Sending files

All works must be submitted in word format and allow editing. They will be initiated by the title (in Spanish and English) and will continue with the summary (in Spanish and English), the key words (in Spanish and in English) and the body of the article (including notes and bibliography). In no case should the name of the authors and the data of institutional affiliation be included in the work. All these references will have to be placed at the beginning of the shipment in the spaces designated for that purpose (metadata).

Along with the work, the author will attach a document containing a checklist and a declaration of originality, conflicts of interest and assignment of rights. Works that do not comply with the regulations specified here and disaggregated in the document (Check sheet for authors) will be rejected.


To ensure blind review, authors who cite works of authorship must remove their names both in the body of the text, using the formula author-year in parentheses (Author, year), as well as in the bibliographical references and in the notes. In addition, they will attach the complete work, with all the corresponding references, in step 4 "Upload complementary files", so that the correction team uses this document in the editing process to replace the missing references.
