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 submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Articles

Article submission: from your personal user page as an author or from the link provided above, choose to submit a new article.

-Choose the main language in which the article is written from the dropdown list

-Agree with the submission preparation checklist

-Attach your paper

-Fill in the article metadata first in the language that the article has been written, including author information for all authors (as described above). The following metadata fields are obligatory

o Title

o Abstract (obligatory in English)

o Keywords (obligatory in both languages. Separate keywords with semi-colons (;))

o Language (insert en for English)

o References (copy and paste the bibliography of your article in this field. It should be in APA style.(https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/reference-examples.pdf, https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/reference-guide.pdf)

We recommend that you fill as many fields as possible in the “indexing” section beyond the obligatory ones above. Indexing helps network your article and make it more visible in the web.
