Any researcher willing to send an original piece or work for its evaluation and subsequent publication must consider the criteria given in the Style-sheet.

Authors are kindly asked to follow these regulations. If not done, the Editorial Board might leave the paper out of the selection process.


1] General matters.

2] General Formatting information.

  • Format: the text should be written in 12 point Calibri font (if not available, Times New Roman). All text should be 1,5 spaced and fully justified, with no tabs. The left and right margins should be set at 3 cm. The top and bottom margins should be 2,5 cm.
  • The title should be centred on top of the first page, 14 point, boldface type. On the following line, right-justified, should be the name of the author. Below that, the author’s affiliation should be placed.
  • If needed, the body of the text will be divided in numbered section headings, using Arabic numbers, starting with 0 (followed by period and one space) for the Introduction. The sub-section headings will be numbered accordingly. All section and subsection headings will be left-justified (no tabs). Major section headings should be in bold. One blank line should precede and follow the major heading. E.g.

0. Introduction
1. History of the text
1.1 Manuscripts

 

3] Graphic elements.

  • Images appearing in the text will be inserted using the specific tool of the word processor. They will be in jpg format. They should be outside the body of the text, centred, and the label will be in 10 point Calibri (or Times New Roman), also centred below the image.

4] Notes, quotations and bibliographic references.

  • Endnotes will be placed in Calibri 10 font (or Times New Roman), single spaced, at the end of the article. In the text, the endnote number should always be placed before the punctuation marks.
  • Short quotations will be included within the text, between quotation marks and long quotations will be set in a new paragraph, in Calibri 10 font (or Times New Roman), indented and single spaced. There will be a blank line before and after the quote. Ellipsis will be marked by three dots between brackets: […]
  • Parenthetical references will follow this system: before the final period, they include the author’s last name, year of publication of the work cited, and page number. E.g. (Ostrom, 1948: 452)
  • References including an entire work should omit the page number. E.g. (Ostrom, 1948).

If the author has published more than one work in the same year, cursive letters are added: ‘1969a, 1969b.’

  • The works cited page will be included after the endnotes, in font 11, placed in alphabetical order following this system:
  • Books: surname of the author in capital letter, followed by the initial of the name (if they are two or more authors they will be separated for point and comma and behind the last author it will be written "and"; if the number of authors is excessive it can be chosen the formula “AA.VV." or for the incorporation of the name of the first author more the formula “et. al." in cursive); year of publication, title of the publication in cursive, place of publication and publishing house. Example:


DELEUZE, G. (2005): Lógica del sentido, Barcelona: Paidós.

  • Chapters in a book, parts of monographs and collaborations: surname of the author mentioned in capital letters, followed of the initial of the name; year of publication of the article, title of the collaboration or of the article, within quotation marks, followed of "in"; surname and initial of the name of the author/publisher/collector of the major work; title of the work, in cursive; place of publication, publishing house, year of publication, mentioned pages. Example:

PELTA, R. (2007): «No hay nada fuera del texto. Jacques Derrida: diseño gráfico y deconstrucción» en Calvera, A. (ed.), De lo bello de las cosas. Materiales para una estética del diseño, Barcelona: Gustavo Gili,  págs. xx-xxx.

  • Journal article: surname of the author mentioned in capital letters, followed by the initial of the name; year of publication, title of the article within quotation marks; title of the publication, in cursive, volume, number, date, place and mentioned pages. Example:

 

FERNÁNDEZ PORTA, E. (2009): «Entrevistas con escritores repulsivos», Quimera, nº 302, enero 2009, Madrid, págs.46-48.

  • Electronic documents: surname of the author mentioned in capital letters, followed by the initial of the name; title of the document, within quotation marks, name of the site, page (if it is), date of consultation between brackets, <url address>. Example:


BAUDRILLARD, J. «Fotografía o la escritura de la luz», Gato-Parlante, [10/03/2009],
http://gato-parlante.blogspot.com/2007/03/fotografa-o-la-escritura-de-la-luz.html


 

5] Typographic elements and diacritical symbols

  • Italic type can be used for the title of other publications, to highlight a word or short phrase in a language different from that of the main text. Italics should not be used for quotations.
  • Quotation marks should be used (“example“). There will be a space between inverted commas and these marks (“ ‘example’ “).
  • Underlined style will not be used.
