Instructions for the adoption of key words or descriptors 

The key words have to be five to seven, separated by a semicolon (;) and in alphabetical order. We recommend that the authors are supported by the 'Thesaurus' of Unesco. 

The form of presentation of the affiliations 

Each author has to indicate the institution, city, state, country and email. 

Bibliographic references will be in accordance with the Chicago Deusto style Manual (Spanish version of the Chicago citation style), a format established at FLACSO Ecuador:

Quote basic structure in text body.

In author-year system, reference in text normally appears between parentheses and contains only the first two elements that are recorded in references list: author and publication year, without punctuation between them. In addition, you can add number page or other localization element, after a comma. In no case use op. cit., ibid., ibídem.

Example:

(Cox 2010)

(Cox 2010, 91)

Entries from list of references with same author or authors and same year.

Papers from same responsible (regardless who is author, editor, compilator or translator) and same year should be differentiated with the addition of a, b, c, etc., those that are ordered alphabetically by title. Quotes in text consign to author and year with the letter.

Example:

Chaume Varela, Frederic. 2004a. Cine y traducción. Cátedra: Madrid

___ 2004b. “Modelos de Investigación en traducción audiovisual”.  Íkala, Revista de lenguaje y Cultura 9 (15): 351-365.

(Chaume Varela 2004b, 356)    

(Chaume Varela 2004a, 45- 46)

Chronologic order to repeated names in a references list.

When the author(s), translator(s), editor(s), or compiler(s) are repeated in several entries in a row, the name (names) is replaced by a line after the first occurrence. The punctuation mark that usually follows the skipped element (here, the point) is not written after the line. Entries are arranged chronologically by year of publication in ascending order, not literate by title. No dated articles (marked as n. d. or s. f.) or in press go after the articles dated.

Example:

Segura Munguía, Santiago. 2005. Los jardines en la Antigüedad. Bilbao: Universidad de Deusto.

___ 2007. Diccionario por raíces del latín y de las voces derivadas. Bilbao: Universidad de Deusto.
