Immediately below the title, the name and surname of each author, the institution where each one works, the academic titles and positions held will be noted; It is worth clarifying that when said article is selected for publication, these requested data will appear related at the end of the journal with the title of "Collaborators".

It will not include any information or conclusion that does not appear in the text. It should not include abbreviations, main text references or bibliographic references. The abstract should allow readers to know the content of the article and decide if they are interested in reading the full text. In fact, it is the only part of the article that is included, in addition to the title, in the bibliographic information dissemination systems. Three to five keywords are described after the abstract for indexing purposes.
Body of the article: Papers that present research or studies are generally divided into the following sections, corresponding to the IMRYD format: introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion. The works of updating, reflection and bibliographic revision usually require other titles and subtitles according to the content.
Footnotes: These should be in accordance with the same standardized norm with which bibliographic references work, since they are made to identify the setting (institution and department) and address of the authors, some unpublished sources of information and give marginal explanations that interrupt the natural flow of the text. Its use should be limited.
