Paper: Times New Roman, 12 cpi.     Capital letters should only be used in those cases where it is strictly necessary.     Small capital letters are capital letters of the size of lower case letters. Surnames in the references section should be written in small capitals except for the initial letter, which should be capital. If this is not possible, that is, your word processor does not admit it, you can write initial letter in capital and the rest in normal lower case letters.     Italics will only be used for foreign terms or in order to highlight some word. By the same token, italics will be used in the reference section for book titles.     The use of bold type is restricted to headlines or titles. Hence, its use in the main text of the paper should be avoided. The original text should not include any type of underlining.     * Quotations     Text quotes should be placed in the body of the main text between angled commas (´ ª); or when it is suitable as follows: ´" ' ' "ª.     Long quotations (more than three lines) should be indented in a new paragraph and typed in a smaller text font type than that of the main text without inverted commas or Italics. They may also be clearly signalled as quotations.     If part of a quoted text is omitted, this should be signalled by using square brackets: [....]     These should also be employed for comments or asides on quotation.     Text quotations should be preceded by bibliographical reference as in (author, year: pages). This is aimed at diminishing the number of footnotes.     * Hyphens     Hyphens should only be used for compound terms or to indicate pages in the references section. Dashes act as parenthesis. In this last case, a full stop after the comment does not allow for using a second dash.     * Notes     Regarding notes from the original text, these should be presented in an independent document or at the end of the whole text conveniently numbered after punctuation marks. Footnotes should thus be reduced and also presented in an independent document, since brief bibliographical references are already included in the text.     * References in the text Brief references should only indicate the authors' surname in lower case letter and the year of publication. If suitable it may also provide the pages being referred, as complete data will be provided in the references section. [...] has stated (Bellés, 1999: 34-56) If pages are continuos, you should write a hyphen between number pages, otherwise pages should be separated by commas. Bellés, 1999:34,67,109. If the referred work contains more than a volume, the one indicated should be written down after semicolon in roman numbers: Riquer-Valverde, 1984:II,193. Hence, Latin abbreviations should be avoided: loc. cit., op. cit, ibídem... 1.6.
