Style

The journal follows guidelines adopted by the Association of Spanish Language Academies for all matters relating to grammar and spelling, capitalization, and so forth. If in doubt, please consult the «Normas para presentación de originales» and «Normas de estilo» of the Editorial CSIC, accessed online at https://editorial.csic.es/publicaciones/portal/autores/normas/8eae4e55-241d-4a83-9846-850196dbdb8b.

No bold or underlining should be employed, and italics only with words in another language or content of special interest in each article. No abbreviations such as op. cit., vid., cfr.,and the like should be used.

In the case of the same quotes appearing in consecutives notes, Ibidem may be used when it includes some variant, and Idem if exactly the same as the previous one.

Latin quotation marks (« ») should always be used; in case of quotation marks inside another quotation mark, progression will be written « “ ‘ ’ ” ». Bracketed phrases must always be marked with double hyphen (--).

References must always be indicated in notes and not in the text. Such notes will be placed in footnotes. If references to notes align with any punctuation, they will be placed after it.

The Anuario de Estudios Americanos reserves the right to exercise any stylistic correction to suit editing guidelines and journal format. In case of disagreement with the author, the criteria of the journal will prevail.

Only original works that conforms to these guidelines will be considered.

Use of inclusive language and good practices in gender equality

At Anuario de Estudios Americanos journal, we have an unwaivable commitment to equity, diversity and respect for all people. Authors should use bias-free language, avoid stereotypes, and commit to inclusive language. In particular, the concealment of women behind the masculine generic and the use of initials in bibliographic citations, in which the full names of the authors cited, must be included. Authors of research involving the participation of population (both children, youth or adults) should considerer the relevance of incorporating sex or gender as a variable of analysis in the research design and establishing whether it has had an influence on the results obtained.

As a more general orientation, the journal Anuario de Estudios Americanos recommends the RCSIC Press recommendations for an inclusive and non-sexist language(2022) and the Guide for a non-sexist use of the language of the Autonomous University of Madrid (2019), also adopted by the CSIC.

For papers written in English, the guide published by the American Phylosophical Association can be used as an orientation, available in the following link: https://www.apaonline.org/page/nonsexist

There are several repositories destined to conserve and disseminate concrete data such as results of surveys, observations, interviews, simulations, automatically collected data, samples, models ... If necessary, authors can consult the Registry of Research Data Repositories re3data taking into account that each repository has its own deposit rules.
