7) Citations : It has been decided to use the APA style (7th edition) for both citations and bibliographic references .

    7.1) Indirect quotes

When ideas from other authors are paraphrased or described and the words are not used verbatim. The reference is placed at the end in parentheses and it is not necessary to include the page number.

Ex.: There are many ways of using the word power that lead to misunderstanding (Foucault, 2006, p. 112)

    7.2) Direct quotes

Literally reproduces the ideas of other authors. You use “p.” when the reference is on a single page, and “pp.” when the reference corresponds to more than one page. They can be less than 40 words or more than 40 words.

    7.2.1) Direct quotes of less than 40 words

Direct quotes of less than 40 words are enclosed in quotation marks.

There are two ways to do them depending on whether the emphasis is on an author or a text:

           a) Last name +( year)+“quote”+( p.XX ): enter the name of the author, the year in parentheses, then put the quote in quotes and at the end the page in parentheses.

For example: As Marx (1984) establishes: “The consumer is not freer than the producer (…)” (p. 61).

          b) “Citation” + ( Last name, year, p. XX): first, enter the text in quotation marks, then the author, year and page in parentheses

For example: It is important to highlight that “The entity whose analysis is our problem is in each case ourselves” (Heidegger, 2016, p.53).

      7.2.3) Direct quotes that exceed 40 words

Quotes that exceed 40 words must be in a separate paragraph, without quotation marks, with a left indentation of 1.27 cm in a block (if there are new paragraphs, an indentation of 1.27 cm is added), without italics, with the same Font type and size, with double spacing. The final period comes before the parenthesis of the reference. Example:

The secret of philosophy, since it has been lost since its origins, remains to be discovered in the future.

It was therefore fatal that philosophy in history only developed by degenerating and turning against itself, allowing itself to be trapped in its mask. (Deleuze, 2000, p. 25)

 8) Bibliographic references

The APA style (7th edition) is chosen as a reference. The bibliography must go at the end of the article, each title will be numbered and with a hanging indentation of half an inch (1.27 cm). All authors cited in the body of a text or work must match the reference list; The list of references is organized in alphabetical and chronological order. An author who has not been cited in the text should never be referenced and vice versa.
