Submissions

Author Guidelines

I. What should an Author submit? 

1. Afile with the article submitted for evaluation. 
2. A  different  file with personal data (name, address, email address and title of the article that is being presented) and the comments to the editor that are deemedconvenient (no more than 300 words). 

In order to ensure double-blind peer-review, authors should submit their papers without their personal data (name, email address, academic affiliation, postal address, etc.). This information must be attached to another file. 

In particular the following rules must be observed: 

1. Any direct or indirect reference to the identity of the author of the paper must be eliminated 

2. Articles should not contain notes of thanks. 

3. In the file’s properties the author’s name must be deleted. 

4. All these references and notes should be reintroduced in the final version once the process of peer review is finished. 

Authors may suggest reviewers, indicating the name, affiliation and email. This proposal should be made in the personal data file along with comments to the editor. 

II. Article’s characteristics 

Articles must be written in English or Spanish.  

The Editorial Board recommends that articles do not exceed 9000 words including bibliography, annexes and any other part of the work. 

Articles must include the following information: 

• Title  
• Abstract in English and Spanish (approximately 200 words) 
• Key words in English and Spanish (4 to 6) 
• Paper text 
• Bibliography 

III. How to Cite 

Citations will be always indicated in footnotes and not in parentheses. 

Footnotes follow the system "author-date", ie, the author's name initial followed by surname and year of publication and, if applicable, the cited page separated by a comma. Capitals should only be used for the first letter of the word where appropriate. 

Examples: 

E. J. Robinson 2011, 120-35 

G. GarcíaMárquez 2000, 50-65 

In the case of two or more works by the same author that were published the same year, the distinction between of each one should be made through a distinctive character incorporated both in the quote and the bibliography. 

Examples:  

V. Kassos, 2006a, 30-2 

V. Kassos, 2006b 

In the bibliography: 

Kassos, V. (2006a). Ta italikastenKalymno, Kalymnos: EkdosisPrisma  

Kassos, V. (2006b). “Ta italikastenRodo”. Rodiaka, 5: 50-68  

IV. Bibliographical references 

At the end of the papera list of bibliographical references shall be included. The cited sources should be included first, followed by a second section with the rest of the bibliography (only with the cited bibliography). 

1. Cited Edition  

In the sources section the quoted edition should be indicated . The editor recommends using the latest critical apparatus. 

In the rest of the bibliography any edition of a text may be cited, but (if it is not the cited edition) the year of the first edition in the original languagemust always be indicated. 

Example:  

GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ, G. (1994).El amor en los tiemposdelcólera. Madrid: Mondadori (1ra Ed. 1985)
