Author Guidelines

FORMAT

The length of the contributions is defined in the section "Open Sections". The article will have key words and a summary in both Spanish and English. The summary of the text will have between 200 and 250 words that will not be computed in the total length of the document. The abstract should respond to the "what I have done" without any vague statements, indicating the targets of the study, its relevance, briefly indicating the methodology used and the main conclusions.

The format presented will be in DIN A4 vertical sheet with Helvetica Light typography or in its defect Calibri of 10 points. The titles and subtitles will be in size 12. The body of the text, the bibliography and the titles of the tables and figures will be in size 10. Finally the notes of the tables or figures, as well as the footnotes will be in size 8. 

Bold type will only be allowed in the titles, i.e. the article, in those titles of first level divisions, and in those referring to tables and figures. Bold should not be used in the text itself.

The use of complete sentences in capital letters is only allowed in the main title of the article, while the rest of the elements will use capital letters insofar as the rules of the written language require it. The use of italics will be reserved for the second level subtitles, as well as in the text itself when using a language other than the one in which it is written, or when one wishes to emphasize some expression.
