You can consult the following guide for correct citation in the APA 7th edition system: citations and references.
*If a canonical citation is used, it is recommended to:
• Either place the canonical citation in the space where the pages would go:
Citation: “All men by nature desire to know.” (Aristotle, 1998, Met. 980a)
Reference: Aristotle. (1998). Metaphysics (V. García Yebra, Trans.). Gredos
• Or place the abbreviation of the work or author in the references between the author and the year:
Citation: “All men by nature desire to know.” (Met. 980a)
Reference: Aristotle. [Met] (1998). Metaphysics (V. García Yebra, Trans.). Gredos
Guidelines for Other Documents (Reviews, Translations, Interviews)
In general, the specifications are the same as for articles, with some exceptions:
• The length of reviews is 2 to 5 pages.
• It is not necessary to have the title in two languages.
• The title of the reviews is the bibliographic reference of the reviewed work.
• Abstract and keywords are not required (if the platform requires these fields to be filled in during submission, it is recommended to use the first paragraph of the text for the abstract and use "review," "translation," or "interview" for the keywords).
• Translations must have permission from the author or publisher of the original work.
These are exclusive criteria for the acceptance of documents:
• The author of the article is not affiliated with an institution as a researcher or teacher (due to indexing policies of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation).
• The author does not have a postgraduate degree.
• The topic does not correspond to the scientific disciplinary field of the journal's editorial focus.

• The document has been previously published, either partially or entirely.
• Articles lack philosophical research or reflection.
• The document does not comply with the intellectual property clause.
• Articles that, after making the respective corrections, still present problems in their content (errors in argumentative structure and syntax errors) may be rejected.
