    References: Bibliographic citations should be referenced in the form of text references. Uncited bibliography should not be included in the text. Their number must be sufficient and necessary to contextualize the theoretical framework (an average of 30 references in total is recommended, not per author, taking care not to exceed a maximum of three references from the same author), the methodology used, and the research results in an international research space. They will be presented alphabetically by the first author's last name (adding the second only if the first is very common and joined with a hyphen).

    Citations should be extracted from the original documents – preferably journals and, to a lesser extent, books – always indicating the initial and final page of the work from which they originate, except for complete works.

    Given the importance for citation indexes and impact factor calculations, correct citation of national and international authors in indexed journals will be valued, following the Chicago Deusto Style Manual.
