Author Guidelines

The submitted file is in Microsoft Word format and complies with the following formatting specifications: single line spacing, 12-point font size, Baskerville typeface. All illustrations, figures, and tables are embedded within the text in their corresponding locations, rather than placed at the end of the article.

Articles must be written in Spanish, although authors may optionally include the original-language abstract for those articles that were previously translated to comply with the journal’s guidelines. Qualitative, quantitative, and/or mixed-methods submissions will be accepted.

Measures will be taken to ensure a blind review, removing information regarding research funding, as well as the authors’ names, surnames, and institutional affiliations. References to works published by the authors must remain anonymous.

The article must be between 6,000 and 8,000 words in length, including the title, keywords, abstracts in Spanish and English, main body, notes, references, and graphic elements. It must not contain non-editable images.

For the “A debate” section, submitted texts must be 3,000–3,500 words in length.

The Spanish abstract must be 300 words long and include 3 to 5 keywords. Bibliographic references must follow APA 7th edition format.

Please fill in your adapted text using the following file: Contrapuntos en Educación template.
