1. Original papers should be given in, indicating the name of the author, the title of the paper, the program used (which may be any of the usual programs in PC or Macintosh). Also, two paper copies in DIN A4 format, on one side only, double spacing and a left-hand margin never below 3 cm.

4. An indicative summary with an extension of not over 60 words is to be attached to the paper. Also included will be the Key Words (not more than eight) in the same languages. Key words will be written in order of importance.

5. For a correct disposition of the text, we suggest it is divided into clearly differentiated sections, using only Arabic figures and in levels numbered consecutively (1/1.1./1.2./1.3.../ 2/2.1./2.2...). These should not be mixed with Roman figures or letters.

All graphic material is to be given in numbered correlatively in a single series an preceded by the word “Figure” (or its abbreviation), with the corresponding footnote indicating its position in the text.

7. Quotations will be placed between quotation marks or in italics and integrated into the text only if they are not over two lines. For more extensive quotations, a smaller font size will be used, in a different and indented paragraph.

8. Notes will be numbered correlatively and placed on the same page if they are explanatory notes and at the end of the work, in alphabetical order, if they are bibliographic notes. Abbreviated note norms will be respected (Bibliographical References ISO 690, UNE 50-104). That is: surnames (in capital letters), name of the author.
