• Authors should use the template available from the website.
• The complete text should be delivered in a single Microsoft Word file, using the standard DIN-A4 page size, the margins applied in Word by default (2.5 cm top and bottom, 3 cm left and right), single line spacing and 0 pt paragraph spacing. Texts may be no longer than 300 pages, except for general interest works, in which case they may not exceed 200 pages. Scientific texts that include formulae or that need special formatting that cannot be performed in Word can be delivered in the usual format for the discipline. The same file must also be provided in PDF format.
• No headers or footers, beside page numbering, should be used.
• The Times New Roman font, size 12 pt, must be used for the main body of the text.
• Size 10 pt should be used for any footnotes. If the superscript character coincides with any punctuation mark, it must always go before said punctuation mark.
• Any quotes that may be included –if shorter than three lines– should be incorporated into the text between inverted commas. If longer than three lines, a space should be inserted before and after to separate it from the text, a left-hand indent should be used and a font in 11 pt, with no inverted commas at the beginning or end.
• Any image, illustration, photograph or map must be referred to as a Figure.

Any kind of graph or diagram, organisational chart or the suchlike must be referred to as a Graphic.

Any kind of table must be referred to as a Table.

• Figures, graphics and tables should be inserted into the text with their corresponding caption, which must include a reference to its authorship or source. Figures should be delivered in separate files, numbered correlatively in the same order in which they appear in the manuscript, in JPG or TIFF format and with a minimum resolution of 300 ppi. The texts for the caption and header of each figure, graphic or table should be delivered in a separate file and use a 10 pt size font.
• Figures can only include a caption. Graphics and tables should have a header (title) and, if necessary, a caption as well. Graphic and table headers must be written in Times New Roman, size 10 pt, centred, with no full stop and numbered using Arabic numerals. For graphics and tables, captions are used to indicate the source, add a note or interpret the data being shown.

• Tabs should not be used at the start of a paragraph and nor should words be manually divided at the end of a line.
• Chapter, section and subsection titles should be written in lower case (except for the first letters, which should be in upper case). The same applies to figure captions and graphic or table information. No full stops should be used.
• Chapter sections and subsections should be ordered correlatively, always using Arabic numerals and the following model: 1., 1.1., 1.1.1., without exceeding the third level. Part or section titles should be in upper case, numbered using Roman numerals and occupy a whole page (part title page). Chapters should not be numbered, and the sections and subsections of each chapter should be numbered using Arabic numerals. The Bibliographic references section should not be numbered and the word should be in lower case (this name should always be used, not Bibliography).

 

Example

1. POETRY (part or section; occupying a whole page (part title page))

Geography is love. Józef Łobodowski: a lesson in Europeanism (chapter)

1. Geography and culture: Greco-Latin inheritance, Christianity and Europe (first level section)

1.1. Greco-Latin inheritance (second level section)

1.1.1. Greece and Christianity (third level section)

Bibliographic references

 

• The use of bold, upper case and underlining should be avoided for text highlighting. Use italics.
• For collective volumes, the editor or coordinator must complete the corresponding work to unify the formal and presentation aspects of the various contributions before delivery.
• If the text contains references to tables, figures or graphics, this should be indicated in brackets as follows: (Table 1), (Graphic 1), (Figure 1).
• If the text contains references to parts or sections of the book, this should be indicated in inverted commas.
• Simple punctuation marks (comma, full stop, semi-colon, colon and ellipsis) should not adopt the form (italic, bold,...) of the word they accompany. Double punctuation marks (inverted commas, question marks, exclamation marks, round brackets, square brackets) should adopt the form of the word when the latter affects both marks, otherwise not. At any event, the closing punctuation mark must have the same font style as that used for the opening punctuation mark.

        

Examples

Have you read El maestro de esgrima?

I could not find ¿Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf? in the listings.

 

• If an onomastic index is included, the author should indicate which voices comprise the same in the text.

1. Recommendations:

• The index should be headed with the title of Onomastic index (using the same level as that for the Bibliographic references in non-collective works).
• Entries should consist of surname(s) and name separated by a comma (,).
• Names consisting of one word are recommended when the person is known as such (Socrates).
• The entry of toponymic names is recommended using the given name first (Leonardo da Vinci).
• Kings, emperors and princes: the entry of such names is recommended with the name used for them followed by the numeral, title and State name (Isabel II, Queen of Spain).
• Popes and ecclesiastic dignitaries: the entry of popes is recommended with their adopted name followed by the corresponding ordinal and title (John Paul I, Pope); the entry of ecclesiastic dignitaries is recommended with the given name followed by the name of the ecclesiastic dignity (Dositheos, Patriarch of Jerusalem) or using the standard method (Rouco Varela, Antonio María, Archbishop of Madrid); the adjectives “brother”, “friar”, “sister”, etc. are put at the end.
• Names of saints and the beatified: their entry is recommended with the beatification and canonisation name; the adjectives “saint” and “beatified” are put at the end (Anthony Mary Claret, Saint).
• Names of nobles: surname(s) and name, indicating their title (Saavedra, Ángel de, Duke of Rivas).

2. Alphabetisation:

• Particles are not considered when alphabetising names (articles, prepositions and conjunctions).
• When alphabetising names with connective particles, the usual criteria for each language should be adopted:
• Spanish names: the prepositions preceding surnames are put afterwards, whether alone, accompanied by an article or they are a contraction of a preposition or article (Unamuno, Miguel de; Ors, Eugenio d’).
• German names: the particle von is put afterwards, while the particles Am, Zum, Zur are put before.
• French names: articles and contractions of prepositions and articles are put before (L’, La, Le, Les, Des, Du), while prepositions indicating nobility or origin are put afterwards (de).
• Dutch and Flemish names: all particles are put afterwards (de, van, van den, van der, den, ter), except the particle Ver.
• English names: all particles (De) and prefixes (Mac, Mc, O’, Fitz) are put before.
• Italian names: all particles are put before (D’, Da, De, Del, Della, Degli, Di, Li, Lo).
• Portuguese names: all particles are put before and they are generally alphabetised by the part of the surname that follows the particle. They are alphabetised by the first surname only when the second indicates kinship (Filho, Neto, Junior).
