It must be written in the third person. 

The full article will be evaluated according to its pertinence and originality, the goal’s clarity and rigor, methodology and bibliographical sources.

Manuscript preparation 

1. The author’s name must not appear on the manuscript.

3. All files must be labeled with a keyword from the article’s title.
4. Word files must be formatted for printing in standard size paper (A4) numbered consecutively. The full text must be double-spaced and use Times New Roman font (12) left-justified.
5. Endnotes are not allowed. Footnotes and captions must be single-spaced and use Times New Roman (10) left-justified. Footnotes must be consecutively numbered and use automatic numbering.
6. Names: after the first mention, use only the last name of a person, unless clarity requires an additional name.
7. Quotations from foreign languages within the text must be translated into English, with the original in the footnote if necessary.
8. Quotations below 40 words must appear in the body of the text between quotation marks. Longer quotations must be set in a new indented paragraph between quotation marks.

Style Guidelines

The journal adopts The Chicago Manual of Style, although British spelling is preferred. 

Formatting

Indent quotations longer than 40 words as a block.

Indent the first line of each paragraph, except when the paragraph follows a heading or a block quotation.

Punctuation

The journal adopts American punctuation (see The Chicago Manual of Style). Please, keep these points in mind:

1. Punctuation marks are placed inside of the quotation marks.

2. Indicate the footnote reference number outside of all punctuation marks.

3. Use double quotation marks and single quotation marks within a quote.

4. Interpolations should be enclosed in square brackets [ ].

5. Omissions are indicated by 3-point ellipses within square brackets [...].

Footnotes 

Footnotes must be always indicated at the end of the sentence (never in the middle of a sentence) and formatted according to the short for citation system of The Chicago Manual of Style. 

If there is more than one reference in a sentence, include them in a single note, separating them with a semicolon.

The first mention of a source must provide full bibliographic information. Subsequent notes must use a shortened version.
