Quotations
Quotations within the text should be within standard quotation marks (“ ”) and in normal
letters (not in italics). Use single quotation marks (‘ ’) to enclose quotes within
another quote. Periods and commas should be within double quotations marks and
outside single quotation marks. If a word or words are omitted from a quotation, the
deleted word or words should be indicated by using ellipsis marks, i.e. three periods,
within brackets ([...]).
Quotations that are longer than four lines should be in a free-standing block of text. It
should be single-spaced, without quotes, and in normal letters. The whole text should be
indented 12 to 15 spaces from the left margin. Bibliographic information should be
provided at the end of the quote, within parenthesis. Footnotes should only be used for
additional comments but not for bibliographic citations.
Bibliographic information provided within parenthesis should include the last name of
the author cited, the year of publication of the work cited, and the page numbers where
the quotation can be found. The parenthesis should immediately follow the quotation –
preceded by a space – and before the period. For example: “En las cavernas, se concede
el primer lugar a la caza, en razón del valor mágico de las pinturas, o también, acaso, de
la belleza de las figuraciones: eran tan eficaces como bellas” (Bataille 1997: 66).
If several studies by the same author published in the same year are listed in the
bibliography, small case letters in alphabetical order should be used to identify the texts.
For example: (Martínez 1997a: 66).
If the quotation is from the print media or from a publication of an organization which
does not provide the name of any authors, this should be reflected in both the
bibliographical reference and in the citation. In the case of periodical publications, the
title of the publication should be in italics. In the case of organizations, if the name of the
organization is very long, it is acceptable to use its acronym. Examples: (New York Times
2004), (WHO 2005), (NASA 2002).
When the quotation is from a book with two authors, both their names should appear in
the citation separated by “and”. If there are more than two authors, only the first should
be named followed by “et al.” In the bibliography, all authors of the work must be listed.
The use of font styles within the text
Bold letters should be used to emphasize terms within the text. Such emphasis is not
obligatory and depends on the author’s personal style. Words in foreign languages should
be
in
italics.
Headings
Headings and subheadings should always be in normal letters (and never in italics) and
without periods at the end. Only the first letter of each heading should be capitalized –
unless a proper name is included, in which case the first letter of the name should also be
capitalized.
Bibliography
The bibliography should be located at the end of the article and should include all
bibliographic and audiovisual sources consulted by the author(s), particularly all those
cited or mentioned in the article. The most common types of citations are provided below
and should be followed in every article submitted.
