The body of the work should follow the following editorial guidelines for Revista Synthesis:
1.- Concise and informative title.
2.- Full name and surnames of author(s).
3.- Organization that author(s) belong to.
4.- The floppy disk with the article text and a printed copy should be accompanied by an abstract in the original language of the work and in English, preceding the article in the publication, no longer than 150 words, and 3 to 6 keywords in the original language of the work and English, to feed the journal’s databank and that of TOCS-IN (Tables of Contents of Journals of Interest to Classicists).
[Work originally written in English should be accompanied by an abstract and keywords in Spanish]
5.- The article should be no longer than 20 pages, up to 40,000 characters, including footnotes.

Notes should be numbered consecutively at the end of the article, in letter size 11 and single-spaced.
