To ensure consistency and maintain the standards of our publication, we have established the following article submission policy for writers and editors. Please review these guidelines before submitting your articles.

    Article Topics:

    • Articles should focus on topics related to Costa Rica, including but not limited to news, culture, travel, lifestyle, environment, business, and technology.
    • We encourage unique perspectives, local insights, and well-researched information that is relevant to our audience.

    Article Structure:

    • Articles should be well-structured and organized into paragraphs with appropriate headings.
    • Include an engaging introduction that captures the reader’s attention and clearly states the article’s purpose.
    • Use subheadings to break down the content into sections for improved readability.
    • Ensure a logical flow of ideas throughout the article.

    Article Length:

    • Articles should typically be between 500 and 1,200 words in length. However, longer or shorter articles may be considered if the content justifies it.

    Originality and Citations:

    • All articles must be original and not published elsewhere. Plagiarism will result in immediate rejection.
    • If you include information or data from other sources, provide proper citations and references to give credit to the original authors or publications.

    Images and Alt Tags:

    • Include relevant images to enhance the visual appeal and engagement of your article.
    • Images should be of high quality and properly attributed to their source
    • Each image should have an appropriate alt tag that describes the content of the image for accessibility purposes.
    • If a specific image is required to be placed in a specific location within the article, but it is not provided at the time of submission, please include a clear placeholder indicating the desired position for the image.
    • Use a descriptive caption or tag to specify the image’s purpose and provide instructions for the editor to insert the image in the correct location.
    • The placeholder should be easily distinguishable from the surrounding text and preferably formatted differently (e.g., italicized, enclosed in brackets, or highlighted) to ensure clarity for the editor.

    Editorial Process:

    • Once you submit an article, our editorial team will review it for quality, relevance, and adherence to our guidelines.
    • We reserve the right to edit articles for clarity, style, and formatting without changing the original intent.
    • Our editors may provide feedback and suggestions for improvement. We appreciate your cooperation in addressing any required changes promptly.
