Preparation of Manuscripts

Original and unpublished manuscripts must be related to the topics suggested by the title and subtitle of the journal and which are specified in the Focus and Scope section. To opt for publication, it is mandatory for the manuscript to adhere to the following rules:

  1. The maximum length of the manuscript will be 70,000 characters including spaces for articles; 45,000 characters including spaces, for critical notes; and 15,000 characters including spaces, for recensions. This general rule is susceptible of exceptions, when it comes to contributions whose thematic unit requires it. Likewise, contributions that, for the same reason, exceed twice the length indicated here, may be published, in agreement with the author, in two successive numbers.
  2. The title of the contribution must appear in the original language and in English. Articles will be preceded by an abstract, between 500 and 1000 characters, followed by 5 to 7 keywords (or very short expressions); both, the abstract and the key words, should also be in the original language and in English. In the case of recensions, it is not necessary to add that additional information, is enough to include the complete data of the book reviewed, as long as the book does not exceed three years old.
  3. Manuscripts will be prepared in Word format (.doc or .docx) with the following specifications:

Font: Palatino Linotype

Font size: 11

Margins: 3 cm for side margins and 2.5cm for upper and lower margins

Line spacing: Single

  1. Citation and references should be prepared in order and with the folloing format: last name(s) and initial(s) of name, title, journal name, volume (if applicable), place of publication, publisher, year and page(s). For example:
