Format Guidelines
Revista Historia Autónoma accepts texts submitted in Spanish and English. The Editorial Board may consider publication in other languages, at the previous request of the authors.
All texts should use Times New Roman font, size 12 for body and abstracts, and size 10 for footnotes. The text should be 1.5 line spacing. It must be justified on both sides, indented on the first line of each paragraph by 1 cm and contain no spaces between paragraphs.
The extension of the paper will depend on the type of work. In this way:
- Articles will not exceed the 50,000 characters without spaces.
- Interviews will have a maximum of 22,000 characters without spaces.
- Bibliographical reviews and reports of scientific meetings will be 10,000 characters without spaces.
In all cases, the different elements that compose the paper will be taken into account: title, name and university of the author or authors, abstracts, keywords, text and footnotes.
The papers should be headed by a title, in lower capitals, size 16 and aligned to the left.
The name of the author or authors should be separated from the title by a double space, in capital letters, size 14 and aligned to the right. The given name should appear followed by the two family names. Under the name, if proceed, it should be indicated the academic or institutional organisation of the author or authors at the moment of the submission, aligned to the right and in lower letters, except the initials. Additionally, each author should indicate their contact email address and its ORCID ID.
In research articles, authors will choose the order of signature in the case of multiple authorship. In these cases, a footnote should indicate the criteria chosen to decide the order of signature, as well as the specific contribution of each author to the published work.
Two abstracts should come before the body of the works, one in Spanish and the other in English, being the former in the language of the paper. These abstracts should be separated from the name of the author or authors by a double space and headed (in lower capitals and bold) by the words “resumen” and “abstract”, respectively. Their extension will be between 150 and 200 words in both cases, always attending to the format of the paragraph indicated before. Under each abstract, and in the same language, a maximum of five key words on the paper should be included.
With a separation of four spaces the body of the work will appear, following the format indicated above. The notes will be written at the end of the page, when the quote in the text is finished, and before the stop if needed; the bibliography used should be included properly according to the rules that will be established below. The figures included in the paper should be numbered in the text under the formula [fig. 1]. They should contain an explanatory title of their content, as this example shows: Figure 1: Development of the GDP in Spain (1975-2000). The source of the figure will appear under it.
The author can organise the work in sections if he/she wishes to do so. If the work has sections, these should appear in size 14, in lower capitals and with Arabic numbers. The section headings should be consecutive, size 12, in bold and with Arabic numerals.
The quotes in the text should appear in inverted commas, properly bibliographically referenced by means of footnotes. If the quote has more than three lines, it should be separated from the body of the text by one space, written in size 10 and intended 1.5 cm to both sides.
A footnote or a specific acknowledgements section should be included, indicating the funding agency and the project code of the project in the framework of which the research leading to the publication has been carried out.
There will not be an exclusive section to quote the bibliography used throughout the work. All the bibliographical references will be written as footnotes. When quoting, the next guidelines will be followed and should be completely accomplished to publish the paper.
