Submissions

Author Guidelines

Materials must be ORIGINAL and UNPUBLISHED, not having been simultaneously submitted to other publications or pending evaluation for publication in any other medium.

Originals prepared in Word (Microsoft Office) are accepted, duly anonymized (in the content and in the properties of the document).

The file must be sent anonymously to ensure compliance with the double-blind approach. This covers both the content of the document (including references to other publications of your own) and the properties of the file: we ask you to verify that no data remains in its properties.

Images are sent with the highest possible resolution and in jpg format inserted in the text, with their corresponding identification (figure, number, title and source).

Tables or graphs are inserted in the text and are also attached to the submission. Format: Arial 10, in grayscale. The digital files of images, graphs and tables will be named after the number corresponding to that indicated in the text.

Authors must upload their ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) number in their metadata.

ORCID is an independent, non-profit organization that provides you with a persistent identifier – an ORCID iD – that allows you to distinguish yourself from other researchers, and a mechanism to link your research results and activities to your iD. ORCID integrates with many systems used by publishers, funders, institutions, and other research-related services. You can see more about ORCID at orcid.org.
