Instructions to Authors
All manuscripts must be uploaded electronically through the online submission system provided: http://rcp.alerta.cl/index.php/RCP/index.
Preferred file formats for submissions are Microsoft Word and LaTeX. Submissions prepared in LaTeX should be accompanied by a compiled PDF version of the manuscript.
Authors will be asked to confirm the originality of the manuscript upon submission. Articles which have been published elsewhere, or which have been submitted to other editorial referees as a part of a more extended version must be accompanied by a letter that makes this explicit.
The submission of manuscripts is free of charges.
Preparation of manuscripts
On a separate cover sheet, which will be removed for the purpose of blind peer review, authors should supply a short biography of 50-100 words, along with details regarding the institutional affiliation of the author(s), and contact details for the corresponding author, including a full mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
Manuscripts should be formatted in 1.5 spacing throughout with generous left- and right-hand margins. Pages must be numbered sequentially.
Two abstracts, one in English and the other in Spanish, should precede the main text. Abstracts must be a maximum of 120 words each, and should be accompanied by up to five key words.
The maximum word length for articles is 9000 words, including notes, tables, and references. For research notes the maximum length is 5000 words, including the corresponding abstracts (the same guidelines apply) and three key words.
Titles and section headings should be clear and brief. They should not be underlined. Quotations that exceed 40 words should be indented in the text. Tables and Figures should have short, descriptive titles. Table descriptions and references to sources should be placed below the respective table.
In order to ensure anonymity during the peer-review process, self-citations should be removed from the manuscript.
Manuscripts must contain a complete, alphabetically-ordered bibliography at the end of the main text. Both in-text and footnote citation is accepted but the following style is preferred: (Waltz 1979: 16). Multiple citations should be ordered chronologically and separated by a semi-colon: (Waltz 1979; Mearsheimer 2001). Multiple works by the same author should also be listed in chronological order and separated by a comma (Rawls 1971, 1993, 2001). Use “et al.” when citing a work with more than two authors.

Peer-review process
All manuscripts submitted to Revista de Ciencia Política (RCP) are subject to a rigorous review procedure in line with the established standards of the discipline. In the first instance, the editors perform a pre-screening process in order to determine whether the paper is suitable for possible publication in RCP. Typically, this first step is completed within a week of submission. Authors whose manuscripts are rejected during the pre-screening process can expect to receive an explanation for this editorial decision in that period. Manuscripts that are sent out for external review—a standard double-blind referee process—usually receive an editorial decision within one to three months of submission. There are four possible editorial outcomes: acceptance, acceptance conditional on minor modifications, revise & resubmit, and rejection. The vast majority of manuscripts moving to the external double-blind referee process receive either a rejection decision or an invitation to revise & resubmit. A manuscript is rarely accepted without substantive revisions after the initial external double-blind referee process. Authors who are invited to revise and resubmit their manuscript must complete their revisions within the prescribed time period (usually six months). Revised manuscripts that are submitted later will be considered as new submissions. Revised manuscripts that are submitted within the six-month period are typically resubmitted—for a third round of evaluation—to the same external evaluators from the previous stage. In some cases, the third round of evaluation is on the editors' behalf. The final decision is always made by the editors based on the recommendations of the peer reviewers.
