Form and preparation of manuscripts
Contributions should comply with the following indications:

1. The works will have a total length of between 4000 and 8000 words, and will necessarily include the following items: title (in Spanish, English and Portuguese), author(s) name(s), brief background and institutional affiliation and ORCID; abstract (in Spanish, English and Portuguese, no more than 150 words each one); three to five keywords (also in the three languages); the text of the article and the bibliography cited. Within this extension, reference notes, tables, illustrations, images and acknowledgments may also be included, if considered necessary.
2. The first page will contain the title of the article, author(s) name(s), brief background and institutional affiliation. The second page will contain the title of the article, the abstracts in Spanish, English and Portuguese and a maximum of five keywords in these three languages. From this page to the end, the name of the author(s) and any type of header should not appear, only the page number at the bottom right.
3. THE TEXT: paragraph format should be Arial type, font size 10, line spacing 1.5, justified, without word breaks. All primary subtitles should be typed without tabs, in capital letters, without underlining and in bold, on the left margin, two spaces from the text that precedes them and one from the one that follows it. Secondary subtitles should be typed without tabs in lowercase letters and in bold on the left margin, two spaces from the text that precedes them and one from the one that follows it. If it is necessary to number the titles and subtitles, Latin numerals will be used (1, 1.1., etc.). The paragraphs will begin without tabs or indentation, and a free line spacing will be left between them. Everything that the author wishes to highlight, that is, words or expressions in another language not incorporated into the habitual use of the Spanish language (including the scientific names of animals and plants), will be written in italics.
4. ILLUSTRATIONS: charts, tables, diagrams and graphs (with their respective numbering, scales, titles or epigraph) should be submitted in separate files, in Word or Excel programs, in Arial font, size 9, without exceeding a width of 15cm box. Images of photographs or maps should also be submitted in separate files in JPG format. These have to be preferably in black and white or gray scale, with a definition of 300 dpi or pixels per inch. Its dimension should not be less than 4 cm nor greater than 15 cm on each side. The legibility of the information should be taken into account within these sizes. In the text of the work, the location of each of the illustrations should be indicated by means of a reference that says figure 1, 2, 3, etc., located in the place where the corresponding illustration should be inserted, leaving a free line spacing before and after. In the case of image files (JPG), the epigraph will be placed in the text below the corresponding reference. In all cases, the source from which the material was obtained must be mentioned.
5. NOTES: Should be numbered consecutively, in Latin numerals, and placed at the end of the text (footnotes will not be accepted). The notes do not have to allow reference to who is/are the author(s) of the article and should not exceed 70 words.
6. LIST OF REFERENCES AND CITATION: the works will conform to the APA standards, whose main considerations we provide in this summary, adapted from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 2010 (translated by Miroslava Guerra Frias). Editorial The Modern Manual, Mexico, 278 pp. Third edition translated from the sixth in English and from Sánchez, C. (January 24, 2020). APA references. APA Standards (7th edition). https://normas-apa.org/referencias/
Quotation sources
Paraphrasing, with direct quotations from an author (narrative citation) or describing an idea, theory or research (parenthetical citation) of someone else, the source must always be acknowledged, in order to avoid plagiarism and even self-plagiarism.
Material quoted directly from another author's work or from own previously published work and duplicate material from a test article must be reproduced verbatim. Always indicate the author, year and the specific page of the quote. In the case of unnumbered material, write down the number of the paragraph.
- Short quotes, fewer than 40 words, can be included in the paragraph in quotation marks. (immediately note the source in parentheses).
- Quotes of more than 40 words need to be in a separate indented paragraph or block quote
with a left margin of 2.54 cm. without quotation marks. At the end of the citation block, cite the source and the page or paragraph number in parentheses after the final punctuation mark.

Direct citations of online material must be credited by indicating the author, year, and page number in parentheses. If the publication does not have a page number, specify the paragraph number.
Direct quotes must be precise and follow the words, orthography, and punctuation of the original source, even if there are inaccuracies. In this case, Latin marker sic is inserted in square brackets, in italics, to indicate that this is how it appears in the original.

Changes in the original source
The first letter of the first quoted word can be changed to capital letters or lowercase. The punctuation mark that ends the sentence can be modified to suit the syntax. Single quotes can be changed to double quotes and vice versa. Any other modifications (such as italicizing words for emphasis or omitting words) must be explicitly stated.

If you want to omit material included in the original source, use an ellipsis (...) in a sentence to indicate this. Do not use an ellipsis at the beginning or end of any citation. Use square brackets to enclose additional material or explanations inserted into a citation by a person other than its original author. If you want to emphasize a word or words in a quote, write them in italics. Immediately after the italicized words, insert added italics between brackets ([added italics]).

Citation of references

References in APA publications are cited in the text using an author-date citation system and are listed alphabetically in the reference list. Each reference cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and each reference list entry must be cited in the text.
