TEXT STRUCTURE

Language: The journal publishes material mainly in Spanish with the respective summaries in Spanish and English.

Length and presentation: The full article will not exceed thirty letter-size pages, double-spaced, without additional spaces between paragraphs and between titles, in Arial font and 10-point size; with right margins of 3 centimeters, and superior and inferior margins of 4 centimeters; the pages will be numbered successively, and the original must be accompanied by a good quality copy.

Titles and authors: It is recommended to think of titles that interest the reader and that are fully related to the topic, limiting themselves to 10 words or not exceeding fifteen. The content should be described specifically, clearly and concisely, avoiding overly general titles. 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 is necessary to provide the postal address of the main author to respond to the correspondence related to the article, or indicate another address where a commercial courier service can reach, or his electronic address.

Summary of keywords: Each article will be accompanied by the abstract in the language in which it is written, in addition to the abstract in Spanish, one in English, not exceeding 200 words; In the case of articles derived from research, the abstract must clearly indicate:

• Study objectives
• Place and date of realization
• Basic methodology
• Main results with statistical interpretation
• Main conclusions

Emphasize new and relevant aspects. For articles other than research, the abstract must contain information related to the objectives, the methodology on which it is based, a synthesis of the main thesis, the academic interpretation, the results (if any) and the conclusions. 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.
