The journal publishes in English; authors are welcome to submit articles in Spanish or Portuguese. There are limited funds available to help with the translation of articles of exceptional quality.
Debates and Book Reviews The editors invite anybody interested in contributing a book review, a review essay or a piece to the Debates section to contact the editorial office (email as above). Please note that BLAR does not accept unsolicited submissions of Debates or book reviews.
Abstract and keywords Authors should provide an abstract (maximum 100 words) of their paper, together with six keywords that indicate the themes of the article.
Check-list for Authors – Length 6,000–8,000 words (including notes and references). – Double spacing (including notes and references). – Separate cover sheet with your contact details, ensuring that your name does not appear on the article itself so that it can be sent straight out for anonymous review. – Footnotes should be incorporated into the main text of the article or omitted. – Abstract of up to 100 words; six keywords. – Tables or figures on separate pages at the end of the text. – Numbers: one to twenty in words; 21 upwards in figures. – Spelling: standard British spelling (-ise not -ize, labour not labor, etc.). – Punctuation: British style, i.e., full stops and commas outside of quotation marks not inside, i.e., President Fox said, ‘The economy is booming’. NOT President Fox said, ‘The economy is booming.’ – Dates: Use the full form, 2002–2003; 1 January 2004; twentieth century not 20th century; the 1990s. – Quotations: single quotation marks (double for quotations within quotations). – Paragraphs: indent each new paragraph; no blank line between paragraphs. – Acronyms: no full stops (USA, UNESCO, etc.). – Italicise single words or short phrases in another language (terms not in common usage should be glossed in square brackets at first occurrence). - Quotations of foreign-language texts to be in English translation; the original may also be supplied if desired, after consultation with the editors.

Copyright Authors must obtain permission to reproduce material under copyright. The editors will consider material that has previously had limited circulation elsewhere. Submission of an article implies, however, that it has not previously been published and will not be reproduced in full or in part without the permission of the publishers. If you have any queries about copyright please contact Wiley-Blackwell Limited, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK.
Exclusive Licence Form Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material (government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here.
Proofs Authors will receive electronic proofs for checking.
Offprints A PDF offprint of published articles and book reviews will be supplied free of charge. This will be supplied through Wiley-Blackwell's Author Services system, so authors should remember to register for this service in order to access their offprint. Details of how to register follow below.
Online production tracking is now available for your article through Wiley-Blackwell’s Author Services. Author Services enables authors to track their article – once it has been accepted – through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
New: Pre-submission English-language editing Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscripts professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Early View Bulletin of Latin American Research is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors’ final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
