Information For Authors
Basic concepts.-
The editorial policy of the journal, requires that the evaluation of the articles must be done by the system of “double blind pairs”, where at least two anonymous coaches will prepare reports of each article sent to the journal; the maximum period of review will be three months.
The journal has four sections: i) Research Articles; ii) Opinion, as well as national and regional situation articles; iii) Articles of undergraduate and graduate students; and, iv) Reviews of other publications (special format).
The articles of the first three sections must have a minimum extent of 4.000 words (approximately 12 pages if you select space and a half) and it must not exceed 7.000 words (approximately 21 pages if you select space and a half) including notes and bibliography. The maximum of graphics must be of five pages included in the text.
Each article must include: title, as well as an abstract in Spanish and its translation in English (Abstract). Eventually, it must include a maximum of 5 keywords of the document in Spanish and its translation in English (Keywords).

Moreover, the author must indicate in the letter the count of words (including the notes and bibliography) of the article.
The article must be sent in an electronic form in Microsoft WORD (.doc,.docx). The graphics (images, tables, photography, graphics, etc.) must be sent separated in its original format. The articles must not include any type of information about the author or authors. Furthermore, the author must omit (at least during the evaluation stage) any section of the text (like citations) that could identify the author or authors.
