About the journal

EDITORIAL POLICY
The digital journal Paisajes sonoros históricos is linked to the platform Paisajes sonoros históricos (c.1200-c.1800) / Historical soundscapes, which began its online journey on 21 September 2015. In this project we contemplate the term paisaje sonoro / soundscape in its broader etymological meaning that combines the notions of sound and space, dispensing with the restrictive framework postulated by Pierre Schaeffer, incorporating microarticles included within the area of knowledge called Urban Musicology. Paisajes sonoros históricos is aimed at a broad public, so the contributions to this digital journal must be thought and written in terms of high outreach, without losing academic rigour, and trying to promote interdisciplinarity.
* Instructions for authors and editorial process:
- Contents may be original and unpublished or revisions of already published works, whose contribution, in the latter case, will be given by their cartographic georeferencing, interactive keywords, and added resources.
- Authors are requested that their contributions adhere to the concept of contextualised sound event, although this may be understood with certain flexibility justified by the heterogeneity that such events may present. An event may occur at a specific chronological point in time or may be repeated periodically or sporadically. Authors are recommended to consult the articles already published to get an idea of the variety of topics included and the diversity of formulations that can be found in the articles submitted.
- The maximum length of the articles will be 1,500 words; only exceptionally and after consultation with the editorial team will contributions that exceed this limit be accepted.
- Articles may be published in Spanish and/or English.
- Authors should send their proposals for contributions to the journal's contact address, including the fields: Title (in Spanish and English), Abstract (in Spanish and English), Description (content), Sources, and Bibliography. In addition, the labels to be added to the fields Agent and Type of Event (in Spanish and English) will be specified. Finally, the resources that will illustrate the article will be attached.
Once the proposals have been reviewed and accepted by the editorial team, the authors will be registered so that they can access the form in which they must complete the various fields mentioned above. At the same time, they will be sent the Practical Guide for collaboration with the digital journal Paisajes Sonoros Históricos, which specifies in detail the steps to follow to complete the registration of the article.
Once the process has been completed, the article will be reviewed, published, and uploaded to Zenodo, and the news item will then be publicised on social networks.
* Evaluation criteria:
The evaluation of the articles submitted will be carried out by the members of the editorial team who will supervise that they comply with the editorial standards and the quality of the writing, both in terms of academic protocols and usages and in terms of grammatical and stylistic correctness. The specific criteria for this evaluation are:
- Interest and relevance of the subject matter addressed.
- Presentation in the aforementioned format of an event that may take place at a specific chronological moment or be repeated periodically or sporadically.
- Minimum documentary or bibliographic references that endorse the veracity of the event referred to.
- Adequacy of the resources added to the content of the event to illustrate it and reinforce its interdisciplinary aspect.
If the article does not meet the above criteria, it will be returned to its author so that he/she can make the suggested changes and resubmit it.
