Author Guidelines

Articles will be sent to the journal filling in all the sections of the submission form (metadata, university or institution, ORCID...) and in Word format.

The authors —and not Arte Nuevo’s editor— are responsible to follow these guidelines, partially based on APA's references.

 

1. TITLE AND AUTHORSHIP

The documents will have a title (Times New Roman 14, centered), and will not include the author’s name or any other reference that could identify him/her (institutional affiliation, e-mail, research projects, dedications, etc.). We recommend not to include any quotations before the beginning of the article.

 

2. BODY

We do not have a character limit, but we recommend a moderate length: around 15-20 pages.

Texts will be written in Times New Roman 12, with single spacing, and justified.

Margins will have 2.5 cm., and tabs, at the beginning of every paragraph, 1.25 (one tab space).

We use dashes (—these—).

Pages will be numbered at the foot, centered, in Times New Roman 8.

 

3. BIBLIOGRAPHY CITED IN THE TEXT

a) Quotations

If quotations are shorter than four lines, they will be included in the text, in the same format as the rest, but within angular quotation marks («»), which will be used by preference along the article.

• Estos poemas destacan por «la brillantez y perfección formal, sin duda, pero sobre todo [por] la pasión que los» anima hasta el punto de que en ellos «oímos directamente la voz de Belardo, trémula de deseo» (Montesinos, 1967: 140).

Any intervention in the text cited will be indicated with brackets, as in the example above. If the author eliminates words from the text, the intervention can be indicated using the ellipsis mark, within brackets: [...].

If there is a quotation within the quotation, we can use double quotation marks (“”), and, if there were to be a third quotation within, simple quotation marks (‘’). Moreover, simple quotation marks can be used for clarifications or definitions.

If we quote a text longer than four lines, we can move it two tabs to the right, separated by empty lines from the text preceding and following. The quoted text will, in this case, not need angular quotation marks, since the displacement already indicates it is a quotation. It will be in Times New Roman 11.

b) Parenthetical References to Secondary Bibliography

Authors must provide the bibliographical information in abbreviated form and in parenthesis, and never in a footnote ad hoc. The parenthesis will contain the following information: (Author’s surname, year: pages).

The pages will only be specified when needed (example: Pedraza Jiménez, 2001: 111-142). It will be unnecessary to indicate any page numbers if the reference is to the complete work, and not to specific pages within it él (example: Alonso Hernández, 1976).

If the author’s name is implicit from the context, we do not need to include it again in the parenthetical reference:

• Como recuerda Pedraza Jiménez, siempre han sido populares las «referencias en clave a amores y amoríos, fervores y desdenes, gustos y disgustos de la actividad erotica» (2003: 23).

c) Several Entries in a Year

When an author has two or more entries from the same year, and in order to avoid ambiguity, we will use lowercase letters after the year in question: 2010a, 2010b, 2010c, etc. The letter will appear both within the parenthesis as in the list of works.

• (Ruiz Pérez, 2010a: 75) = Ruiz Pérez, Pedro, El parnaso versificado: la construcción de la república de los poetas en el Siglo de Oro, Madrid, Abada, 2010a.
• (Ruiz Pérez, 2010b: 115) = Ruiz Pérez, Pedro, El siglo del arte nuevo, 1598-1691, Barcelona, Crítica, 2010b.

d) Electronic Publications without Pagination

In electronic publications without any pagination, we can indicate the author’s surname and the year (Pazó Espinosa, 2013).

e) References to a Dictionary

If we quote a definition from a dictionary, we will refer to the dictionary (in italics) plus the abbreviation s. v. (sub voce), plus the word in question.

• El diccionario académico señala en su primera acepción que el cazabe «es una planta alimenticia» (DRAE, s. v. cazabe).Here, DRAE is the abbreviation for the Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, abbreviation which must be included in the list of works cited (vide infra).

 

4. USE OF FOOTNOTES

Footnotes shall not be used for providing bibliographical information, but, rather, to host any comments that may be considered necessary, but digressive, as is the usual practice with footnotes.

 

5. LIST OF WORKS CITED

At the end of the article, and in a separate page, we will include a list of Works Cited, with that title. This section shall not be a complete list of all bibliography consulted, but exclusively a list of works cited or mentioned in the work. The list shall gather, in alphabetical order—by the author’s surnames, or by the title of the work, if the work is anonymous—, all information contained in the article, so that the bibliographical data for the works cited appear complete in the work. If we use any abbreviations (Aut., for Diccionario de Autoridades, for example), we will include it in the list, where it belongs alphabetically, as a normal entry, and then we will provide the bibliographical information, with the complete data. We shall not differentiate between primary and secondary bibliography.

g) Abbreviated Entries

If a work is very often quoted in the article, and its title is considered long, it can be abbreviated, as we indicate above, but we can also recur to more drastic abbreviations. In this case, it would be convenient if the abbreviations chosen were common. In any event, they have to appear with their own entry in the list of Works Cited.

• El sayal del pastor Belardo contrasta con el noble brocado de los Girón. Sayal: «tela muy basta labrada de lana burda» (Aut., s. v. sayal). Brocado: «la labor de las telas ricas de oro» (Tesoro, s. v. brocado).

Examples of abbreviated entries in the list of Works Cited:

• Cov. Véase Covarrubias Horozco.
• DRAE. Véase Real Academia Española.

h) Electronic Resources

We will treat them as if they were paper publications. Thus, if we quote a page or a complete resource, we will cite by author’s surnames, name, title in italics, web address (if any), and date of consultation. If the resource is not web based, but other kind, we can specify it.

j) Complex Editorial Information
