Author Guidelines

REVESCO publishes original research works focused on introducing the latest contributions that deal with “Participation Companies” (Social Economy). These works are a support for the research made in this field and at the same time they assure the journal's success in the academic world.
Authors interested in submitting unpublished typed originals for publication should notice that the same work can't be published and will not be published in any other medium.

Papers are evaluated by two external referees (in case of discrepancy the report be asked to a third referee). The articles' selection is based on the scientific level and the latest contributions dealing with “participation companies” (Social Economy) and being a support for the research projects made in this field. Articles may be accepted, revised to a different degree or refused.

Papers must be managed in next URL:

• Bibliographic references must be realized in the text, indicating between parentheses the name of the author, followed by a comma, the year of publication, and in case of textual references two points will be added with the number of the said page. Example (2015: 12).
• All tables, figures and maps included in the paper should be numbered consecutively. Each table should have a short title, similar to that of the footnotes, which explains clearly and precisely the symbols used in the analysis. There will be a reference to them in the text like “Table 1”, etcetera.
• All bibliographic references should appear at the end of the paper, set-out in alphabetical order; and also in chronological order in case of different works of the same author.

The use of AI-assisted technologies

AI Authorship
This policy aims to provide greater transparency and guidance to authors, reviewers, readers, and editors regarding the use of AI-assisted technologies.
Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, currently do not meet the authorship criteria of REVESCO. It is important to note that attributing authorship implies accountability for the work, which cannot be effectively applied to LLMs.
Authors must declare in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies, and this will be appropriately cited. Declaring the use of these technologies promotes transparency and trust among authors, readers, reviewers, and editors, and facilitates compliance with the terms of use of the relevant tool or technology. The use of LLMs should be adequately cited following the APA (7th edition) guidelines, which can be consulted in full here (https://biblioguias.ucm.es/estilo-apa-septima/citar_inteligencia_artificial) :

In-text Citation
for example ChatGPT can have the following format:

• Citation in text (OpenAI, 2023)

We can also include the full texts of long LLM responses in an appendix to our work or in supplementary materials.
