7) Footnotes should be intimately related to the content of the text and will be intended to provide additional information that will facilitate their understanding, and will not be used as a citation or referencing form. Bibliographic recommendations are valid here, noting their reference whenever relevant with what is being discussed in the text. Footnotes should not include textual or paraphrased quotations. Explanatory notes should always be placed at the bottom of the corresponding page and be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Our authors are also requested not to abuse the extension of the footnotes (75 words maximum for each of them) nor in their quantity.

C) Structure of the article:

1) It is recommended that the article has at least: introduction, development, conclusion and bibliography.
2) The section of bibliographical references should be ordered alphabetically according to the first surname of the author. The works of the same author will then be sorted in chronological order. All the bibliographies listed in this section must correspond carefully to the texts cited throughout the article.
3) Moderate use of secondary sources is recommended for authors, only in those cases where it is impossible for authors to access the primary source, either because the document is out of print or not available in the databases. Data or documentary sources within its reach, or is in a language that the author does not master. It is important to indicate that in the case that the authors use a secondary source, both the primary source and the primary source must be present in their bibliographic references section. In other words, if a reference is indicated in the text of the article as "Hobsbawm (2001, quoted in Rodriguez 2010)", it is necessary then that in the section of bibliographical references it contains the bibliography of Hobsbawm and the one of Rodriguez .
In the same way, authors are asked to use articles from journals to ensure that journals are indexed academic journals.
4) For citations and references use the Chicago-Deusto style in its author-date variant. You can also see some examples in our guía de estilo.

6) Up to 10 visual elements are allowed in total for each article, be they tables, tables, graphics or images.
