QUINTANA is a journal on History of Art, issued annually, which publishes original research papers about any of the specialities related to the Arts, including interdisciplinary approaches that enrich their study.
The publication of research papers is structured in two sections: the first one – SUBJECT – is of a monographic character, and its content is planned beforehand by the Editorial Board, who invites well-known specialists in the chosen theme, whilst the second one – ARTICLES – is open to contributions about any theme.
The papers which are presented in the ARTICLES section will be subjected to assessment using a double-blind review process with anonymity for both authors and reviewers (double-blind peer review process). The journal will use two reviewers, members of the Scientific Committee or academic experts, to assess each article received, and will resort to a third reviewer in the case of discrepancy. The articles which are finally published will include reception and acceptance dates. The journal’s Director and the Editorial Board will have ultimate responsibility for the selection process, and will communicate the editorial decisions to the authors.
The authors accept that QUINTANA could diffuse the texts which are published therein, only to serve a scientific purpose, and without commercial profit, for any media, including Internet, and to incorporate these contents in the electronic databases of scientific journals. This diffusion must be understood as an assignment for the use of, “non-exclusive” cession, and only for this purpose, with temporally and territorially unlimited cession of the rights that correspond to the authors.
NORMS FOR THE PRESENTATION OF ORIGINAL PAPERS
The papers must be original and unpublished. The authors undertake to sign a declaration of originality stating that the paper was not previously published, and that it will not be sent to any other journal while it is under the editorial process of QUINTANA. Papers may be written in Galician, Spanish, Catalonian, Portuguese, Italian, French or English. The maximum length will be 15–20 pages for the main text, using one and a half spaces and written only on one side of DIN-A4 sheets. The paper’s heading, the text, the endnotes and reference list will be written in Times New Roman size 12 type; long quotes will be written in size 10 type in a separate paragraph and without quotation marks.
The papers must be headed in the following way:
- Title of the article: centered, block capitals in bold, size 12
- Name and surnames of the author: below the title, centered, with small letters in italics of size 10
- University (or centre) to which the author belongs: below the name, centered with small letters of size 10
- ORCID identifier, according to the ORCID organization format:
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097
- Institutional email
- Abstract of the article, no longer than 200 words
- Keywords from the article, maximum five
- Translation of the summary in English (abstract)
- Translation of the keywords in English (keywords)
QUINTANA follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, so we recommend the author/date citation system, with references placed in parenthesis after the information cited –(Kirk 2013, 47)–. The bibliographic references should be given in the main body of the manuscript, prioritising endnotes to cite archival sources used in research, or provide very specific information for the citation, or allow the author to give personal comments on the quote or information being cited.
The notes will be presented always at the end of the main text (footnotes are not accepted), numbered consecutively. The indications to the notes within the text itself will be done in superscript.
The main body of text with endnotes will not present figures inserted.
The list of captions with their numbers – position indicated in the main text following the format (fig. 1), (fig. 2), … – will be included in a separate Word document.
The main body of text with endnotes and the list of captions must be accompanied by a “REFERENCES” list file. The list of references should be alphabetized by author’s last name. Each bibliographic entry should include: author name (last name first, separating last and first name with a comma), title of work (italicized for books, but articles enclosed in quotation marks instead), and publication information about location, publisher name, and year.
As a general standard of presentation, submissions must follow the Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition, as in the examples below. Please follow these examples scrupulously when compiling and formatting both your endnotes citations and reference list in order to avoid citing incorrectly.

It is highly recommended that the authors check the complete inclusion of the metadata corresponding to title, name, affiliation, contact, abstract, keywords, and ORCID identifier.
The papers, with title, abstract and keywords, should be registered before January 31th of every year in order to gain priority for the issue of that year.

The editors reserve the right to make slight alterations to the papers received, with the sole objective of correcting mechanical or linguistic mistakes. If the modifications needed were significant, the author would be consulted to request his/her approval. The editors also reserve the right to not publish any figures which they consider to be of poor quality.
The printer’s proofs will be reviewed by the authors, who will make the pertinent changes, correct printing errors and send them back within a week of reception. Any delay in sending back the copy will mean that the article will be published without the author’s corrections.
