Submission Information
1. Topics of interest. Revista de Historia Económica – Journal of Iberian and Latin American Economic History (RHE-JILAEH) publishes original research papers on economic history and related fields in the social sciences.
RHE-JILAEH publishes articles with a specific, but not exclusive, focus on economic history in Iberia and Latin America. The journal has a broad chronological coverage from pre-modern and colonial times to contemporary issues and welcomes contributions with comparative approaches and long-term analysis. RHE-JILAEH recognizes the importance of collecting historical data and will also publishes notes that discuss and describe the production of historical datasets. RHE-JILAEH publishes articles in English and Spanish.
Papers should be original and should be neither published nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. This journal is included in a number of abstracting and indexing services, including SOCIAL SCIENCES CITATION INDEX, SOCIAL SCISEARCH, JOURNAL CITATION REPORTS / SOCIAL SCIENCES EDITION, SCOPUS, ECON-LIT, LATINDEX, CABELL’S, HA, IBSS and CINDOC- ISOC.
2. Evaluation process and publication times. RHE-JILAEH publishes three issues yearly (spring, autumn and winter) with Numbers 1, 2 and 3 being published before the end of March, September and December respectively each year. The editors will make every attempt to be rigorous and transparent throughout the evaluation process from the initial receipt of the manuscript to its final acceptance (see Review Process); we also make a commitment to reduce the time between acceptance of an article and its publication as far as possible.
3. Submission of manuscripts. Manuscripts may be sent in Spanish, English or Portuguese and should be submitted in a Microsoft Word file format. RHE-JILAEH only publishes articles in English and Spanish. Graphs, tables and maps which cannot be included in the file may be submitted in an additional Excel file. Any questions should be directed to the editorial office by email ([email protected]).
Authors undertake to provide the data, sources, methods, and other details sufficient to permit replication if required by the referees. RHE-JILAEH encourages all authors to share their data as well as the sources, methods and procedures used to obtain them to allow their result to be evaluated by other researchers.
4. Format of submission. Manuscripts are to be submitted double-spaced. The text length should not exceed 12,000 words, including footnotes, references and appendix, if any, but excluding tables and figures. Research Notes or Comments should not be more than 5,000 words in length. In the case of very long appendices the journal reserves the right to publish them online only as supplementary material.
Please note that any submission over this limit will not be considered and will be rejected unread.
The first page of the paper should include the title, name of author(s), academic affiliation and e-mail address. Title, Abstracts in Spanish and English of a maximum length of 150 words, three to five keywords and JEL classification should be included on a second page. The rest of the manuscript must not include further references to the author(s) or any other mention which may reveal their identity (including references made in footnotes) in order to ensure the anonymous refereeing process.
In the final version of the article, Acknowledgements should appear as an additional short section following the main text and preceding any appendices and the references. The structure of papers should be: text with footnotes, followed by appendices, and references (the latter single-spaced). Section heads must be designated with Arabic numbers (1, 1,2 3, etc.) and a short title.
When possible, graphs, tables and maps should be included on the corresponding text page, using the same font and a similar letter size as used in the text. If this is not possible, they may be included at the end of the manuscript or in a separate file. All pages should be numbered. All equations should be typed and numbered in their proper location in the text or appendix.
RHE-JILAEH follows the author-date system. References are cited in the text, in parentheses, by author’s last name, year of publication and page numbers if necessary.
5. Editing guidelines:
When an article has been accepted for publication it is returned to the author, whose responsibility it is to make any alterations necessary to bring the material into conformity with these guidelines.
Authors have the option to publish open access. Cambridge has a growing number of agreements with institutions which provide funding for open access publishing. This means that authors from these institutions can publish open access and the institutions may pay the charge. If one of the co-authors of the paper is in an institution with an agreement with Cambridge, this co-author will act as the corresponding author.
a. References. Bibliographical references should be listed by surname of author (in capital letters) in alphabetical order under a separate heading ‘REFERENCES’ at the end of the manuscript. If more than one text by the same author(s) is cited for a particular year, then the works should be distinguished by a letter, e.g. CLARK (2004a) and CLARK (2004b). References are limited to the works cited in the manuscript. The following examples show the format to be applied to references:
MARTIN ACEÑA, P. y PONS, Mª A. (2005): “El sistema monetario y financiero” en A. Carreras y X. Tafunell (eds.) Estadísticas históricas de España: siglos XIX y XX. Bilbao: Fundación BBVA, vol. 3, pp. 645-706
STOLZ, Y. and BATEN, J. (2012): “Brain Drain in the Age of Mass Migration: Does Relative Inequality Explain Migrant Selectivity?” Explorations in Economic History 49 (2), pp. 205-220
O’ROURKE, K.H. and WILLIAMSON, J.G. (1999): Globalization and History. The Evolution of a Nineteenth-Century Atlantic Economy. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press
In the case of articles or contributions to collections of essays, it is essential to give complete page references. Please pay attention to the use of ‘and’ or ‘y’, in case of more than one author depending the language of the article, regardless of the language of the reference cited. (e.g. in English, MARTIN ACEÑA, P. and PONS, Mª A.; in Spanish, O’ROURKE, K.H. y WILLIAMSON, J.G.)
Please note that for references in English, initial capitals are used in each word for book or article titles which is not the case in Spanish. Follow the rules of capitalization for each language. When citing the Revista de Historia Económica, issues from 2006 onwards should be followed by Journal of Iberian and Latin American Economic History.
If the paper includes references to archives, statistics or documentary sources, these should be listed in chronological order under an additional ‘Sources and Official Publications’ heading before the bibliographical references.
b. Footnotes. All notes are to be included as footnotes and numbered in ascending order of appearance in Arabic numbers as superscript after the full stop at the end of the sentence. Footnotes should be confined, as far as possible, to necessary references and clarification. Complete bibliographical references should not be included in the notes; only publication year and page numbers, i.e. Cubel (2003, pp. 322-325). Please, do not use op. cit.
c. Quotations. Literal quotations should be limited and separated from the rest of the text if they exceed three lines. In this case they will be single-spaced and indented. All other quotations may appear in the text citing reference and should be clearly identified by quotation marks. Any change(s) made to the original quotation should be indicated by square brackets.
d. Figures. Figures, graphs, and maps should be original. They will include a short title and should be numbered in order of appearance. Sources for graphs and maps should always be provided, using the same conventions for source references as in footnotes. Remember that once articles are accepted for publication authors will be asked to send figures as Excel files with data attached so that formatting changes can be made.
Charges apply for all colour figures that appear in the print version of the journal. At the time of submission, contributors should clearly state whether their figures should appear in colour in the online version only, or whether they should appear in colour online and in the print version. There is no charge for including colour figures in the online version of the journal but it must be clear that colour is needed to enhance the meaning of the figure, rather than simply being for aesthetic purposes. If you request colour figures in the printed version, you will be contacted via email by CCC-Rightslink who are acting on our behalf to collect Author Charges. For the avoidance of delays in the publication of your article, please monitor your ‘junk’ email folder and follow CCC-Rightslink instructions carefully.
6. Licence to Publish Form. It is a condition of publication that the author signs a licence to publish form. Lead authors of co-authored articles are asked to sign on behalf of all co-authors. Requests from third parties to reproduce or translate parts or the whole of articles will be considered by the editorial board. Any failure to comply with these guidelines may be considered a reason for rejection of the manuscript submitted or occasion a substantial delay in its processing. If you have any questions about completing the form, please contact the journal’s editorial office.

Siempre que sea posible, los gráficos, cuadros y mapas se deben incluir dentro del texto en su página correspondiente y deberán ir con el mismo tamaño y tipo de letra que el texto principal. Si no es posible se incluirán al final del manuscrito o en un archivo separado. Todas las páginas deben ir numeradas. Las ecuaciones deben incluirse y numerarse en el lugar apropiado del texto y/o del apéndice.
RHE-JILAEH sigue el sistema de citación autor-fecha. Las referencias se deben incluir en el texto, entre paréntesis, con apellido del autor, año de publicación y número de páginas en su caso.
5. Normas de edición:
Cuando un artículo es aceptado para publicación el autor tiene la responsabilidad de adaptar el manuscrito de acuerdo con las siguientes normas de edición.
Los autores tienen la opción de publica en acceso abierto. Cambridge tiene un número creciente de acuerdos con instituciones que proporcionan financiación a sus miembros para la publicación en acceso abierto. Eso significa que los autores de estas instituciones pueden publicar en acceso abierto y su institución cubre los costos. Si uno de los autores está afiliado a una institución u organismo con un acuerdo de este tipo con Cambridge, ese coautor deberá actuar como autor correspondiente.
a. Referencias. Las referencias bibliográficas irán ordenadas alfabéticamente por el apellido (en mayúsculas) del autor, bajo el título “Bibliografía” y al final del original. Si se citan dos o más obras de un determinado autor publicadas en el mismo año, éstas se distinguirán por medio de una letra. Ejemplo: Clark (2004a) y Clark (2004b). Las referencias se limitarán a obras citadas en el trabajo. Como ejemplos, se incluyen los siguientes:
MARTIN ACEÑA, P. y PONS, Mª A. (2005): “El sistema monetario y financiero” en A. Carreras y X. Tafunell (eds.) Estadísticas históricas de España: siglos XIX y XX. Bilbao: Fundación BBVA, vol. 3, pp. 645-706
STOLZ, Y. and BATEN, J. (2012): “Brain Drain in the Age of Mass Migration: Does Relative Inequality Explain Migrant Selectivity?” Explorations in Economic History 49 (2), pp. 205-220
O’ROURKE, K.H. and WILLIAMSON, J.G. (1999): Globalization and History. The Evolution of a Nineteenth-Century Atlantic Economy. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press
En el caso de artículos o contribuciones en colecciones de ensayos, es imprescindible incluir la referencia completa de las páginas. Preste atención al uso de ' and ' o ' y ', en el caso de varios autores dependiendo del idioma del artículo e independientemente del idioma de la referencia citada. (ejemplo: artículo en inglés, MARTIN ACEÑA, P. and PONS, Mª A.; artículo en español, O’ROURKE, K.H. y WILLIAMSON, J.G.).
En el caso de referencias con títulos en inglés, se deben usar mayúsculas en la letra inicial de cada palabra del título, lo que no es norma en español. Siga las normas de cada idioma para el uso de palabras con mayúscula inicial. Cuando se citen números de la Revista de Historia Económica desde 2006 (incluido) deben citarse con el nombre Revista de Historia Económica/Journal of Iberian and Latin American HIstory.
Si el artículo incluye referencias a fuentes de archivo, estadísticas o documentos históricos, estás irán incluidas aparte, en orden cronológico, bajo el título ‘Fuentes y publicaciones oficiales’ y antes de las referencias bibliográficas.
b. Notas a pie de página. Todas las notas irán a pie de página, numeradas con caracteres arábigos, en formato superíndice y en orden creciente siempre tras un punto. Las notas al pie se deben limitar, siempre que sea posible, a referencias y aclaraciones al texto necesarias. En las notas no se incluirán referencias bibliográficas completas, sino solamente su forma abreviada. Ejemplo: Cubel (2003, pp. 322-325). Por favor, no utilice op.cit.
c. Citas. Las citas textuales se limitarán en lo posible, irán entrecomilladas y, cuando excedan de tres líneas, separadas del cuerpo principal del texto. En este último caso irán sangradas y a espacio sencillo. El resto de citas textuales se incluirá en el texto identificando claramente la referencia. Cualquier cambio introducido en la cita original deberá indicarse encerrándolo entre corchetes.
d. Cuadros. Los cuadros se deben crear utilizando la opción para Tablas de Word y no como figuras escaneadas mediante cortar y pegar o creadas con tabuladores. Todos los cuadros deben incluir un título breve e ir numerados en orden secuencial de aparición. Las fuentes y notas (en su caso) se deben incluir obligatoriamente utilizando las mismas normas de estilo que en el texto y las notas al pie. Por favor, evite el uso de ‘Elaboración propia’ o ‘Calculado por el autor’. Las notas de los cuadros se deben numerar con a, b, c, etc.
e. Gráficos y figuras. Los gráficos, figuras y mapas deben ser originales. Deben incluir un título breve e ir numerados en orden secuencial de aparición. Las fuentes y notas (en su caso) se deben incluir obligatoriamente utilizando las mismas normas de estilo que en el texto y las notas al pie. Recuerde que una vez que el artículo haya sido aceptado para publicación se solicitará a los autores el envío de los gráficos en archivo Excel con los datos originales para facilitar su edición.
Se aplicarán un cargo a los gráficos y figuras en color que aparezcan en la edición impresa. En el momento de envío del artículo, el/los autor/es deberán manifestar si desean que las figuras aparezcan en color sólo en la versión online o si también deberán aparecer en color en la edición impresa. No hay cargo para las figuras en color en la edición online de la revista, pero el color deberá servir para destacar o mejorar la comprensión del gráfico y no solamente con fines estéticos. Si se solicitan gráficos y figuras en color en la edición impresa, CCC-RightsLink contactará con el autor en representación nuestra para recaudar los cargos. Para evitar retrasos en la publicación de su artículo siga sus instrucciones. (Revise su buzón de correo no deseado).
6. Formulario de Copyright. Es condición para la publicación de un artículo que el autor ceda los derechos al propietario de la Revista: Instituto Figuerola de Historia y Ciencias Sociales de la universidad Carlos III de Madrid. En el caso de varios autores, el autor designado como principal, deberá firmar en nombre de sus co-autores. Las solicitudes de terceros para reproducir o traducir partes o el artículo completo serán examinadas por el Consejo editorial. Cualquier incumplimiento de estas directrices puede considerarse un motivo para el rechazo del manuscrito o generar un retraso considerable en su tramitación. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre cómo completar el formulario, póngase en contacto con la oficina editorial de la revista.

Policy on prior publication
When authors submit manuscripts to this journal, these manuscripts should not be under consideration, accepted for publication or in press within a different journal, book or similar entity, unless explicit permission or agreement has been sought from all entities involved. However, deposition of a preprint on the author’s personal website, in an institutional repository, or in a preprint archive shall not be viewed as prior or duplicate publication. Authors should follow the Cambridge University Press Preprint Policy regarding preprint archives and maintaining the version of record.
English language editing services
Authors, particularly those whose first language is not English, may wish to have their English-language manuscripts checked by a native speaker before submission. This step is optional, but may help to ensure that the academic content of the paper is fully understood by the Editor and any reviewers.
In order to help prospective authors to prepare for submission and to reach their publication goals, Cambridge University Press offers a range of high-quality manuscript preparation services, including language editing. You can find out more on our language services page.
Please note that the use of any of these services is voluntary, and at the author's own expense. Use of these services does not guarantee that the manuscript will be accepted for publication, nor does it restrict the author to submitting to a Cambridge-published journal.
Competing Interests
All authors must include a competing interest declaration in their title page. This declaration will be subject to editorial review and may be published in the article.
Competing interests are situations that could be perceived to exert an undue influence on the content or publication of an author’s work. They may include, but are not limited to, financial, professional, contractual or personal relationships or situations.
If the manuscript has multiple authors, the author submitting must include competing interest declarations relevant to all contributing authors.
Example wording for a declaration is as follows: “Competing interests: Author 1 is employed at organisation A, Author 2 is on the Board of company B and is a member of organisation C. Author 3 has received grants from company D.” If no competing interests exist, the declaration should state “Competing interests: The author(s) declare none”.
Authorship and contributorship
All authors listed on any papers submitted to this journal must be in agreement that the authors listed would all be considered authors according to disciplinary norms, and that no authors who would reasonably be considered an author have been excluded. For further details on this journal’s authorship policy, please see this journal's publishing ethics policies.
Author affiliations
Author affiliations should represent the institution(s) at which the research presented was conducted and/or supported and/or approved. For non-research content, any affiliations should represent the institution(s) with which each author is currently affiliated.
For more information, please see our author affiliation policy and author affiliation FAQs.
ORCID
We encourage authors to identify themselves using ORCID when submitting a manuscript to this journal. ORCID provides a unique identifier for researchers and, through integration with key research workflows such as manuscript submission and grant applications, provides the following benefits:
- Discoverability: ORCID increases the discoverability of your publications, by enabling smarter publisher systems and by helping readers to reliably find work that you have authored.
- Convenience: As more organisations use ORCID, providing your iD or using it to register for services will automatically link activities to your ORCID record, and will enable you to share this information with other systems and platforms you use, saving you re-keying information multiple times.
- Keeping track: Your ORCID record is a neat place to store and (if you choose) share validated information about your research activities and affiliations.
See our ORCID FAQs for more information. If you don’t already have an iD, you can create one by registering directly at https://ORCID.org/register.
ORCIDs can also be used if authors wish to communicate to readers up-to-date information about how they wish to be addressed or referred to (for example, they wish to include pronouns, additional titles, honorifics, name variations, etc.) alongside their published articles. We encourage authors to make use of the ORCID profile’s “Published Name” field for this purpose. This is entirely optional for authors who wish to communicate such information in connection with their article. Please note that this method is not currently recommended for author name changes: see Cambridge’s author name change policy if you want to change your name on an already published article. See our ORCID FAQs for more information.
Supplementary materials
Material that is not essential to understanding or supporting a manuscript, but which may nonetheless be relevant or interesting to readers, may be submitted as supplementary material. Supplementary material will be published online alongside your article, but will not be published in the pages of the journal. Types of supplementary material may include, but are not limited to, appendices, additional tables or figures, datasets, videos, and sound files.
Supplementary materials will not be typeset or copyedited, so should be supplied exactly as they are to appear online. Please see our general guidance on supplementary materials for further information.
Where relevant we encourage authors to publish additional qualitative or quantitative research outputs in an appropriate repository, and cite these in manuscripts.
Author Hub
You can find guides for many aspects of publishing with Cambridge at Author Hub, our suite of resources for Cambridge authors.
Use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools
We acknowledge the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the research and writing processes. To ensure transparency, we expect any such use to be declared and described fully to readers, and to comply with our plagiarism policy and best practices regarding citation and acknowledgements. We do not consider artificial intelligence (AI) tools to meet the accountability requirements of authorship, and therefore generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and similar should not be listed as an author on any submitted content.
In particular, any use of an AI tool:
- to generate images within the manuscript should be accompanied by a full description of the process used, and declared clearly in the image caption(s)
- to generate text within the manuscript should be accompanied by a full description of the process used, include appropriate and valid references and citations, and be declared in the manuscript’s Acknowledgements.
- to analyse or extract insights from data or other materials, for example through the use of text and data mining, should be accompanied by a full description of the process used, including details and appropriate citation of any dataset(s) or other material analysed in all relevant and appropriate areas of the manuscript
- must not present ideas, words, data, or other material produced by third parties without appropriate acknowledgement or permission
Descriptions of AI processes used should include at minimum the version of the tool/algorithm used, where it can be accessed, any proprietary information relevant to the use of the tool/algorithm, any modifications of the tool made by the researchers (such as the addition of data to a tool’s public corpus), and the date(s) it was used for the purpose(s) described. Any relevant competing interests or potential bias arising as a consequence of the tool/algorithm’s use should be transparently declared and may be discussed in the article.
