  • Research: The manuscript follows the structure of Introduction, Objectives, Methodology, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Supports.
  • Critique: The manuscript adheres to the minimum structure required by the standards. Introduction – Argumentation – Conclusion.

EÍDOS is published twice a year (twenty articles per year) and each issue has two sections with five articles each, all of which undergo blind peer review:

1) Dossier: a previously planned monographic section with a public call for article submissions through a call for papers coordinated by experts in the theme as Editors.

2) Miscellaneous: varied contributions within the general theme of the publication. The Editorial Board assigns manuscripts to the most relevant section.

Authors can submit manuscripts for evaluation according to the following schedule: Until March 1st for the June issue and until September 1st for the December issue. Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively through the OJS. No author can submit or have under review two manuscripts simultaneously, with a four-issue gap considered.
