• All citations in the text with three or more authors are shortened to the name of the first author plus «et al.».

• It is no longer necessary to put the location (city) of a book publisher in the reference.

• The number of authors included in a reference has changed; up to 20 authors must be included before names are omitted.

• The "DOI:" tag is no longer used, and the words "Retrieved from" are used only when there is a required retrieval date.

• The author's note includes more information, such as ORCID ID, disclosure of conflicts of interest or lack thereof, among others (APA, 2020).

Quotations in the Text: It is recommended to follow the examples for citations.

• When the citation corresponds to a document written by a single author, it will be cited as follows:

García (2011) states: “This means that, in a certain sense, what happens to us instantly affects things in the far reaches of the universe, (...). In some way…. (p. 153).

This means that, in a sense, what happens to us instantly affects things in the far reaches of the universe, ... In a sense…. (García, 2011, p. 153).

When a source has two authors, their surnames are separated by "and" in both narrative and parenthetical citations. This is a proposal for adaptation to Spanish.

 

• García and Méndez (2017) state that...
• ... it is necessary to make these considerations (Otzen and Manterola, 2017).
• Ravenhill and De Visser (2018) postulate in their theory that...

- When there are three or more authors, the surname of the first is cited followed by “et al.” (meaning “and others”) from the first citation.

• Morrison et al. (2015) state that gender diversity...
• ... an egalitarian perspective between genders (Morrison et al., 2015).

Table 1. Citations according to number of authors

Source: own elaboration.

• If an Author has participated as the author of more than one book with different authors in the same year, as presented in the following example:
  • Rodríguez, Suárez, Masiero, Tabarez and Couto, 2010
  • Rodríguez, Suárez, Soto, Calandria, and Figueredo, 2010
  
  
• The Solution in this case, is always to write the names of the authors as far as it is possible to distinguish the list of authors to which you refer. In this case, the following:
  •Rodríguez, Suárez, Masiero et al., 2010
  •Rodríguez, Suárez, Soto et al., 2010
• Quotes within quotes: Do not omit quotes that are in the original material you are quoting. Citations within citations do not need to be included in the reference list (unless you cite them as primary sources elsewhere in your article).

• "In Argentina, the Argentine Society of Prostate Cancer (2003) stated that around 1 000 cases could be diagnosed early, which would increase the chance of survival by 80%" (Soto et al., 2005, p. 198).

4.22 The article should be carefully reviewed to verify that the authors' names are written, and the year are exactly the same in the text and in the list of references, taking into account the APA rules.

Use the following format in the bibliography to cite the references:

Diagramming the contents:  Once the articles have been reviewed, the editor must take the decision of what content will be published in the number. Having the approved items, another stage comes in which the contents are passed by a form correction; this stage can also contemplate the translation of title, keywords and summaries, and the final art of the number, especially for the case of printed journals. In the case of online journals, the graphic aspect must also be taken care of, since the contents must be in accordance with the graphic line of the journal's website and the previous issues. Finally, content must be prepared for the different indexes or databases where the journal is included.

Structuring Tables, Figures, Texts and Numbers: To facilitate the standardization of standards and be uniforms in certain editorial processes, in addition to facilitating the design and layout phases, it establishes that every scientific journal of the university must accept the following internal rules regarding tables, figures, graphs, texts and numbers, like this:

Boards

• They must be produced in a MS Word or MS Excel table processor with the same source and one point less than the text. Do not use the space bar or the tab key.
• The tables should be numbered and cited according to their sequence in the text, in correlative order with Arabic numerals and they will have a descriptive and brief legend in the upper part, which will be the reference of the table. It is recommended that the legend be clear and informative, in order to avoid consulting the text to understand the table.
• Each table must be inserted in the body of the manuscript and the content of it must be concise and summarized.
• The information presented in the tables should not appear repeated in the figures.
• The headings of the columns should be brief, but explanatory. Use bold only in headings (horizontal and vertical). The standard abbreviations of the units of measure should be placed in parentheses.
• Vertical and horizontal lines should be used to separate the columns and rows. The cells will not carry colors.
• Any additional explanation for the understanding of the table should be provided as a footnote.
• When the text is on the left side of the table it should be aligned to the left side, if it is on the right side it is justified, just like when the table contains only text.
• When the numbers are on the left side of the table they should be aligned in the central position, if they are on the right side they should be aligned to the right and when the table contains only numbers they will be centered.

• List of the legends of the figures

– • Like the tables, the figures should be inserted in the body of manuscript sequentially.

– • Bold should not be used and both lowercase and uppercase letters will be accented.

- • It is recommended that the legends be informative so that the reader does not need to consult the text to understand what the figure shows.

- • It is recommended that the explanations or descriptions that are considered necessary be written in the same legend to avoid text within the figures.

Figures

• The figures (drawings, maps, sheets, diagrams, computer graphics and photographs) must be sent in independent files, in high-quality digital graphic format (tiff, bmp, jpg or gif), with a resolution minimum of 300 dpi. If possible, it is recommended to send vector graphic files or failing Send the original editable file in MS Excel.
• The name of the file corresponding to the figure will be that of the first author followed by the number of the figure, López fig.1.jpg.
• Each of the figures must be editable.
• The figures will be numbered with Arabic numerals according to their sequence of appearance in the text.
• The figures must be designed taking into account the format of the page of the journal. Its original size must allow a 50% reduction, without loss of clarity.
• Composite figures with several images will be listed consecutively. Example: Figure 1a, 1b, 1c, etc. The Drawings must have a comparative scale to determine the increase.
• The figures must be presented in a single plane (Do not use 3D effects), without horizontal lines and with a box on the outside.
• Use the same type of font (Times New Roman 12 pts) in all illustrations and follow the style of the journal.

Abbreviations

• They are written the first time they appear in parentheses, complete and in their language of origin. The use of acronyms that are not universally recognized.

Scientific nomenclature

The scientific names of genera and species should be written in italics. When they mention the first time, they are placed complete, even in the title and the summary, only to be used later the initial letter of the genre in capital letters, followed by the full name of the species in italics.

Regarding the decimal figures, comma (,) should be used in the case of written contributions in Spanish and period (.) in those written in English. In the case of units of one thousand should be used a space and not a period or a comma. When numbers ranging from 0 to 9 are mentioned, they should be written in letters, exception of those that indicate decimals, percentage or metric units.

Units

The measurements must be expressed in units of the metric system; a space is left between the number and the unit of measurement and should not point after the abbreviation (15 m, 10%, 20 ° C, 7 kg). The units of abbreviated measures should only be used when preceded by numbers.

Formulas

• Mathematical equations should be written as editable text and not as images. Give the meaning of all the symbols immediately after the equation in which they are used for the first time.
• For simple fractions use the symbol “/” instead of the horizontal line; For example: instead of
• The equations explicitly referenced in the text must be numbered consecutively on the right side, in brackets.
• The level of statistical significance must be indicated by the letter "p" lowercase and without space between the sign and the value of significance. Example: p <0.05.

THE EVALUATION PROCESS

The evaluation process begins at the moment in which the author and his article comply with the preliminary evaluation guidelines set out in the authors guide, which must be adjusted by 90%, consequently, if they do not comply with the guidelines, they may be rejected. In the case of those articles that require minor adjustments (Author's Guide), the article will be sent so that the author can apply the corresponding guidelines to it, this period should not be longer than 15 business days. Once the guidelines are met, the Editorial Committee will evaluate the relevance of the article. To then select the evaluators. 

The postulated articles will be evaluated by national and international anonymous peers (preferably outside the publishing institution), experts in the specific topic of the article to conceptualize the work considering the following criteria:

• Internal coherence of work.
• Quality and coherence of speech.
• Domain of knowledge, quality or academic level.
• Contribution to knowledge.
• Contribution to future research.
• Originality and scientific quality.

The evaluator will issue his concept in the article evaluation format, where he will rate each of them aspects such as Excellent (E), Good (B), Regular (R) or Deficient (D), and will emit the following concepts: i) publishable without modifications, ii) publishable with slight modifications, iii) publishable with substantial modification and iv) not publishable. In addition, the evaluator, if considered necessary, may add observations and recommendations in additional formats or sheets.

In case a positive and a negative evaluation is presented, the article will be sent to a third pair to define its status (Table 2).

Table 2. Concepts of evaluation by pairs.

Source: own elaboration.

Evaluation times. The time between the selection of the evaluators and the acceptance or delivery of the concept takes place in an average time of six (6) months. However, this period may be shorter or longer, depending on the availability of the reviewers and other factors that may delay or accelerate the process. The journal will only send the authors an official communication about their article, once it has a decision-making result of the evaluator.

When the evaluator issues a concept of publishable with substantial modifications, the authors must make and send those corrections in a time of eight (8) days. When the concept is published with slight modifications, the maximum time to make corrections and send is four (4) days. All these times counted from the date of note of notice to the author.
