 Declaration of Contribution (by author)

For example,

Luis Pérez: Research and application of the experiment

Rosa Solís: Writing and scientific style

 Introduction

A brief reference will be made to the research context that will give rise to the scientific problem. The state of the art or the background of the research will be referenced in order to reinforce the criteria offered by the author and give scientific character to his article. The social impact of the solution that will be proposed in the study will be expressed. It must end with the objective and have more than one page. All text content will be written in Times New Roman font, 12pt size, 1.5 line spacing and 2.5 cm margins.

Development (Not explicitly stated)

It can be organized in the form of paragraphs without explicit subdivision, or using different subheadings (bold, never underlined or italicized). It is necessary to highlight that no title or subtitle has a full stop.

The conceptual reference is supported by sufficient and appropriate authority figures. The importance of the topic covered is demonstrated and innovative information is provided to studies of the science in question. Relevant citations are used, with primary sources up to 10 years old predominating (unless the historicity of the topic is addressed).

 

Citations will appear in APA (American Psychological Association) 7th edition format.

Textual quotes of less than five lines (or forty words) and paraphrases will always be presented in the body of the work in quotation marks and at the end the author's first surname, the year of publication of the material consulted and the page will be declared in parentheses (

s) of the fragment or idea used; for example: (Acosta, 2013, p.17), (Menéndez, 2014, pp.15-20) or Quintana (2015, p. 10), as the case may be.

When the textual or direct quote is greater than or equal to five lines, they must appear in a separate paragraph, with an indentation of 2 cm, 5 spaces from the left margin defined for the article and without quotation marks;

At the end the reference will be incorporated in parentheses, the same as the previous example shown. Only footnotes will be accepted.

Sample and methodology

The sample selection criteria will be explained in detail, the investigative methods and techniques used and their purposes will be stated, as well as the means required if necessary.

The tools used to compare the results using inferential statistics and evaluate their significance will be precisely stated. Both figures (photos, diagrams, illustrations, etc.) and tables (information represented in boxes, rows and columns) and graphs must be included in a coherent manner with the body of the text and, therefore, it is recommended to mention them as a reference (appointment).

 To do this, there are two ways:

The participation percentages (tables 3 and 4) support this idea. The data presented in tables 3 and 4 support this idea.

Figures and tables must be numbered (table 1, table 2, figure 1, figure 2, graph 1, graph 2);

with 1.0 line spacing, centered and without an end point. Likewise, it is important to include, along with the numbered label, the title (in the case of tables) or description (in the case of figures) and the respective credit or font in italics and font size 10 (from which it was extracted). or if it was self-made in italics); each data with font size 10, as shown in the following figure:

Below the source you can add a note (Note: clarifications of abbreviations, etc.) with descriptive elements if it is considered by the author.

Results: the most relevant findings obtained in the research carried out will be clearly recorded.

Discussion: in this section the results shown will be analyzed and interpreted, comparing them with those obtained by other published authors, indicating whether their own surpass those, equal them, differ or have aspects of coincidence.

Reference will be made to the limitations and contributions of the research, as well as the practical or theoretical significance of its main results.

Always remember throughout the body of the work not to use gerunds, or prettified language (metaphor, simile...) or personified language.

Avoid issuing a criterion if you are not going to demonstrate with arguments. The paragraphs should be framed in around eight lines and the ideas should be written in active voice.

Conclusions

They will be presented listed, in a direct and concise manner.

It must be closely related to the results achieved and the objective declared in the article. At least three conclusions. Gratuitous statements and conclusions not fully supported by the work data should be avoided.

Bibliographic References

References will be recorded following the APA (American Psychological Association) seventh edition style.

At least 10 settlements. Arranged alphabetically and in French paragraph.

The works referenced in the text and those that are essential to mention are written.

It is not accepted that an author has been referenced in the content and does not appear in the bibliography; or that an author has been cited or paraphrased and is not referenced in the body of the article.
