NOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC COMMENTARIES: presentation and commentaries of articles and books recently published of interest to the journal. Commentaries require the signature of the author at the end of the contribution. Maximum 2 pages.
Text and images should be in black-and-white. There will be a charge of US $90 per page for any images that the authors feel must be published in color. Contributions should be submitted as three printed copies (1 original and 2 copies) and 1 electronic version (diskette or compact disk).
Formatting:
Each author of the manuscript must be listed with one last name and one first name, and the initials of the middle name or second last name. Each author should indicate with an asterisk-footnote their academic institution, mailing address, and email. The title of the manuscript should be centered and in capital letters, and each subheading should be in capital letters and left-side adjusted.
Reference citations should follow one these two forms:
A) Footnotes with the complete reference, indicating the author, year of publication, and followed by op cit. (in italics) when new references are made to the same document. When the citation specifies page numbers, the authors should use p. for a single page and pp. for various pages. For instance: Martinic 1982, op. cit. pp. 23-25.
B) In text, in parenthesis as author and year: number of pages (e.g. Martinic 1983, Massone 1987: 234). Additional citations of work by the same author should be separated with a comma between each year. A semicolon should separate additional citations of work by different authors. If several works by the same author and year are being cited, then lowercase letters should be used to distinguish each paper. The citation should only include the author’s first last name. When citing work by two authors use an ampersand symbol "&"between both last names. When citing work with three or more authors, cite only the first author’s last name followed by et al. (in italics). Also, references like lbid. and com pers. (in parenthesis) should be used.
The reference list can be formatted in the following two styles:
A) Sources, separated between unpublished documents, manuscripts and published materials, among others.
B) Bibliography.
Sources and bibliography should be listed in alphabetical order, with all authors (in capital letters, and indicating with lowercase in parenthesis when editors), and then, the year of publication. The title of the work must be written in italics when it is a book and in normal text when it is a paper or book chapter. Quotation marks shall never be used for this purpose. Then, the title of the journal must be specified in italics, followed by the volume and number (in parenthesis), colon and number of pages. For instance, Magallania 31(2):122-145. When referencing book chapters, or parts of a book, the following format should be used: En: name of the book (italics), editors and press. When referencing manuscripts, thesis, and other unpublished work, all information previously mentioned must be included without using italics. MS (in capital letters) must be used at the end of a manuscript’s reference. In addition, for all previous cases, the place of publication must be specified at the end of each reference.
Quotes, text transcriptions, words in foreign language, neologisms, words not accepted by the Real Academia de la Lengua Española, and scientific names must be written in italics, without quotation marks.
Figures and tables must be numbered in order of appearance with Arabic numbers, and all figure and table captions must be included in a separate page. Figures include maps, photographs, graphs, and illustrations in general. They must be referred in the text with the abbreviation Fig.
Abbreviations of metric measurements, as well as chronological dating should not include an end-point (e.g., AP, aC, cm, mm, kg, msnm, gr). Chronological dating must include ?13, the standard error of the estimation and the laboratory acronyms.
Years must not include a period (e.g., 1999) and chronologies must have a period in the thousands (e.g., 10.4500 años AP, 1.500 AC).
Geographical terms must be written in lowercase. For instance: estrecho de Magallanes, lago Deseado, Puerto Percy, océano Pacífico, etc.
Technical specifications:

Figures and maps must be sent in paper copy for press-quality, and in high-quality electronic version. The quality of each figure should be suitable for its reproduction at a width of 7 cm (one column) or 15 cm (two columns) and at a maximum height of 22 cm. Images must have a minimal resolution of 300 dpi, and submitted as TIFF or JPG.
Text files should be submitted as MS Word or RTF.
