*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

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.

  • Translations must have permission from the author or publisher of the original work.
