Publication standards

Formal structure

  • The texts must be shared as Word files (.doc or .docx), with single line spacing, letter size, and 2.54 margins on each margin.
  • Texts must be structured according to the grammatical, spelling and syntactical rules of the language in which they are presented. The Editorial Committee may suggest stylistic and formal corrections.
  • Terms and expressions foreign to the language used must be in italics.
  • The title must be consistent with the topic discussed and must have its corresponding translation into Spanish (if the article is not written in this language) and English.
  • The author's information will not exceed three (3) lines and include a brief biographical summary as follows: full name and surname, most relevant academic training, institutional affiliation, email and ORCID number. This information must be presented in a separate document from the article, to avoid identification of the author by peers.
  • Charts, tables and images are not part of the length of the text presented. All exceptional cases will be consulted with the Editorial Committee.
  • If the article contains Word or Excel tables, they may be inserted into the text, preserving these formats. Tables should not be inserted as images, since in this case they cannot be modified and their quality is reduced when printed.
  • Figures, illustrations, diagrams, maps, photographs, images, etc., must be sent as image files (jpg, tiff or gif) with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. The author must be aware of the copyright of the material he/she wishes to add to his/her text. This information must be shared as an attachment when submitting the proposal.

  • The reference for this citation is included in parentheses, according to APA standards, where the author's surname, year of publication and page number (Surname, year, page number) are stated. E.g.: (Foucault, 2001, p. 7), (Foucault, 2001, pp. 7-9). It is important to note that, if a specific idea or a specific text is cited, the page or pages where they are found must be indicated.
  • The guidelines mentioned will apply equally to the case of citations taken from the Internet.
  • In APA, the inclusion of footnotes is only possible when a clarification of a section of the main text is necessary.
