ARTICLE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Guidelines for the writing of articles and research advances.

I. Extension
Articles: up to a maximum of twelve thousand words (including bibliography).
Research Advances: up to a maximum of ten thousand words (including bibliography).

II. Heading
1. Title of the article: centered and in bold type (in Spanish and English).
2. Author's name, institutional affiliation (university and/or institution to which he/she belongs, detailed in full), country, e-mail and ORCID.
3. Abstract of up to two hundred words (in Spanish and English): justified and single spaced. Font: Times New Roman 10. The abstract should be a short text describing the subject of the work, the methodology used and its conclusions. It should not include bibliographic citations.
4. Keywords (in Spanish and English): up to five, separated by commas. Font: Times New Roman 10.

III. Body of the text
Font: Times New Roman 12. Single spacing. Justified.
Margins: top and bottom: 2.5 cm; right and left: 3 cm.
Indentation: none.
Italics should be used:
- Titles and subtitles of books, magazines, newspapers, films.
- Titles of works of art, names of ships, airplanes and trains.
- Bibliographic terms in Latin and not very frequent Latin phrases and locutions.
- Foreign language terms that are not widely used in Spanish.
Quotation marks: textual quotations of up to 40 words should be written between double Latin quotation marks (« »). Double quotation marks (” ”) will be used for the same purpose when the word or words in question are in a sentence or paragraph between Latin quotation marks.
Outside the body of the text, do not number pages or add images, dates, logos or any type of design.

IV. Citations, bibliographical references and notes
The APA (American Psychological Association) seventh edition is followed: https://normas-apa.org/
V. Rules for writing book reviews
The same rules are followed as for writing articles, but with the following format:
1. Details of the book reviewed: Envelope:Title of the book, of Name and Surname of author(s) (without abbreviating). Place of publication: Publisher, Year.
2. Author's name, university and/or institution to which he/she belongs, country and e-mail.

Two types of reviews will be accepted:
(a) Standard review: the review cannot exceed 2000 words.
b) Review-essay: starting from a recently published book, other books by the same author may be included, preferably not too far away in time, but the pivot of the work must continue to be the book that constitutes the novelty. This type of review is a more comprehensive and interpretative work. It should not exceed 4000 words.

VI. Declaration of authorship

In the event that the article submitted to the journal has more than one author or has required the participation of other collaborators, the work should include, at the end, a statement of the roles of authorship and participation. The taxonomy of collaborative scholarly networks (CRediT) lists the different roles of collaboration such as data curation, conceptualization, writing (reviewing and editing) or supervision, among others (https://hdlab.space/taxonomia). Such a taxonomy aims to provide credit to all roles involved in a research process and to ensure that these are visualized and acknowledged during the communication of results.

When there are no collaborative roles beyond authorship and the authors have shared the writing of the paper, it may be stated: “X. and Y. contributed jointly to the writing of this article”.


VII. Supporting research data

Authors submitting articles to the journal must ensure the availability and preservation of the data used in them, in accordance with Law No. 26,899 on Digital Repositories. If the article is accepted, it is recommended that the data generated be deposited in one of the research data repositories (such as SciELO Data), prior to publication, so that the complete citation of the deposited data can be included in the article. The citation of the deposited dataset should appear in the bibliographic references section of the resulting publication. Citing the dataset allows authorship to be acknowledged and facilitates its location, validation and reuse, facilitates data metrics and impact, and promotes transparency in scientific research. Each dataset and subset of data should be cited independently with its own DOI or similar.
