FORMAT AND GUIDELINES FOR CONTRIBUTORS

ARTÍCLES:

The articles must be adapted to the format that can be downloaded by clicking on the following link: FORMATO DE ARTÍCULOS.

The articles, which must be unpublished originals, may be written in Spanish or English. As the articles will be sent to referees, no information regarding the author should be present in the articles. In order to give the publication wider readership, the following information should also be sent: an abstract (in Spanish and English) of about ten lines in length; the title of the article (in Spanish and English) and five key words in both Spanish and English.

It is advisable to adjust the articles to the following scheme:
— Introduction: section intended to indicate the object of study, describe the problem to be solved, the method of analysis and the sources used.
— Development: central section of the article that should be used to analyze the object of study. Authors may use as many headings or paragraphs as they deem convenient.
— Conclusions: in this section, it is necessary to specify in a systematic and precise way the results of the research, highlighting the original contributions offered by the article and the new lines of research that it opens.

QUOTATIONS

Short quotations (maximum three lines) will be included in the body of the text in quotation marks (" "). Guillemets (« ») should be used for embedded quotations. Longer quotations (more than three lines) will be indented and single-spaced, using an 11-point font, without quotation marks.

FOOTNOTES

Reference marks for footnotes will be placed after the puntuation marks. Example:

A continuación aparece en el texto una cita de Plinio: "Y a este propósito dice Plinio que no hay libro, por malo que sea, que no tenga alguna cosa buena";¹ pero no es la fuente directa el propio Plinio,² sino un espléndido prosista: Gabriel Alonso de Herrera. En 1513, en Alcalá de Henares, se imprime por primera vez su Obra de agricultura, creación pionera y maravilla de exactitud léxica.³
