If they exceed four lines, they should be indented one cm. from the left of the body of the text and be in typeface Times New Roman 11, single space.

References to the bibliography should be included, in parentheses, in the body of the text, and cite the author’s surname(s) followed by the year of publication and, where appropriate, a colon and the page or pages to which reference is made; i.e. (Müller 2003: 1-10). The authors will make sure that all the links inserted in the text are fine and not broken.

5. Articles should be accompanied by: a) two summaries, one in Spanish and the other in English (between 200-250 words); if the article is written in neither of these two languages, it should also be accompanied by a third summary in the language of the  original; b) the title of the article translated into English; c) a series of key words or descriptors in the two (or three) languages of the summaries (maximum of six); and d) the index of the numbered headings of the work, which will appear at the beginning of the article. The languages in which EdT publishes are Spanish, German, English, French and Italian.

6. The authors will include email address and affiliation, as well as the ORCID identifier in link format.

7. If the article contains illustrations, they must be of sufficient quality to be reproduced. They can be sent via computer, always maintaining the degree of quality, in the usual formats (BMP, TIFF, JPG). The authors will indicate the places in the text where they want the illustrations to be inserted; these instructions will be respected to the extent that the composition layout permits. Images and tables should be numbered and have descriptive titles or captions.

8. Any article that does not comply with these norms of format, presentation or content will be returned to the author.

9. The Editorial Board will acknowledge receipt of the works sent, and, after hearing the opinion of its reviewers regarding their relevance and the level of contribution of their content, as well as their formal structure, will decide whether it is appropriate to publish them. Authors will be notified of the outcome of the evaluation.

The authors alone are responsible for the content of their articles. EdT will, notwithstanding, maintain its rights to the works accorded by law.

10. In the case of research that is based on sex and gender, authors are strongly recommended to mention whether their conclusions have considered the potential differences of both sexes.
