All publication rights are reserved. For the complete or partial reproduction, by any means, of the articles in Estudios Filológicos, it will be necessary to have the authorization of the editor and the author's one.
The editor has the right to accept or reject the received manuscripts (for which end he counts with a Revision Committee) or introduce the necessary modifications to comply with the style of the journal.
The eventual notes to the text shall appear as footnotes. Footnote numbers are "superior figures", typed slightly above the line, without parentheses.

The reference shall appear at the end of the quotation as if it were a textual reference (see further on); the above shall be equally valid for indirect quotations or paraphrasing.
The quotation marks and the calls to footnotes shall be annotated before the punctuation:
"... de su libertad expresiva". ... que la sociedad asigna a la variedad en cuestión.
If it is necessary to subdivide the article, use decimal numbers (beginning by 1, followed by 1.1. or 2, as required).
Textual References. For source citation the author-date system shall be used in parentheses (not excluding footnotes when they are content notes or bibliographical notes with commentaries) This system includes the author's surname and year of publication (using only one space between them) and only if the latter has not been indicated in the text, followed, when necessary, by the reference to the page(s) and preceded by a space and colon: "... más que una realidad dañina (Wolf 1938:122)".

Works Cited. The bibliographical sources at the end of the paper shall only refer to works actually considered in its elaboration. For this reason its listing shall be headed by the title "Works Cited" and separated from the first entry by double spacing. If an entry takes more than one line, a five space indentation on the left margin must be made.
The titles of autonomous publications (books, magazines) should be underlined, those dependent (part of a book, papers) should be in quotation marks.
Book Citations. An entry in a list of cited works has four main divisions -author, date, title and publication data- being each one of them separated by a period, as follows:
Alonso, Amado. 1955. Materia y forma en poesía. Madrid: Gredos.
If more information is required, it should be separated from the previous one by means of a period and shall be ordered in the following manner:
Name of the author: in inverse order and shall determine the alphabetical order of the works cited. The name should always be given as it appears in the page (if the name appears in its full form and inverted, it should not be abbreviated).
Year of publication: if several works by the same author and published the same year are cited, they shall be identified by means of the letters a, b, c..., respectively, placed after the year and without spacing or comma. If the date is no included on the title page, on the copyright page or on the colophon, use the last copyright date. When a work does not indicate date, provide approximate information (within square brackets) or use abbreviation s. f.
Title of a chapter or of paper in an anthology: should be cited after the author's name, normally in quotation marks unless that part of the book has been published as an autonomous book, in which case it should be underlined.
Title of the book: should be given in its entirety, including its subtitle, if any. In the latter case, both shall be separated by a period and underlined. An unusually long title may be abbreviated to its essentials, not reduced to the first words.
Editor's, translator's or compiler's name: if included on the title page, is usually provided in the entry after the work with only one space, without parentheses, and abbreviated: Ed(s)., Trad. or Comp. If the reference is theirs, those abbreviations, now in small letters, shall be placed after the author's name, also without parentheses and separated from it by a comma.
Published edition used: only its number should be indicated if it is posterior to the first edition and abbreviated: 3ed.
The number of volumes: if more than one, should be indicated at the end of the entry, followed by one space and their first and last publishing years.
Name of collection or series: when quoting a book which is part of a collection, its name shall be given. If it is a publication series, the number it has in the series shall be given.
Place (city) and publisher: colon and one space should enclosed the place and the publisher. If several places are mentioned (simultaneous publication), only the first must be given. If the title page includes two publishers, both should be quoted and separated by a semi colon. In case of reprintings both the original and the reprinting should be cited. When a work does not indicate place or publisher, provide approximate information (within square brackets) or use abbreviations s.l. or s.e.
Number of pages: when you quote part of a book (an essay, a chapter, an introduction), you shall indicate its initial and final numbers.
