Author Guidelines

Submissions can only be made via our website (authors must first register).

The journal accepts submissions in Spanish, French and English for its Studies and Essays sections.

They may deal with any topic related to gender studies and approached from a feminist perspective, and may be from any discipline or field of knowledge. The criteria for acceptance of the texts, which will be subject to blind peer review, will be as follows:

  1. Authors, who may belong to a Spanish or foreign university or research centre, or who may carry out their research independently, undertake to ensure that the articles are original and unpublished, and that they are not in the process of being accepted by other publications. Any degree of plagiarism will be grounds for automatic rejection for publication.
  2. The articles will have an academic structure with clear argumentation, use of verifiable sources, coherence and appropriate writing.
  3. Articles will be developed using a methodology specific to the field or discipline to which they belong.
  4. They will have a maximum length of 9,000 words, including footnotes, bibliography and graphs, tables or images.
  5. Additional material, such as graphics, tables or images, must comply with the following guidelines:

    1. The author of the text assumes responsibility for the reproduction rights of this material, whether produced by himself or supplied by third parties. In this case, authorization must be obtained.
      The maximum number of additional elements is limited to 10, provided that their use is justified by the topic of the subject matter.
      These graphic elements must be numbered according to their typology (table, map, graph, etc.), accompanied by their sources , and must be attached to the proposal sent for evaluation.

  6. They must contain a first page with the author's personal information (name, surname, e-mail, affiliation if any). In case of co-authorship (meaning the same degree of significant contribution to the preparation of the paper)  the surnames should appear in alphabetical order. The source of funding, if any, should be included, as well as in the acknowledgements section those persons who, due to their minor contribution, cannot assume the responsibility of authorship.
  7. They should include an abstract of between 150 and 200 words, in English, French and/or Spanish, which should define the subject, approach and conclusions of the paper. Five keywords in English, French and/or Spanish (keywords) should also be included.

The body of the text should be written in Times New Roman, size 12, with 1.5 line spacing. Paragraphs should follow each other without spaces, with an indentation of 1.25 cm on the first line.

Bibliographical citations should be indicated in the text itself, and should always correspond with their complete reference in the final bibliography. They should be abbreviated according to the Harvard-APA system: (Last name, year: page/s).

Example: (Nash, 1993: 323)

Footnotes will contain only additional text or references to archival, press or other non-bibliographic sources.

The bibliography will follow the Harvard-APA system, but proper names will be written in full and not only with initials. The author's surnames should be in small caps; in case of any problem with the application of small caps, the surnames should be left in lower case to facilitate later correction:

The bibliography is at the end. It will contain only the references cited in the text. It is arranged as follows:

  • Alphabetically by authorship: author, corporate author, entity; in the absence of authorship, by the title of the document.
  • If the authorship coincides, they are arranged chronologically by date.
  • If authorship and date coincide, they are sorted alphabetically by title and a lower-case letter is added to the year in correlative order (2016a, 2016b, etc.). For example: Nash, Mary (2005a). Inmigrantes en nuestro espejo: inmigración y discurso periodístico en la prensa española. Barcelona: Icaria. Nash, Mary (2005b). Women in the world: history, challenges and movements. Madrid: Alianza.
  • References with a single author are listed first, then those in which the author appears with another person, and finally those in which more than one person appears.
  • References in which one person is the main author are listed first, then those in which he/she has another function, always in alphabetical order: Comp., Coord.
