Authors. When the case requires it, in order to accredit the roles of the different agents in the process and execution of a research project, the CRediT taxonomy (Taxonomy of Roles in Academic Collaboration), available at: http://hdlab.space/taxonomia/?q=CRediT, should be considered.

2.b Particular Considerations for Critical Reviews

The Reviews, after the title, must indicate the complete data of the reviewed book with the following format: Surname, N. (Year). Title of the book (number of pages). City of publication: Publisher

Example: Carballo, J. (2019). Ningún lugar más que acá (144 pp.). Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires: Concreto.

It is required to provide an image of the book cover with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi o equivalent, aligned to the right of the text Regarding the data of the author of the Review, follow general instruction

3. Body of work

Summary

Articles must be preceded by an abstract of no more than 200 (two hundred) words, in Spanish and English, followed by 5 (five) keywords in both languages. The summary/ abstract must contain the following aspects: statement of the problem, objective (s) of the research, working hypothesis, methodology to be used and synthesis of research contributions or conclusions. Before the abstract, the title must be placed in English, and it must respect the same characteristics as the title in Spanish.

Keywords

Use italics, without bold, and choose a maximum of 5 (five) words. They must all begin with a lowercase letter. Except in the case of proper nouns- and be separated by a semicolon. The use of period at the end of the series is incorrect. It is recommended that the keywords are part of the title or subtitle of the work or that they appear in the abstract. Remember that keywords help the reader or find a topic through search engines, which is why they are required to be central descriptors of the subject on which the article in about.

Subtitle

Subtitles should be typed in bold and left-aligned in lower case, initial capital only, with space above and below.

Paragraphs They must have a o.5 cm indentation. Avoid the use of bold and italics to highlight information, within the text or in a textual citation, if necessary, add between brackets, after the last highlighted element, the legend added bold or added italics. For example: [bold added]

End notes All “Notes” to the work (except the references with the author’s data that must be placed on the first page) must be at the end of the document: Place subtitle Notes, follow consecutive numbers (1,2, 3,…) and use Times New Roman 10. No graphics or textual citations of 40 or more than 40 words may be inserted in the endnotes.

Verbatim quotes If the citation has lees tan 40 words, it must be indicated in the text between quotations marks and the source must be included in parentheses: Author’s last name, year of edition used and page number. For example: “a quote of less than forty words” (Suárez, 1991, p. 120). If the citation covers more than one page, it is appropriate to page pp. instead of p. (This also applies to longer citations). For example: “A quote of less than forty words” (Suarez, 1991, pp. 120-121).

If the citation has 40 or more than 40 words, it does not have quotation marks and must be separated from the body of the text with two-line breaks both before and after the citation. In addition, a 2.54 cm bleed should be applied to the left margin. If said citation has more than one paragraph, an additional 0.5 cm indentation must be placed from the second onwards.

For example:

Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. Quotation of forty or more than forty words. (Suarez, 1991, p. 8).

Regarding the citation of the texts in verse (poems or musical themes), the original format must be maintained (indications, blank spaces, line breaks per stanza, etc). If it is fragment of less than 40 words, quotation marks must be used. For excerpts of forty or more than forty words, only the 1- inch indentation and double spacing before and after the citation are applied

If some of the cited material is omitted, ellipses should be used. For example: "The huge building whispers, breathes... And now the colonel has stopped, he is holding a machine gun that I did not see him take out of anywhere, and on tiptoe he walks towards the shield" (Walsh, 1965, p. 10).

Important note: Whenever an author's text is quoted or paraphrased, the source must be included. If it is a paraphrase, the correct format is (Author's last name, year). If it is a secondary source, that is, a publication where another author is retrieved, the format that should be used is: (Last name of the author of the citation, in Surname of the author who retrieves it, year). For example: (Mansilla, in López, 2005). In addition, whenever a textual citation is included, it is essential to include the corresponding page number.

Bibliographic references

Strictly governed by the criteria established in the APA Publications Manual, at the end of the article a section with the subtitle Bibliographic References will be included, which consists of including a list of the bibliographic sources that have been mentioned within the body of the text or his Notes, leaving out all other bibliography.

The elaboration of citations and references should be as complete as possible. If possible, it is recommended to include the unique identifier of the author (Orcid) and of the reference source (DOI, Handle, etc.) Specify the type of resource used (book, article, report, conference proceedings). In the case of internet sources: cite data repository, publication, Producer, geographical and temporal scope (for example: version of June 13, 2015).

References should be in alphabetical order according to the author's last name. Respect a 1.25 cm hanging indent on the first line, maintain Times New Roman 12 and single line spacing In case of having to refer to several works by the same author, the oldest should be placed first, and then the most recent. When several sources of the same author with the same year of edition are used, a letter must be placed next to the year, both in the body of the text and in the References. The assignment of the letter must respect the alphabetical order indicated by the titles of the works.

For example:

Castels, A. (2010a). Diálogos. De Sócrates a Platón. Córdoba: Cuenco.

Castels, A. (2010b). La poética de Aristóteles. Córdoba: Marea.

Castels, A. (2011). Filosofía para principiantes. Córdoba: Marea.

Year of edition: Both in References and in the body of the text, the year of edition of the text used must be indicated. When it is essential to mention the year of the first edition of the work, it will be placed, both in the text and in References, between parentheses and separated by a slash from the year of edition used. Thus, for example, if Philosophy for Beginners had been written in the year 1752, it would correspond to place in References: Castels, A. (1752/2011). Filosofía para principiantes. Córdoba: Marea.

In the case of book covers included in reviews, it is not necessary to apply the criteria described above.

19. Research data. As when texts, methods, historical archives, collections and computer programs are used in the articles, data must be cited and included in the references. For data citation, RECIAL follows the SciELO data policy, based on two principles:

• FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).

• TOP (Transparency and Openness Promotion). This means that research data used in articles should be available in open access repositories, following registration patterns that ensure authorship, use and citation of the data. This contributes to the replicability of research, increases the visibility and citations of research and journals. To learn more about data policy, we suggest reading:
