, 1999, p.8).

  Verbatim quote (greater than 40 words):

  If the quote is longer than 40 words, it is written separately from the text, with a left indentation (1.27cm) and without quotation marks, the font size and line spacing are preserved.

  • narrative quote

  According to Author(s) Surname(s) (Year):

  Verbatim quote from the author. (p.#)

  Example:

  According to Garcia (2018):

  la funcionalidad de las prácticas sociales, en específico de la práctica social de modelación, en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la diferencial, se diseñó y aplicó una actividad didáctica; estos procesos y resultados muestran que una enseñanza de las matemáticas enfocada en las prácticas o actividades humanas puede ayudar a resignificar el conocimiento. (p. 140)

  • parenthetical citation

  Verbatim quote from the author. (Surname(s) author(s), Year, p. #).

  Example:

  A introdução de uma disciplina de educação  etnomatemática  no sistema  universitário de   ensino   terá   como   primeira   consequência impedir   que   o   ensino   superior   da matemática continue a repercutir cegamente no ensino fundamental e médio, à maneira de  reprodução  cíclica  de  um  sistema  cruelmente  fechado  e  implacavelmente  alienado por exclusões em cadeia “programadas” pelas próprias instituições docentes (Vergani, 2007, p. 45).

  Paraphrasing quote:

  The quote uses the ideas of another author, but in the writer's own words, which implies a reformulation of the information that goes beyond the use of synonyms. In this citation it is necessary to mention the author's last name and the year of publication.

  • narrative paraphrasing

  Author(s) surname(s) (Year) Reworked citation.

  Example:

  According to Ávila (2014) recovering, legitimizing and incorporating the mathematical knowledge of the original peoples, into the formal teaching processes, is an objective that is recognized as having great importance in contemporary indigenous education in Mexico. However, as this same author points out, authentic didactic developments are needed that allow it to be fulfilled.

  • parenthetical paraphrase

  Reworked citation (Author(s) Surname(s), Year).

  Example:

  A mathematical modeling project oriented by social, political and critical aspects, must promote the critical participation of students/citizens in society, when discussing political, economic or environmental issues in which mathematics serves as technological support (Skovsmose, 1994) .

  Rules based on the number of authors

  

  References: The word References must be centered and in bold, in alphabetical order by last name of the first author, references will be written with 1.5 line spacing and French indentation.
