Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

    The instructions concern three levels of normalization:
    1st - All published texts undergo blind peer review.
    2nd - Bibliographic references follow international standards (ISO – International Organization for Standardization).
    3rd - The style and formatting of the texts obey previously established rules.

Author Guidelines

1. BLIND PEER REVIEW

Publication procedures require the adoption of the double-blind arbitration model by academic peers (double-blind peer review). 

2. QUOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES

Bibliographic references follow the international standard ISO 690:2010, which governsthe bibliographic references of different types of documents, including electronic documents. This international standard specifies the bibliographic elements that must be included in references to published documents and the order in which these elements must be declared. 

2.1. THROUGHOUT THE TEXT TEXTUAL

QUOTES (excerpts in the body of the text)

If these are short excerpts, integrated into the body of the text, they must be enclosed in quotation marks, without italics. The phrase deletion indication, always enclosed in square brackets […], is only used when the deletion occurs in the middle of the original text. Example: 

This retrospective universality of the Vikings, transformed into an archaeological model for reading a diffuse past, is well represented in the reading of the gate of a city in Kura of Niebla: in it, there are “some statues of people who look like the Normans who are now fighting the Muslims, as well as reproductions of ships like theirs [...], undoubtedly made as talismans that should help keep them away from your country". 

In the case of larger excerpts, namely with three or more lines of text, they must be cited in separate paragraph(s), without quotation marks, with an indent of 1.25 cm on the left side, of equal size and spacing those in the text, in italics. The indication of phrase deletion, always in square brackets [...] and without italics. 

A man is worth, above all, the education he possesses, because only this is capable of harmoniously developing his faculties, in order to maximize them for the benefit of himself and others. […] Educating a society means making it progress, making it a harmonious and conjugated set of individual forces, in turn developed to their fullest extent. And we can only make progress and develop a society by ensuring that the continuous, incessant and persistent action of education reaches human beings, from three aspects: physical, intellectual and moral.
