ABOUT THE PUBLICATION |
Focus and scopeDixit is a refereed and indexed academic journal. It
publishes original and unpublished research articles. Its focus is on
Communication —in the fields of knowledge and professional practice— which may
be in dialogue with other disciplines, with an editorial style that promotes
agile reading of rigorous work. It is aimed at individuals and institutions
interested in the field of Communication and related disciplines. Dixit is indexed in ESCI (Web of Science), and Catálogo Latindex 2.0; distributed in SciELO, Dialnet, EBSCO, MIAR, HAPI and CLASE databases, and registered in DOAJ, Timbó, ROAD and LatinREV. The journal is member of AURA and
the Red de Investigadores en
Diseño (Universidad de Palermo), and is
also in the social network X. Editorial policy
The
Editorial Team decides whether the papers received are suitable for the focus
and editorial style of the journal, and in which volume the papers are
published. Since 2024, preprints are accepted. The
authors are responsible for the content of their articles or art works. Section policies
Research articles. Original and unpublished research papers, with a
length between 6,000 and 10,000 words (not including references, tables, or
figures). They are peer-reviewed in a double-blind system. Bibliographic reviews. Between 1,000 and 3,000 words (not including
references, tables, or figures), evaluated by the journal editorial team. Thematic
dossiers. Proposals for thematic dossiers are received and will be evaluated
by the Editor, with the Associate Editors, for acceptance and implementation.
These proposals must include the names of the persons who will coordinate the
dossier as guest editors. Regardless of the chosen theme, the dossiers must
present topics related to the region and not to particular territories or
countries. These proposals should be sent to the journal by e-mail to the editor in charge. The
journal occasionally publishes other types of articles by invitation. Frequency of publication
As of
2024, the journal Dixit is published in the continuous publication
mode. Articles are published as they complete the editorial process in a single
annual volume. Free of charge publication
Authors
are not charged for publishing in Dixit. The expenses of the editorial process of the
articles are covered by the Universidad Católica del Uruguay. Dixit does
not charge for subscriptions; access to the full text of published articles has
no cost. Dixit publishes articles in Spanish and occasionally
accepts works in English and Portuguese. In these cases, if the article is
accepted by the Editorial Team and passes the arbitration process, its authors
are committed to ensuring the professional quality of the final version of the
text. Open Access Policy
This
journal provides open access to all its content. Under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
International License (CC BY 4.0), users have the right to view, download, store, print, search, index
and create links to the texts, provided that the original source and the person
in charge of its authorship are cited in all cases and situations. Authors
are free to archive their published article in institutional repositories
and/or on their personal web pages, always mentioning the publication in Dixit with
the corresponding data. Following the Guidelines for Transparency
and Openness Promotion (TOP)
in Journal Policies and Practices, and in compliance with Level 1 of Guideline 2 (Data Transparency), authors are required to include in the articles that result from original research a section on "Data Availability" in which they report whether the dataset used in their research is available and, if so, where to access it. Review process
Manuscripts
are received by the scientific editor and reported to the Associate Editors,
who determine the relevance, opportunity or suitability of the article and
decides whether to proceed to the peer review phase or to reject it. In the
latter case, the author is informed of the decision without any type of return. Papers
submitted to refereed sections that approve the first phase of evaluation are
sent to two external reviewers according to the double-blind system, i.e., the
author does not know the identity of the reviewers and the reviewers do not
know the identity of the authors. The
reviewers suggest the publication or not of the article according to the
following possibilities: a) Publishable, b) Publishable with suggestions, c)
Publishable with modifications, and d) Not publishable. Dixit's rejection rate was 51 % in 2023. When an
article receives a "Publishable with modifications" review, the
Editorial Team oversees that the corrections have been incorporated. When an
article receives a "Not publishable" review, the Editorial Team
reserves the right to reject the article. In case of substantial differences
between two evaluations, the article is sent to a third reviewer. The
judgment is delivered to the authors within a 6-month period, counted from the
date the work was received. Also, the Editorial Team reserves the right to
define in which volume to publish the articles. The
anonymous evaluation is delivered to the authors so that they can make the
necessary adjustments for the publication of the article. The evaluated aspects
are the following: compliance with editorial guidelines; originality of the
article and its contributions to the corresponding field of knowledge; internal
coherence; clear statement of the main idea and solid foundation of same;
conclusions fitting to the purposes intended, as initially stated; adequate
handling of wide-ranging pertinent references; correct spelling and syntax. You
can access the evaluation form for research articles here. Anti-plagiarism policy
In
submitting their articles, the authors declare that they are original and
unpublished and free from plagiarism, including self-plagiarism. Dixit will
not accept works containing more than a 30% of self-plagiarism. Authors should
indicate, in a footnote on the first page, whether their articles are based on
materials available in previous publications, repositories or on the web.
Content reused in manuscripts must be properly referenced according to
the Guidelines for Authors. To ensure
the originality and unpublished nature of scientific articles, Dixit uses
the services of Similarity Check by Crossref and Turnitin. Use of language
Authors
are encouraged to use language that does not discriminate or reproduce
discriminatory biases based on gender, race, age, disability, socioeconomic
status, sexual orientation, etc. Ethical Code

accordance with ethical standards to ensure compliance with the best editorial
practices and a commitment to the highest professional standards. Digital preservation policyThrough
