ARTICLES

Preparation of the manuscript

  • Manuscripts should be sent ready for double blind review (no name, institutional affiliation or other references to the author).
  • The text of the article must be presented in both .docx and PDF formats.
  • The structure and order of the paper must be rigorously respected and is as follows:

1. Title in original language (if English, you must translate it into Spanish)

2. Abstract in original language (if English, you must translate it into Spanish)

3. Keywords in the original language (if English, you must translate them into Spanish). They should include at least 5 words that are not included in the title

4. Title in English

5. Abstract in English

6. Keywords in English. At least 5 that are not included in the title

7. Introduction

8. Body of the paper: with titled sections (and subsections).

9. Conclusion

10. Bibliographic references.

  • Length: maximum length is 10,000 words including the abstract, footnotes and references.
  • Page size must be A4, single spaced and on one side of the page only.
  • If the manuscript includes images they should be attached in a separate file in high quality jpg format. If the images are not sufficiently clear, the editors reserve the right to exclude them from the publication. The author must also send the corresponding permission to use the image if it does not belong to the author or is not free of copyright
  • The author must clear the file of metadata in order to guarantee the blind review.

To clear metadata from an individual file in Windows, access the properties of the file: go to File, Info, Check for problems, Inspect document, and then click on Inspect (all the boxes in the list must be selected). Review the list of results and start cleaning by clicking Remove all, where necessary. Finally, close the window and save the document again.

In some versions of Word this option is found in: the Microsoft Office button (main menu), Prepare, Inspect document..

 

Typographic format

  • Title, text of the article and bibliography in Garamond font, size 17 point and single line spacing. Abstract in Garamond font, size 12 points.
  • Abstract of the article, maximum length of 200 words.
  • The different sections of the text should be numbered and in bold. The subsections should be numbered and in italics.
  • Neither bold nor underlining should be used inside the text.
  • Footnotes in Garamond font, size 10, single line spacing
  • Do not indent the beginning of paragraphs.

 

Bibliographic references

• Bibliographic references should appear at the end of the document under the heading of "References" and organized in alphabetical order.
• IMPORTANT: References must include the name of the author, not just an initial.
• The style standard of the journal is APA, except in cases expressly indicated in these standards.
• Wherever possible, indicate DOI registration for references (after "doi:").
• Only those publications that have been used for the manuscript and that are specifically cited in the work should be included.

According to the style indicated, the bibliographical references must be inserted within the text, indicating in parentheses only the author's surname, year of publication and the page (s). Example:

 (Hempel, 1970: 8); (Cuevas, 2016. 60-65) 

If more than one work is used in the same citation: 

(Suppes, 1954; 1957).

If the author has more than one publication per year, differentiate them with small letters accruing to their order of appearance. Example:

(Frege, 1879a; 1879b); (Frege, 1879b, p. 34)

When the book cited has more than one author:

Two authors:    (Frege & Dedekind, 1879: 44);

Three authors:    (Frege, Dedekind & Peano, 1879: 44);

More than three:     (Frege et al, 2006).

The bibliography should come at the end of the article in alphabetical order, repeating the surnames in the case of several books or articles by the same author, followed by the year of publication corresponding to the bibliographic reference indicated in the article. Texts by the same author must be ordered according to their order of appearance.
