  • It should begin with the complete title of the article with a maximum length of 80 characters including spaces, the name of the author or authors, as well as the corresponding author figure (compiler, coordinator, etc.), and the institution to which the participants pertains(s), mentioning only the main affiliation.
  • The categories of titles and subtitles should be clearly differentiated.
  • Footnotes should be indicated with superscript or superscript numbers.
  • Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the page, in the same type, but smaller than the size of the text (10 points), using the footnote insertion tool.
  • The bibliography should include all the publications cited in the book, each entry should have all the data according to the criteria consigned in the bibliography.
  • Iconography (photographs, maps, plans, sketches, etc.) must be in TIFF format at 300 dpi.Los archivos electrónicos se usarán para formar la revista, por lo que es conveniente que el autor evite dar formatos que compliquen la composición tipográfica, para lo que recomendamos:

Supporting material

Supporting material (photographs, plans, sketches, maps, tables, illustrations, models, graphs, etc.) should be indicated in parentheses in the text and inserted in the document in the place the author considers most appropriate, with its title, caption or source, as required. As this can generate very heavy and unwieldy files, they should be inserted in the text in low resolution and in a separate folder the files should be saved in 300 dpi. All iconography must have at least this resolution to be accepted. 10 figures maximum.

Structure of the articles

Depending on the section, articles should have a structure as defined below:

  • Dossier: It must have title, author, ascription, abstract, keywords, introduction, development, final considerations, references and author's semblance (including e-mail). The length of the title should be no more than 80 characters, the length of the article itself should be between 40,000 and 50,000 characters, including spaces and taking into account all the elements it contains. It must also have an abstract of no more than 700 characters, including spaces and keywords (no more than five). The biographical sketch should have no more than 500 and 800 characters. Likewise, the title of the article, the abstract and the keywords must be translated into English.
  • Research articles. Same characteristics as those of the Dossier.
  • Technical report: Must include title, author, affiliation, abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, experimentation, conclusions, references and author's biographical sketch (including e-mail). The length of the title should be no more than 80 characters, the length of the article itself should be between 15,000 and 20,000 characters, including spaces and taking into account all the elements it contains.
