Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The text has spacing 1.5; 12 point font size; italics are used instead of underlining (except in URLs); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed in the appropriate places in the text, rather than at the end.
  • Authors must cite in Chicago style.

Author Guidelines

The authors of the sections and the collaborators will deliver the version of the text file (preferably unpublished, otherwise, you must indicate when and where it was previously published) in Word electronic format, letter size (21.5 x 28 cm), with upper margins and bottom of 2.5 cm, and left and right of 3 cm, Times New Roman font at 12 points, spacing of 1.5 and the extension must correspond to the section in which it is intended to be included.

Articles must present a full title in Spanish and the following information: Author / Institution / Entity or dependency / University, Faculty or College, Department / City, state, country / Institutional or professional mail / ORCID. (If you still do not have an ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) record, you can process it by submitting your collaboration through Open Journal Systems, in the link that appears after the email box).

All articles and collaborations will be reviewed by the responsible editors who will determine their publication in the Bulletin.

If the article or collaboration contains images (photographs, illustrations, charts, graphs, etc.), they will be delivered in a separate folder, duly identified with the figure number corresponding to their insertion within the text, which will be indicated as follows: /Table X/ or /Image X/ (with consecutive numbering). In addition, a separate file will be included that lists the corresponding image captions, with a brief explanation of what is illustrated (in three lines, maximum). All images must be scanned at 300 DPI, at the original size (without modifications), considering that their minimum size is 5 x 5 cm (2” x 2” inches). The tables are made without color, in editable Word files. In the graphics, use a maximum of 3 tones, so that the gray scales can be distinguished. Please do not use images downloaded from the Internet or digitized from other books; refer to the original sources to digitize.

The author will deliver a list indicating the proper citation and the institutions or persons that hold the publication rights of each image (corresponding credits, photographer, institution, archive, etc.). If you do not have the permissions granted to publish said images, you must sign and attach a responsive letter in which you exempt the Institute for Bibliographic Research (IIB) from any problems arising from their use.

 

editorial criteria

Paragraphs must begin with the first line indented 1.25 cm (except the initials and after a subheading) and with no lines of space between each one.

The italics or italics should be used in foreign terms (except when they are within quoted phrases); avoid using them for emphasis. The bolds will be used only to distinguish hierarchies of titles and subtitles. If you want to highlight a word, underline it with a single line and the same font color.

The acronyms and the centuries will be entered in tall or capital letters (UNESCO, FCE, UAM-X; XVII, XIX), avoiding the use of small capitals in all cases; the acronyms, in high and low (Conacyt, Pemex, Conaculta). Technical or scientific terms, initials and acronyms must be explained at the first mention. It is recommended to avoid the use of abbreviations.

Textual citations will be enclosed in quotation marks; if they exceed 5 lines or 600 characters, they must go in a separate paragraph, on the side (with 1.25 cm indentation throughout the paragraph), separated from the general text and without quotation marks.

The IIB adopted the documentation system recommended for the humanities area, Chicago (The Chicago Manual of Style), in its approved version in Spanish: Manual de estilo Chicago Deusto.

See examples at http://www.deusto-publicaciones.es/deusto/pdfs/otraspub/otraspub07.pdf.

If your paper contains in-text references, they should be placed in footnotes; avoid referencing between parentheses. Additionally, a section will be included containing the bibliographical references of his work, listed and ordered alphabetically by the author's last name and with French indentation (1.25 cm). The author must ensure that the citations included in the text match the data provided in the bibliography. All references must follow the Chicago "Notes and Bibliography" citation system.
