Style Guidelines

The text —including citations, footnotes, tables, figure captions, and bibliographic references— must be typed clearly and neatly in Arial Narrow, 11-point font, single-spaced, in a single column, with the title centered in both Spanish and English. The authors’ names must include their academic degrees, along with their affiliations (the originating institution in bold first). Then the Resumen, the Abstract, and finally the keywords in Spanish and English (Keywords), all justified.

The rest of the body of the paper must be in double-column format (columns of equal width, 7.3 cm, with 1.39 cm of spacing between them), single-spaced, on letter-size pages (21.5 × 28 cm) with margins of 2.8 cm on the left and right, and 2.5 cm top and 2.4 cm bottom.

The articles must be at least 10 pages and no more than 16 pages in length. All pages must be numbered consecutively in the footer, centered, using Arial Narrow 11 regular font.

Figures

All graphic material must be referenced directly in the text or in parentheses, for example, “(see Fig. 1).” This material must be presented separately, numbered consecutively (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.), and must include the corresponding title and source.

Tables

When referring to your tables within the article, do not abbreviate “Table.” Tables must be numbered. The titles must appear centered above the table, in 9-point font, italicized and underlined.

                                                                                                                             

Subheadings

Subheadings indicate the main subdivisions of the text and should guide the reader through the topics addressed in the manuscript. No more than three levels of subheadings should be used. They must accurately reflect the structure of the document.

                                                                                                           

Footnotes and Quotations

Footnotes must always appear at the bottom of the page. They should be used to comment on, complement, or expand upon important information within the text. They should not be bibliographic notes unless they refer to verbatim quotations from journals or books. Direct quotations longer than three lines, or those requiring emphasis, must be written in a separate indented paragraph. Quotations included within the text must appear in quotation marks.

References

The article must contain a minimum of 20 references. For review articles, the minimum required is 50 references.

Criteria for Bibliographic References

We recommend that authors consider the following criteria when selecting bibliographic references:

  • A maximum of 30% of references from Latin America.

  • A minimum of 70% of references from international journals published outside Latin America.

  • A minimum of 70% of references from the last five years.

  • A maximum of 15% of references to monographs.

In-text citations should be justified , following alphabetical order in the document. For example: “Zapata Terán, L., & Tovar Molina, J. (2024).” It is strongly recommended that when adding new references, they be cited in the sequential order in which they are introduced in the original text. This approach enhances coherence and readability for the reader, maintaining a logical and organized structure in the presentation of bibliographic sources.
