The DOI number of the articles or books, when applicable, should be included in the list of references.

e.g: Surname, Name: Title of the Article, Journal, volume, year, DOI: xxxx; http://dx.doi.org/xxxx

• References to the bibliography should be made inside the text itself, between brackets, citing the author’s surname, followed by the year and edition and, when applicable, a colon followed by the page number(s) mentioned. The bibliographical references must be mentioned in the text.
• When quotations are no longer than two lines, they must appear in the text itself in quotation marks. When they are longer than two lines, they must appear without quotation marks in a separate, indented paragraph.
• Because the texts must be handled with layout programs before they are sent to press, it is preferable for format codes to be kept to a minimum. For the same reason, any notes must be presented as end notes and not as footnotes.
• Because the journal is not published in colour, authors should take special care and have special regard for this when including tables and graphs.

Any article not meeting these format, presentation, and content requirements should be returned to the author.

- Bibliographic references
Bibliographic references must appear in the body of the text, never in footnotes. For references in the text, the Harvard author-year system must be used (author, year: page).:

(Dahl, 1989: 323)

In references of documents with two authors, the last names will be united by “and”:

(Newton and Norris, 2000: 25)

(Telles and Ortiz, 2011)

If the work is by three or more authors, the first author will be referenced, followed by et al.:

(Amador et al., 1989)

If several works of an author or a group of authors  published in the same year are referenced, a, b, c, etc., should be added after the year.

(Franzen, 2012b)

When the works of several authors are referenced, the references should be separated by a semi-colon (;):

(Bourdieu, 2001; Harvey, 2013)

When the last name of the author referenced is part of the text, the year of the work referenced must always be indicated in parentheses:

Como afirma Goldthorpe (2010)…

Each of the bibliographic references must correspond to a reference in the final bibliography.

Self-referencing should be avoided and its use restricted only to indispensable cases.

- Notes
Notes should be used only exceptionally and they must be footnotes. They will contain only additional text, never complete bibliographic references.

-Bibliography
The bibliography will be placed at the end of the article. It will only contain references cited in the text. It is absolutely forbidden to include additional references. The authors must be listed in alphabetical order. The norms to be followed in bibliographic references at the end of the text are the following:

Authors
In the case of multiple authors, the authors will be separated by a coma, except for the last one who shall be separated by “and.” After the second author, the name should be written in direct order: name (only the initial), surname. If the work has several authors who are not specified, “Various” should be used.

Various. (2003): Introducción a la economía y administración de empresas, Madrid, Ediciones Pirámide.

b. When several works by the same author appear in the bibliography, they will be listed following strict chronological order, beginning with the oldest. The surname and name will have the same form in all the references.

Navarro, C. J. (2002): Democracia asociativa y oportunismo político, Valencia, Tirant lo Blanch.

c. The year of publication should include a, b, c, etc. if there is more than one item by an author dated the same year (e.j.: 2008a, 2008b, etc.).
