  2. Formats: JPG, PNG, TIFF. The file must be at least 300 dpi at the planned publication size, which is high-resolution in its 100% size.

  4. Images should be numbered (Figura 1, Figura 2, etc.) and referenced parenthetically in the text (Figure 1).

PREPARING A MANUSCRIPT FOR (ANONYMOUS) EVALUATION (essays, review essays, creative works) - Does NOT apply to book reviews

To ensure that the assessment of both articles and creative works is carried out anonymously, the authors are asked to erase from their text any signs of their identity. We advise following these guidelines:

  • The author's name is not to appear on the manuscript’s title page, heading, or footer.
  • If the author cites a previous work of their own, the name must be replaced in the citation with “author,” and the appropriate reference must be left out in the bibliography. This information must be added to the article's final version once the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
  • Omit every reference to previous versions of the articles and notes of appreciation to institutions or colleagues that could compromise the author's anonymity. This information can also be included in the final version.
  • The author’s name should also be erased from the article's electronic file. When the file is selected, it can be done under the “Properties” tab.
