Work should be presented in A4 paper format, in Times New Roman 10 point, with upper and lower margins 2.5cm and right and left margins 3cm.
Articles, essays and research notes:
Order of sections:
1. First page:
- Article title in Spanish and English (centred and in font size 12)
- Name and surname of author(s) (aligned to the right followed by organization. E.g.: Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliotecológicas; and postal address and e-mail with which the author can be contacted)
- Abstract of up to 200 words in Spanish and English.
- Up to key words in Spanish and their equivalents in English.
2. Text: double-spaced, starting each paragraph without an indent, without tab and without leaving a greater space between them. It should be double justified and hyphens should not be used to separate words into syllables.
2.1 Titles: For greater clarity, different sections of the text may be separated by sub-headings in letter size 10, like the rest of the text. Main subheadings should be written in bold, second subheadings in italics and third subheadings in normal letters, two spaces from preceding text and one from the subsequent text.
2.2 Units of measurement: use the metric decimal system, abbreviated in lowercase and without full-stops (5 km, 15 kg), except when using unspecified quantities.
2.3 Numbers: for numbers of over three figures in Spanish use a full-stop (8.000, 152.000) and for decimals use a comma (12,5).
2.4 Abbreviations: only use where necessary. Abbreviations or acronyms of extensive institution names may be used, which should be written in full the first time they appear, followed by clarification in parentheses. E.g.: Asociación de Bibliotecarios Graduados de la República Argentina (ABGRA).
2.5 Foreign words should be written in italics.
2.6 Textual transcriptions: if including textual citations longer than two lines, put these in a separate, single-spaced paragraph, with left and right indent of 1cm, without inverted commas.
2.7 Citations should be made in the text with the author-date system. In parentheses indicate the author’s surname, publication year and page(s) cited where necessary. E.g.: (López, 1985: 93), (González y Rubio, 1990: 110-111), (Rodríguez, 1990; Pérez, 1992). For more than three authors use the first author followed by “et al”. (Johnson et al., 1970: 25-26). For more than one work by the same author and year: (Alonso, 1988a) (Alonso, 1988b).
When citing a specific volume of a work of various volumes, insert the number after the year (Waterman 1990, 2: 3-7). If in the Bibliography only the reference to one volume of the work is included, do not include the number in the citation. Where an ideological rather than textual citation is made, include only the year in parentheses: Smith (1950).
3. Notes: Must not be inserted at the foot of the page and must appear at the end of the text. Must be numbered consecutively. The first note should be used for acknowledgements, where relevant, or any other clarification regarding the nature of the work. Authors are advised not to use unnecessary notes.
4. Bibliography: Must follow these norms:
The bibliography must be cited with the author-date form. All citations in the text should correspond to works in the bibliography. Equally, references should not include works that have not been mentioned in the text. Where possible, use the full first name of the author or editor. Bibliographical references should be ordered alphabetically by author’s surname. Where various works by the same author are cited, order these chronologically by publication year, and where there are various references from the same year, order these alphabetically by the title of the work, adding a lowercase letter, as in the example:
Briones, Carlos. 1987
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Briones, Carlos. 1988a
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Briones, Carlos. 1988b
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Briones, Carlos. 1990
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
