Submissions

Author Guidelines

Authors interested in publishing in the UTC Prospectivas journal should upload their proposals to the OJS platform. There is no deadline, as the journal is open for submissions year-round. Articles received by May will be published in July of the same year, while manuscripts received by November of the current year will be published in January of the following year. Proposals must be original, unpublished, and not currently under consideration by another journal. To ensure this, authors must attach a letter of assignment of rights to their proposal.

The Editorial Committee of UTC Prospectivas will thoroughly evaluate each proposal submitted to ensure that there is no academic plagiarism or excessive use of undeclared AI. If either of these is found, the proposal will be automatically rejected. UTC Prospectivas magazine and its Editorial Committee are not responsible for possible conflicts of interest between authors. The opinions published, of any kind, will be the sole responsibility of the authors.

The maximum number of authors allowed per proposal is four; if this number is exceeded, the Editorial Board must be provided with a justification for evaluation.
