Author Guidelines

The Journal of the Research Institute of the Faculty of Mines, Metallurgy and Geographic Sciences (Rev. Inst. investig. Fac. mines metal science geogr.) of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos aims to disseminate articles of scientific quality, original and unpublished in Spanish and English, in the development of engineering fields: geological, mining, metallurgical, civil, environmental and geographical, promoting greater exchange of knowledge at an international level. The articles are published semiannually in June – December, in the continuous publication modality and to achieve the prompt dissemination of the research to the scientific community, in digital version.

All contributions must correspond to an original work, the opinion and concepts expressed in the articles are the exclusive responsibility of the authors. The Editorial Committee will study each article and decide on the convenience of its publication. In some cases it may accept the article with some modifications or it may suggest the most appropriate form for its new presentation. You can also reject or not accept the publication.

The magazine has set itself the objective of increasing visibility, the impact factor and its internationalization, therefore, only up to a maximum of 30% of articles with institutional affiliation of the magazine can be included.

Original Article. It is a primary article, the final product of scientific research and, therefore, it is original and unpublished and contributes to knowledge and must be validated through a peer review process, prepared according to editorial standards.

Review Article. It is the document resulting from research in which the results of published research on a specific topic that must be validated by a peer process are analyzed, systematized and integrated, and are derived from recent books and recapitulations of advances and development trends.

Periodicity

The institute's magazine publishes two issues a year, January-June and July-December. They are published in continuous mode with the purpose of achieving the prompt dissemination of research to the scientific community. The articles will be published when their editorial process has been completed and only their publication is missing. They will only be made fully available when the complete issue is published, respecting the publication periodicity of the journal.

AUTHORS ROLES

The CRediT taxonomy allows differentiating and recognizing the contribution of each author and co-author in a scientific article, distributing the roles of participation in 14 typologies through which an author can have recognition of it in the publication. All authors must participate in at least two of the four phases of the article: 1) planning, 2) data collection, 3) interpretation of the results, and 4) preparation of the manuscript. All authors of a scientific article must contribute significantly to the development of the research. In case of conflict, the CRediT taxonomy (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is applied, more information at: https://casrai.org/credit/
