Jerry Moore sends this new editorial policy defining the difference between articles and the new category of research reports for Ñawpa Pacha. Our field will benefit from having the additional opportunities offered by Ñawpa Pacha for fast turnaround of recent discoveries. For the last several issues, Andean Past has been publishing research reports up to 2000 words in length and are editor-reviewed only, whereas articles have no strict length limit and are also peer-reviewed.

Ñawpa Pacha announces a new editorial policy. Continuing its long-standing commitment to publish data-rich manuscripts on Andean archaeology, Ñawpa Pacha will now publish two classes of submissions: articles and reports. Articles are usually 8,000 – 10,000 words in length (including abstracts, text, tables, notes, acknowledgements, references cited) and are often extensively illustrated. Research reports are up to 2500 - 3000 words long, and with a maximum of 7 figures and 3 tables. Authors should identify in a cover letter whether their submissions are to be considered as an article or as a research report. The editor will make an initial determination if submissions are appropriate. Articles and research reports are peer-reviewed.
