As part of the submission process, authors are required to check that their submission meets all the elements shown below. Submissions that do not meet these guidelines will be returned to the authors:

• 00. The submission has not been previously published or submitted for consideration by any other journal (or an explanation has been provided in the Comments to the Editor)
• 01. The submission file that contains the text of the article does not contain any authorship data

Peer review process

In pursuit of scientific quality, the papers received will be firstly submitted to an internal evaluation by one or more members of the editorial committee of the journal, who will evaluate the thematic relevance for the specific number and its general policies; as well as their adaptation to the publication standards, and may be rejected if they do not fit into them, or request modifications to continue with the consideration of the work.

Scientific articles, scientific essays and case studies, after internal evaluation, will be subjected to a peer evaluation process by two external evaluators from the UCASAL Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism. If a mixed result is obtained, a third party will be used.

In all cases, the decision to publish is assumed by the Directorate with the consent of the scientific committee on the basis of the opinions expressed by the referees. The referees are selected from the pool of evaluators that make up the scientific committee of the journal. In case the publication requires it, they may be contacted; on the recommendation of the scientific committee; academics from other disciplines and universities.

The evaluation system is double blind, that is, the confidentiality and anonymity of both authors and reviewers is guaranteed. In order to guarantee, as far as possible, the application of similar criteria when evaluating, specialists are provided with an evaluation form where the required standards are specified. The result (publishable without modifications - with slight modifications - with substantial modifications - not publishable) is communicated to the authors, who have the opportunity to adjust their work according to the recommendations of the referees. In the event that corrections must be made, the authors must respond to such observations as soon as possible. The final file must include the modifications suggested by the evaluators and editors, if any.

Publication frequency and call for submission of contributions

Teks del Sud edits and publishes a number per year in the month of December, with continuous periodicity. Original works related to the field of architectural project, object and technological design, environment & habitat, urban planning, development and historical landscape are accepted, with particular emphasis on the South American context. The call for the presentation of thematic contributions is made during the month of July, while the general call remains open permanently. Both calls will be communicated openly and in a timely manner.

Said contributions are processed as they are applied, considering the deadline for receipt indicated in the call.

In the case of the general call under the open window system, as the collaborations are received, the evaluation process begins, so that once the amount of required texts is completed, the number and everything that entered from there is programmed for the next number.

In both cases, once the review and editing process of an article is finished, it is uploaded to the journal's portal for online reading.

Although journal’s main language is Spanish, contributions in Italian, English, Portuguese and French are accepted as original writing languages to broaden the dissemination of the publication's contents among various academic communities. In those cases, the original versions of the text must be sent accompanied by its translations in Spanish.
