EDITORIAL GUIDELINES
Original manuscripts will be sent through the Open Journal System platform. An electronic copy of the manuscript must be attached as a Word or OpenOffece file.
Articles will be presented in Microsoft Word or Free Access Software format, including figures, tables in the body of the text. The margins offered by the word processor will be used. The body of the text will be written in Times New Roman font, size 12 and spacing 1.5, while the footnotes will also be in Times New Roman font, size 10 and single spacing. There is no extra spacing between paragraphs.
The length of the ARTICLES will be 5,000 - 8,000 words and that of the REVIEWS 1,500 words.
Articles should preferably be written in Spanish, English, French or Galician.
The sections in the text should be arranged according to the following format:
The first page of the manuscript will include:
The TITLE (bold capital letters) of the manuscript and descriptors or keywords (maximum five) in Spanish and English. Times New Roman 14, single spacing.
Name (bold lowercase) and SURNAME (bold uppercase). Times New Roman 12, single spacing
Name and address of the institution they belong to.
Full address (including email) of the author responsible for the correspondence.
Abstract (bold): in English and Spanish (not bold) 220-250 words.
Keywords (bold): between three and five (no more), separated by a period, in English and Spanish.
The following pages will be devoted to the text of the article, which should be divided into sections. Tables and figures will be included in the body of the text, numbered consecutively.
The headings (sections and subsections), after indentation (of 1 point), will be organized as follows:
a) The main heading, in bold and capital letters: Example: 1. EXAMPLE
b) The following, in bold lowercase: Example: 1.1 Example
c) The following, in italics and lowercase: Example: 1.1.1 Example
A blank space must be left between paragraphs, the heading and the new paragraph.
Footnotes will be included at the bottom of the page. The reference marks for the footnotes within the text will be indicated with consecutive numbers in superscript. The footnotes will be used for clarifying and pertinent comments, not to indicate bibliographic references, which will be included in the body of the text, as will be indicated later. These footnotes will be in Times New Roman font, size 10 and single spacing. Between note and note there will not be blank space.
Long quotations (more than 40 words) within the text will be in Times New Roman font, size 12, and will be marked with an indentation of 1 point for the entire quote -not just the first line-, without quotation marks, italicized and single spaced. A blank space will be left at the beginning and at the end.
The bibliographic reference at the end of these long quotations should be rounded font and the corresponding punctuation mark follows the parenthesis.
Short quotations (less than 40 words) within the text will be between quotation marks. The omission of the text in a quotation will be indicated by three ellipsis in square brackets […].
For long quotes of verses, quotation marks will not be used at the beginning and at the end, but they will be transcribed in italics and single spaced, as in the long quotes seen in point 9 (font 11, indentation of 1 point). Quotations of verses within the text will be between quotation marks, rounded font and each verse separated by slashes.
Punctuation marks (period, comma, etc.) will be placed after quotation marks or reference marks. Examples: "didactics": and "didactics"².
Italics (no quotation marks or underline) will be used to highlight a word or phrase within the text.
Bibliographic information should be in Roman script.
