Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.-
Originality: Submitting an article to this journal implies the acceptance of the Declaration of Originality and Authorship.
Download file - Submission Anonymization and Data Sheet: Manuscripts will be submitted fully anonymized, following the formal requirements and detailed guidelines provided in the Submission Templates for each section. Additionally, authors are required to upload a file containing the information specified in the Data Sheet. Submissions that do not comply with this formality will be rejected before entering the review process.
- Proofreading Certificate: Submissions written in a language other than the author's native language must be accompanied by a certificate of editing, revision, and/or translation. The use of online spell checkers or AI applications does not constitute an exemption from this requirement.
- Submission format: The text format of the articles must be in accordance with the Submission Templates available to the authors. The length will be adjusted to the section to which the submission is made as indicated in Section Policies.

- Research Data Deposit Policy: Teknokultura recommends that authors deposit the data or resources (qualitative and/or quantitative) used in the preparation of their article in public repositories of their own academic institutions or FAIR repositories (e.g., Zenodo). These materials may include bibliographic lists, tables, images, observation protocols, interview scripts, or, among other possibilities, the prompts used in searches and bibliographic queries assisted by AI applications. The deposit of data or these other research materials will be considered during the evaluation process as an additional merit, especially for texts submitted to the “Karpeta” section. If data sharing is not possible, the authors must briefly explain the reason for their decision in their specific case. More information and examples on how to proceed with the deposit are available here.
