ILLUSTRATIONS AND OTHERS

Illustrations in Industrial Data are called Figures and Tables. The journal publishes figures (graphs, photos, maps, schemes, etc.). Only original figures (created by the author) of high quality and resolution shall be accepted. The term “table” includes charts, lists, catalogs, inventories, and schematics.

The International System of Units (SI) should be used.

The decimal point should be used. For ease of reading, numbers may be divided into groups of three figures, which will not be separated by points or commas. This division in groups does not apply to numbers of four figures representing a year. Tables and Figures must be supplied in their native formats, that is to say, in an editable format, rather than in an image file.

GENERAL FUNDING CRITERIA FOR ARTICLES

1. Is it a novel article?

The application of some existing proposal adapted to another reality is not enough, but it must also have a contribution to knowledge in expansion or depth, in other words, what is the novel contribution to knowledge of the article? And can this contribution be considered relevant to the line of research to be publishable?

2. Does it contain a sufficient historical review of the literature?

All articles must be based on theoretical concepts, therefore, the writer must have considered the main ones in his article, including the background.

3. How can the result be generalized?

As mentioned above, the application of a solution to an organization is not enough, it is necessary to indicate how this result could be generalized.

4. Is there coherence between method and result?

In the article the results must be in accordance with the proposed method, in addition all the figures and tables must be explained and aimed at clearly demonstrating how each objective is achieved and how each hypothesis has been tested, avoiding long tables and figures.

Similarly, the conclusions and recommendations should be related to the fulfillment of the objectives and the contrast of the research hypotheses.
