- Current academic degree of the author(s), specifying the full name of the institution where it was obtained.

- Research area and/or keywords.

- and email of the author(s).

Appointments

- Every textual citation must be accompanied by its corresponding bibliographical reference, which must include a page number (p. xx). If the source does not provide a page number, the paragraph number must be indicated (para. xx). If the document uses headings, cite the heading and the following paragraph number (heading name, par. xx).

- Latin words will be omitted, such as: cfr., cf., Ibid, Ibidem, Op. Cit, etc.

- To enclose the quotes, the tall quotation marks (" ") and, within them, the simple ones (' ') will be used.

- When an unnecessary passage is deleted from the citation, an ellipsis will be used to indicate such deletion without framing it in brackets or parentheses.

- When a passage is added to the citation by the author, parentheses will be used to indicate it.

- If you want to emphasize a word or words in a quote, write them down in italics. Immediately after the words in italics, insert “italics added” between square brackets, like this: “[italics added]”.

- Quotations of more than forty words will be indented (the entire paragraph and not the first line), without quotation marks and written in Arial 11.

Example:

Miele (1993) found that:

The "placebo effect" which had been verified in previous studies, disappeared when the behaviors were studied in this way. Furthermore, the behaviors were no longer present, even when dizzying [sic] drugs were administered. The first studies (Abudllah, 1984; Fox, 1979) were clearly premature in attributing the results to the placebo effect (p. 276).

- When citing sources, either directly or paraphrasing the author, the author, year of publication and page number (in the case of a textual citation) must be provided in parentheses and separated by commas:

Ex. 1: Precisely, this trend has been considered "a widely noted epistemological obstacle in communication research" (Vassallo, 1999, p. 20).

Ex. 2: Under the same idea, Wright (1975) emphasizes that the study of communicators, worldwide, has been neglected to give investigative attention to the other components of the research process.

Example 3: In Uruguay, the offer of Argentine and Brazilian telenovelas, on its screens, is the one with the highest percentage, almost three quarters of the total fiction shown on its television screens (Sánchez, 2009).

- In the case of referring to various sources, they must be in alphabetical order and separated by semicolons (;).

Eg: Even in some authors who openly subscribe to the last of the trends mentioned (Atwood, 1978; Montero et al., 2001; Ruiz, 1998), one of the most pronounced features is evident.

- When a cited work has two authors, always cite both names each time the reference appears within the text.

- When a work has between three and five authors, cite them all the first time the reference is presented; in subsequent citations, include only the last name of the first author, followed by “et al.” (without italics and with a period after “to”) and the year, if it is the first citation of the reference of a paragraph.

Eg: Wasserstein, Zappullla, Rosen, Gerstman, and Rock (1993) found that [first citation in text]

Wasserstein et al. (1993) found that [subsequent first citation per paragraph thereafter]

Wasserstein et al. found that (omit the year in subsequent citations after the first citation within a paragraph).

- When a work has six or more authors, cite only the surname of the first of them followed by "et al." (without italics and with a period after “al”.)
