For the preparation of manuscripts, the journal has adapted to the requirements of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), in its most recent update, available at http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/translations/spanish2016.pdf (reviewed August 9, 2020).
Manuscripts must be sent in Word format , on A4 size paper, with margins of at least 2.5 cm. The pages will be numbered consecutively. Each manuscript must be submitted along with:
Letter of Authorship: It can be accessed on the DIAETA website. It will be sent in a separate document. This will be a declaration by all authors, agreeing to the publication of the manuscript in DIAETA, knowing and accepting the current regulations of the journal. Likewise, it will be stated that all authors have had an active participation in the submitted manuscript, the manuscript has not been published in any other scientific journal nor has it been sent for consideration to another journal at the same time. Just as it does not present duplicate paragraphs. Also, it must be declared that they have requested authorization from the highest authority of the participating organizations or institutions, giving permission to publish the contents of the article sent to DIAETA.
When the model letter suggested by DIAETA is not signed, the authors are requested to include the following text in the letter:
“In the event that the aforementioned manuscript is accepted for publication, we transfer the publication rights to the DIAETA journal, who assumes the rights to edit, publish, reproduce, distribute paper, electronic or multimedia copies and include the article in indexes or national and international databases. We know that articles published in DIAETA cannot be subsequently published in another journal, and in such case, the bibliographic reference corresponding to the original publication will be recorded at the bottom of the reproduction. Responsibility for the content and statements that appear in the manuscript belong exclusively to the undersigned authors." In addition, declare that the requirements of the previous paragraph are met.
The letter must be signed by all the authors, clarifying the signature and number. of document.
Letter addressed to the Director of the Journal: It requests consideration of the manuscript for publication, clarifying in which category of article it is presented and who will be the author with whom the correspondence is maintained.
All manuscripts to be presented at DIAETA have the following information in common:
Title and Authors Page: The first page will contain the title of the article in Spanish and English; the last name and full names of the authors , their highest academic degree , their ORCID persistent digital identifier number (you can obtain it by entering https://orcid.org/ ), institution(s) participating in the research study or article presented; and about the author responsible for receiving the communications : email address, telephone number (optional) and social network (optional). Author names should only appear on this first page. If published, the order of the authors presented will be respected. Make sure that all this information is always present in all the manuscripts you send throughout the process. The Declaration of ethical aspects and conflict of interest
must be made . “[…] Economic aspects (such as employment, consultations, ownership of shares or options, fees, patents and remuneration of experts) are the most easily identified conflicts and the most likely to undermine the credibility of a journal, of the authors and science. However, there may be other reasons, such as personal relationships or rivalries, academic competitiveness, and intellectual beliefs. Whether they are for-profit or not, […]. When authors submit a manuscript of any type they must declare any financial or personal relationship that could bias or suggest that it could bias their work.” (ICMJE 2016). The authors must declare conflicts of interest for the period involved in the study process from its planning, execution and writing of the manuscript. It must always be declared that authors who carry out their professional activity in a private or for-profit Institution, Organization or Industry participate; when the authors receive subsidies, subsidies or sponsorship from private companies even if they were not for activities referred to in the manuscript; and when private or for-profit companies are direct participants in the research study or are sponsors, providing total or partial financing, or some collaboration to carry out the tasks described in the manuscript or in scientific dissemination or scientific transfer/ technological or secondary to an activity carried out by one of the authors. Funding Source
: When applicable, clearly declare the sponsors or financiers, public or private, indicating the name of the granting entity(ies). And the function of the money received: in the design of the study, data collection, analysis and interpretation of the results, writing the report, decision to submit the report for publication. If you have not received funding, declare that you did not have it or that it was the responsibility of the authors.
Summary: in Spanish and English . It will not exceed 300 words and must include the main findings presented in the manuscript, as well as its conclusions. We recommend ordering the summaries: Introduction, Objectives, Materials and Method, Results and Conclusions. Because abstracts are the only substantive part of the article indexed in electronic databases, and the only portion that many readers read, authors must ensure that they accurately reflect the content of the article. Key words must appear at the bottom of each summary : 4 or 5 words that describe the topic of the article, also in English.
Acknowledgments: all collaborators who do not meet the authorship criteria must appear in this section. It is the responsibility of the authors to obtain the permissions of the people mentioned in the acknowledgments, since readers can infer approval of the data and conclusions presented by the grateful people. It will be located at the end of the manuscript, before the bibliographic references.
Bibliographic References: The recommended style for references is based on the National Information Standards Organization, which are illustrated with the examples below. More information about how to cite other types of publications can be found at: http://www.icmje.org. A numerical sequence system is used. They are numbered consecutively in the order of appearance in the text. The citation is identified with Arabic numerals between (1) or [1]. It is suggested not to use superscript1. Bibliographic references are arranged according to the order of their appearance in the text, at the end of the manuscript. If you cite the same bibliography, in different parts of the manuscript, use the number of the first mention. When there is more than one quote for the same paragraph, they must be separated by commas, but if they are correlative, the first and last are mentioned, separated by a hyphen. When an author is mentioned in the text, the reference number is placed after the author's name. If it is an article written by more than two authors, the first of them is cited (Last name, initials of the names) followed by the abbreviation “ et al.” when it is in Spanish or “ et al. ” when it is in another language and its reference number. References to tables, graphs and illustrations must follow the numerical order according to the text. The words “volume” and “number” (or their abbreviations) are usually omitted when citing journal articles, but are included in book references. Magazine titles can be abbreviated, while book titles CANNOT. Cite the version you used. For example, do not cite the printed version if you have used the electronic version. Do not include a heading, such as "original article", "case report", as part of the article title, unless it is part of the title. It is suggested not to use different fonts or highlight in bold or italics, or use quotation marks, in parts of a bibliographic reference. Up to 6 authors, are written in full. If there are more than 6 authors, indicate the first 3 and after their names, add “ et al. ” for articles in Spanish and “ et al. ” for articles in English.

Scientific or technical report:
Doctoral Thesis:
Direct textual quote: The one that is transcribed verbatim.
Example: “The short textual quote, of less than five lines, is inserted within the text between quotation marks, and the corresponding number is placed at the end, after the quotation marks and before the punctuation mark” (3).
“The textual quote of more than 5 lines is inserted in a new paragraph, leaving a greater indentation than the rest of the text. The corresponding number is located at the end of the text” (4).
Indirect textual quote: Mention of an author's ideas with the words of the person he writes. It is written within the text without quotes, the reference number is written after the author's last name and before citing his idea.
Example: As Londoño C. (5) says, infant mortality leads to worsening the quality of life in Medellín.
Tables, figures and illustrations are self-explanatory units, that is, they must be understood by their own reading, without the need for the body of the manuscript. Tables are series of verbal or numerical data distributed in columns and rows. In the figures, the image predominates over the text (bar graphs, pie graphs, trend graphs, flowcharts or flow diagrams, decision trees). Illustrations are any material that cannot be written (photographs, line drawings, sketches or maps). They must be numbered and their number must be mentioned in the text when referring to the information they provide. The title must be complete, anticipating the information shown. At the bottom, general notes, clarification of acronyms and abbreviations, called explanatory notes, will be incorporated with a font size smaller than the text. They may be presented in color or black and white (although DIAETA reserves the right to modify the colors to maintain the design line of the magazine). Tables or figures can be sent as Excel images, in Word format, and illustrations in jpg format. They should be presented at the end of the manuscript on sheets separate from the text.
In the case of reworking a table, graph or illustration that was previously published, whatever the format, or reworking them based on data from different sources, the legend "Modified based on […]" or "Modified from [ …]" and then the names of the authors or institutions following the same citation system as in the body of the text, including the complete publication data in the bibliographic references.
If a table, graph or illustration is reproduced as it was published in other text, the original source must be mentioned and you must have permission from the copyright owner to reproduce the material. Permission is requiredexcept in the case of public domain documents. Along with the submission of the manuscript, permission to reproduce the included table, graph or illustration must be attached. It is the responsibility of the authors of the manuscript to request this permission .
Categories of articles that can be submitted:
Original articles
Original articles are understood to be manuscripts that respect the steps of the scientific method. The original articles must be unpublished, that is, they must not have been published in another format. If your results were partially communicated, in scientific societies in the form of summaries, it must be mentioned in the Letter to the Director of the Journal.
In addition to the common content written above, it will have the following sections: Introduction, objective/s, materials and method, results, discussion and conclusion, and bibliographic references. They will have a minimum length of 6 and a maximum of 17 pages, including graphics, illustrations, tables. When an abbreviation appears for the first time it will be preceded by its full name.
Introduction : include a brief review of the problem to be treated, its background, the justification that motivated the conduct of the research study, the methodology applied and the analysis of the results. The problem statement must reflect the content of the research. This part does not include data or conclusions of the study to be presented.
Objectives : they can be written at the end of the introduction or as a separate section. They must be consistent with the results, clear, precise and feasible.
Materials and method : This section should be detailed enough so that others with access to the data can reproduce the results. Describe the study design, type of sampling, inclusion, exclusion and elimination criteria. Explain the techniques, equipment, and materials used in sufficient detail so that others can reproduce the results. The analyzed variables and their values, if necessary with bibliographic references. Whether an organization was paid or contracted to help carry out the research (examples include data collection and analysis). Mathematical terms, formulas, abbreviations, units and measurements will be consistent with those used in reference publications. All units of measurement will be expressed in the metric system. How the data analysis was carried out will be described so that the reader can judge its relevance and the conclusions drawn. Identify the software and version that was used. The evaluation by a Research Ethics Committee and the signing of informed consent by the participants will be made explicit or whether it is exempt from the need for review by said Committee. If a formal ethics committee is not available, a statement indicating that the research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki should be included.
Results: Present the results following a logical sequence using text, tables and figures. They must maintain coherence with the stated objectives. Avoid repeating data from tables, graphs or illustrations in the text, nor duplicating information between tables and graphs. Only the important observations found therein should be highlighted or summarized. Additional materials and technical details may be placed in an appendix at the end of the manuscript so as not to interrupt the flow of the text.
Discussion and conclusions : It is useful to begin the discussion by briefly summarizing the main findings and exploring possible mechanisms or explanations for these findings. It is suggested to emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and put them in context with all the relevant evidence, that is, mention the agreement or disagreement of the results with other published articles. Do not repeat in detail the data or other information given in other parts of the manuscript, such as in the Introduction or Results. Indicate the limitations of the study and the implications for future research and for nutritional practice or policy. Link conclusions to the objectives of the study, but avoid discredited statements and conclusions that are not adequately supported by the data presented.
