Guidelines for Submission and Editorial Policies
(Disposición UNM-DEYA Nº 48/2018)
General Guidelines
Articles must be submitted and sent to the journal's email (repyd@unm.edu.ar) in two versions. One version of the article should include a cover page with the title of the work, the names and institutional affiliations of the authors, and their postal and email addresses. In the second version, only the title should be indicated, excluding personal data that may reveal the authors' identities, in preparation for the evaluation process.
Additionally, the cover pages of both versions must include an abstract in Spanish and English of no more than 150 words, keywords (in both Spanish and English) that reflect the content of the article, and the relevant Journal of Economic Literature classification number (JEL Code).
The names of the authors and/or their institutions must not appear in the body of the article in either version.
Texts
- The paper must include an introduction clearly stating the objective, hypothesis or central argument, methodology used, background of the research, and a description of the organizational structure of the article. The manuscript must be submitted in MSWord format, A4 size, with Times New Roman font, size 12, 1.5 line spacing, a 2.5 cm margin for the top and bottom, and 3 cm for the left and right margins. The total length of the document (research papers, popular science articles, or graduate theses) should not exceed 35 pages (including the title page, graphs, tables, bibliography, etc.). Book reviews should have a maximum length of 10 pages.
Do not include spacing before and after each paragraph. Footnotes must be in Times New Roman, size 9, single-spaced.
Use capital letters at the beginning of the sentence and lowercase letters for the rest of the sentence, including titles, subtitles, and other paratexts. - Distinguish the hierarchy of headings in relation to the text, indicating divisions and subdivisions with numerical classes (e.g., I, II, III, IV... and I.1, II.1, etc.). The bibliography should not be numbered.
- Do not use headings or footers with author and title data. Do not use special formatting effects, capital letters, etc. Justify the text. Indentations: only apply to the first line of paragraphs. End the paragraph with the manual return key. Avoid using “tabs” by emulating them with the spacebar.
- Tables and graphs should be presented in grayscale. If there are tables or graphs, they should be submitted in their original program files in a separate document. That is, they should be “embedded” in the Word document only to show their location, as they will be edited from the original program file (Excel or any other program used to create them).
Graphs and/or tables included in the text must indicate their source. Titles, notes, and sources of material should be presented as part of the text of the document, not within the body of the graph, figure, or table. These do not end with a period, and their font should be Times New Roman, size 9, italics.
Graphs, figures, or tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals. The letters and other elements in the graphs and tables must be large enough to remain legible when reduced to fit the printed page of the journal. The software and formats used for the text and graphic files must be identified. - Italics in the body of the document should be used only for foreign words. If authors wish to highlight a concept, phrase, word, or expression in another language, it should be done with quotation marks, but not in bold and avoid underlining.
- Short direct quotes (four lines or fewer) may be included in the text, using quotation marks to indicate the citation. At the end of the citation, the page number(s) of the original text should be indicated in parentheses.
Longer direct quotes (more than four lines) should be presented in a separate paragraph, with a 2.5 cm left margin and one line of space between the main text and the start and end of the quote.
Citations in the text should follow the APA (American Psychological Association) style. In-text references should be made in parentheses, indicating the author’s last name(s), followed by a comma and year. For example: (Gandolfo, 1994) or (Titelman & Pérez Caldentey, 2015). For three or more authors, all of them should be cited the first time the work is referenced. After that, only the first author’s last name should be used, followed by "et al." For example: (Cesaratto, Serrano, F., & Stirati, 2003), and later (Cesaratto et al., 2003). To indicate the page number, add “,” and "p." for a single page and “pp.” for a range of pages.
References
The in-text citation references must follow the guidelines established by the APA style (American Psychological Association).
* The list of references should correspond to the citations within the document.
* References at the end of the paper should be arranged alphabetically by the last name of the first author.
* If the first author is the same, but the second author is different, citations should be ordered based on the last name of the second author.
* If the same author or authors appear multiple times, the citation should be ordered based on the year of publication (starting with the oldest and ending with the most recent).
* If the same author has multiple works published in the same year, a lowercase letter (a, b, c) should be added immediately after the year of publication to differentiate them.
For articles in academic journals:
* Last name(s) of the author(s), initials of the author(s) (authors separated by “.,” when more than two, and/or “., and” as appropriate).
* Year of publication in parentheses.
* Title of the article.
* Name of the journal in italics.
* Volume number in italics (the issue number may also be included in parentheses).
* Pages on which the article appears.

For working papers:
The format is similar to that of books. If it comes from a recognized series, include the series title and number in parentheses after the title.

Note on DOI
The DOI is the Digital Object Identifier. It is a unique number assigned to scientific articles, e-books, or other documents published on the internet. The new APA format requires, when available, the use of the DOI. Example:
Valdecantos, S., & Zezza, G. (2015). Reforming the international monetary system: a stock-flow-consistent approach. Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, 38(2), 167-191. https://doi.org/10.1080/01603477.2015.1065679
Other suggestions for writing:
* Use of Capital Letters:
Use capital letters for proper names, brands, subjects or courses, degrees, institutions, titles, awards, event names, etc. Abbreviations should be in uppercase when they are less than 4 letters long and in mixed case (uppercase and lowercase) when they are 5 or more letters long. The first time an abbreviation is mentioned, its meaning should be explained. Example: ONU, UNICEF. Use capital letters when referring to the name of a law. Example: Public Service Ethics Act. Titles and institutions should be in uppercase. Example: Minister XXX / Ministry of Justice, Security, and Human Rights. Terms such as "province", "city", "municipality", and similar terms should be in lowercase, except when they are part of an institution's name. Example: in the province of Buenos Aires... / Police of the Province of Buenos Aires. Months and days of the week should be in lowercase.
* Style:
Use "the 90s" (without an apostrophe) or "the 1990s," and "the decade of the nineties" (or "the nineties"). The abbreviation for page is "p." (p. 54) and for pages is "pp." (pp. 54-58). The decimal separator should be a comma for decimal parts, according to international standards. Laws are written without separating periods, for example, Law 25188.
* Use of Superscripts for Footnotes:
Place the number after the period. Example: “…among other problems.¹”
