Example:

If the publication has a DOI or Handle, it will be included at the end of the reference, without including the URL or the date of consultation. Examples:

2) Once the registration has been made, visit the main page of Simple Text Query(http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery/) , enter the email address with which the registration has been made in the corresponding box and paste the entire bibliographic list of our work in the box provided for this purpose. It is recommended that the works be in a widely recognized format, arranged alphabetically and separated from each other by a blank line. Then click on "Submit", and, in one or two minutes, the system will indicate, highlighting them in red, which works have a DOI. 

AUTHORS' CONTRIBUTION (IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE AUTHOR)

In articles where there is more than one author, the contribution of each one of them must be specified at the time of elaboration, using the system adopted by Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT). To maintain the anonymity of the authors, A should be indicated for the first author, B for the second author, and so on. It should be written in the following terms: A (first author): conceptualization, B (second author): data processing, B (second author): formal analysis, C (third author): acquisition of funds, research, etc.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON GOOD EDITORIAL PRACTICES IN GENDER EQUALITY

In accordance with the principle of equality between the sexes, the journal uses inclusive language, and advises authors to use it. It is recommended to replace the use of the generic masculine with other terms that are not discriminatory (such as collective nouns or adjectives without gender marking), to avoid expressions that perpetuate gender stereotypes and to employ strategies aimed at achieving language that is as inclusive as possible, following the guidelines for the use of gender-inclusive language established by the United Nations.

The research papers will try to avoid gender biases that use the masculine as a universal reference. In this regard, it is advisable to consult the manual Gender in Research prepared by the European Community, and, where appropriate, to report on sex in research on people, presenting the results disaggregated by sex.

EDITORIAL PROCESS

Papers that do not conform to the "Format and Editorial Standards" established on this page by the journal will be returned to their authors for eventual modification.

The papers will be analyzed with a plagiarism prevention tool. The journal's management may reject papers if it considers that they present plagiarism or a high number of coincidences with other texts.

In order to maintain anonymity in the evaluation, authors are advised to avoid quoting themselves in the first person and not to include data in the article that would allow them to be identified (if the article passes the evaluation, personal data may be added before publication).

Articles that conform to the format and editorial standards will be subject to a two-pronged evaluation process:

Initially, the members of the journal's Editorial Board will make a selection of the papers received, assessing whether each article meets the following requirements: 1. It reaches the level required of academic articles; 2. Its wording and idiomatic usages are correct; 3. The bibliography is coherently cited and has sufficient bibliographic support; 4. It follows the conventions of scholarly articles and is not an essayistic or literary article; 5. It strictly adheres to the themes of the journal (literature and Spanish language and its didactics) and 6. It can be evaluated anonymously (since there is no evidence to deduce the identity of its author). In this first phase, the articles can be evaluated as follows: "Passes the first selection" / "Passes the first selection if modifications are made" / "Does not pass the first selection".

In a second stage, the articles that have passed the first selection will be evaluated anonymously by two experts in the corresponding area of knowledge, outside the publishing institution of the journal. The external reviewers will complete an evaluation form in which they will rate (according to the scale: Excellent / Good / Acceptable / Low) the following aspects of the article: 1. Originality and interest of the topic; 2. Scientific and methodological rigor; 3. Novelty and relevance of the research results; 4. Significant and up-to-date bibliography and 5. Formal style and presentation; and make one of the following recommendations on the same: "Publish" / "Publish with amendments" / "Do not publish". Likewise, the evaluators will have a space in the form in which to make as many indications, suggestions or corrections as they consider appropriate.

In the case of contradictory reports, the Editorial Board will request a third report and subsequently make a decision on the publication of the article. The decision of the Editorial Board will be final, and will be communicated to the authors within a maximum period of 6 months from the receipt of the work (the vacation periods of the designated reviewers will be considered non-working for this calculation). 

Papers with two positive reports will be sent to their authors so that they can make any corrections suggested by the reviewers. Authors have a maximum period of one month to return the articles, which will be published when they are corrected.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

From Ogigia, authors are urged to deposit the complementary material, at least the research data underlying the publications, in institutional or non-thematic open access repositories federated in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
