Submissions

Author Guidelines

Editorial Policy

All submitted manuscripts will undergo a double-blind peer review. Only the manuscripts obtaining at least two positive reviews will be considered for publication. In the case the two mandatory reviews display disparate suggestions, a third review will be requested.

Manuscripts in Spanish, English, German, French, Italian, and Portuguese are welcome.

Submissions must not have been previously published, nor should they be under consideration anywhere else in any language.

Manuscript Preparation

Articles must not exceed 12.000 words, discussions 8.000 words, and book reviews 4.000 words (including footnotes and bibliography in all cases). Longer manuscripts could also be considered by the editorial team, if the interest and quality of the contribution justifies its acceptance.

Articles and discussions should include an abstract both in the language of the submitted paper and in English that should not exceed 150 words as well as three to five keywords, with the title also in English. The title of articles, in the language of the submitted text and in English, and the author (in small caps) will appear in Times New Roman 16 and in bold type. The institutional affiliation will have font Times New Roman 14. The abstract and key words, also in the language of the submitted and in English, will have font Times New Roman 11. If the language of the article or discussion is English, the title, abstract and key words will be also translated into Spanish.

Book reviews should have a title both in the language of the submitted paper and in English. They should also refer to the work under review as follows: Author, title, place, publishing house, year, number of pages and ISBN.

Please include a brief biographical note (250 words) that includes institutional affiliation, the titles of some publications, areas of specialization, and an e-mail address. Please prepare the manuscript for blind review deleting all self-references.

Style
For any contribution, the author should use letter type Time New Roman 12 and lines should be spaced 1.15 (text and notes). Notes should be numbered consecutively (superscript, no brackets) and appear as footnotes, using Times New Roman 10. The number of the annotation which points to the bibliographic information contained in the footnote has to appear directly after the quotation mark closing the citation.

Stress required in the text should be done through the use of italics, never in bold type.

Citations and references

References without excerpting throughout the manuscript must follow the Chicago author-date system, appearing in parenthesis in the main text with the following information: author’s last name, year of publication, and quoted pages.

Example:

(Jáuregui 2008, p. 25)

Excerpts cited throughout articles will use Times New Roman 11, without quotation marks and 1,5 left indented. Reviews shall not include indented excerpts, only brief citations, if necessary, with quotation marks and the reference in parenthesis of author’s last name, year of publication, and quoted pages.

Omissions in citations are marked by three dots placed in square brackets which are separated from the preceding and the following word by a single space.
