Submissions

Author Guidelines

Manuscripts must be sent exclusively by OJS 3, which is implemented in the "SUBMISSIONS" section. All authors must register, with their credits, on the OJS platform, although only one will be responsible for correspondence. No author may send or have two manuscripts under review simultaneously, estimating a lack of three consecutive numbers.

Papers will be presented in a Times New Roman 12 font, single spacing, full justification and without tabs or carriage returns between paragraphs. Only the large blocks (author, title, abstracts, descriptors, credits and headings) are separated with a return. The page must be two cms. on all margins. Papers are presented in Word for PC. The file must be anonymized in File Properties so that the identification of the authors does not appear.

The publication standards are based on APA 7.

• Structure

Two files must be sent simultaneously: 1) Cover (according to the official model); 2) Manuscript, strictly following the instructions given below.

1. COVER LETTER
   

   DOWNLOAD OFFICAL TEMPLATE COVER.

   This file, signed by the authors, includes:

• Full name and surname of each of the authors in order of priority (the number must be justified by the subject, its complexity and its length, with the average of the area being three authors). In the case of more than three authors, it is prescriptive to substantively justify the original contribution of the team, since it will be taken into account in the estimation of the manuscript. Along with the names, the professional category, workplace, email of each author and ORCID number must be followed. It is mandatory to indicate if you have the academic degree of doctor (include Dr./Dra. In front of the name). The academic signature (name) must be standardized in accordance with international conventions to facilitate identification in the main databases. It is mandatory to register in the International Registry of Researchers (ORCID) (http://orcid.org).

In addition, it includes a statement of:

• Be an original contribution.
• Financing statement.
• Not sent, during the evaluation and publication process to other journals.
• Confirmation of the signing authorship.
• Acceptance, if applicable, of formal changes in the manuscript in accordance with the rules.
• Partial transfer of rights to the Editorial

2. MANUSCRIPT

This file will contain:

• Title of the article (concise but informative), in Spanish first line and then in English, consisting of as many significant terms as possible. A maximum of two lines are accepted (maximum 80 characters with spaces). They are not only the responsibility of the authors but also of the editors. Therefore, if they do not correctly capture the meaning of the work, it may be modified..
• Summary in Spanish of 220/230 words, where the reason and objective of the research, the methodology used, the most outstanding results and main conclusions will be concisely described, with the following structure: justification of the topic, objectives, study methodology , Results and conclusions. It must be written in an impersonal way: «This work is analyzed ...».
• Abstract in English of 200/210 words. For its preparation, as for the title and keywords, the use of automatic translators is not allowed due to their poor quality. The reviewers also analyze this factor when evaluating the work and our reviewers analyze the linguistic level and style if necessary.
• 6 keywords in Spanish / 6 Keywords in English. "Ihering" has a Thesaurus in Spanish of descriptors (keywords) with the simple terms most used in the themes of the journal. The use of these descriptors and the UNESCO Thesaurus is recommended. Only in exceptional cases are new terms accepted. Terms must be in standardized scientific English / Spanish.

Note: In the case of works for the "Research" section, the manuscripts will strictly respect the structure that is presented below, the Notes and Supports epigraphs being optional. In the sections "Reports", "Studies", "Proposals" and "Reviews" sections 2, 3 and 4 are also flexible. The inclusion of References in all works is mandatory.

1. Introduction and state of the question: It must include the rationale and purpose of the study, using bibliographic citations, as well as the most significant literature review on the subject at a national and international level.
2. Material and methods: It will be presented with the precision that is convenient for the reader to understand and confirm the development of the research. Where appropriate, the sample and the sampling strategies will be described, as well as the type of statistical analysis used. If it is an original methodology, it is necessary to state the reasons that have led to its use and describe its possible limitationss.
3. Analysis and results: An attempt will be made to highlight the most important observations, describing, without making value judgments, the material and methods used, as well as the most relevant results of the investigation. The results will be presented in figures or / and tables according to the rules of the journal (see other annotations). They will appear in a logical sequence in the text, tables or essential figures, avoiding data redundancy.
4. Discussion and conclusions: It will summarize the findings, relating the observations themselves with other studies of interest, pointing out contributions and limitations, without reiterating data already commented on in other sections. The inferences of the findings and their limitations should be mentioned, including the deductions for future research, as well as linking the conclusions with the objectives of the study, avoiding gratuitous statements and conclusions not fully supported by the data of the work.

Notes: These considered exceptional and will always go to the end of the article (collected before the references). They must be incorporated manually, since the automatic process of Word is not recognized by the layout systems. The numbers of the notes are placed in superscript both in the running text and in the final note, being placed in the text before the closing point or comma. Notes that collect simple bibliographic citations (without comments) are not allowed, since these must go in the references.

Funding Agency: TheCouncil of Science Editors advises authors to providea financial support statement for the research project. Research studies that are backed by competitive national and international projects will be considered a priority. In any case, this section, which is very important for the scientific assessmentof the manuscript, should be made anonymous with XXX for its initial evaluation, so that the authors and research groups are not identified.These, however, should be clearly stated on the Cover letter, and later on the final manuscript.

References:Bibliographic citations must be included as references to the text. The bibliography should  not  include  any  references  not  cited  in  the  text.  The  number  of  references  must  be sufficient and necessary for contextualizing the theoretical framework, the methodology used and  the  results  of  research  in  an  international research context. These are  to  be presented alphabetically by the author’s first surname(adding  the  second  surname  only  when  the  first surname  is very  common and  attached  with a  hyphen).  Bibliographic  citations must  be  taken from  the  original  documents –preferably journals  and, to  a  lesser  extent, books–always indicating  the  initial  and  final  page  of  the article  or  work from  which  they  have  been  taken, except for complete works.

Given the importance for indexing purposes of citations and calculations of impact factors, correct citation  will  be assessed in  accordance  with the APA style 7th edition,valuing  the inclusion not  only  of  national  but  also  international references from prestigious international journals(http://bit.ly/2JkuWs8).

"C.I.H." has a bibliographic collection. In this case, to maintain scientific coherence with the editorial line, the review of this literature is recommended. However, the saturation of citations of the authors and of this journal (self-citations) should be limited and carefully controlled. National and international journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), Scopus, REDIB, Dialnet Metrics, ERIH and FECYT are recommended.

4.3.Other annotations

The headings in the body of the article will be numbered in Arabic. They will go without a complete box of capital letters, neither underlined nor bold. The numbering must be a maximum of three levels: 1. / 1.1. / 1.1.1. At the end of each numbered heading, a line break will be established.

No text should be underlined. Nor, with the exception of acronyms, is the full box of capital letters used. Foreign words and titles of books and articles will be enclosed in quotation marks (the quotation marks used in the Spanish version are typographic («»); in the English version, English style quotation marks (““) will be used. To facilitate this operation, it is recommended to use the processor's finder / override. No terms will be italicized in the text, where applicable, only quotation marks will be used.

The citations of references will be made with correction, not admitting those that do not fit. As a general rule, according to APA regulations, the author cited in the text is included in the speech, and the year and the number of pages are indicated in parentheses, preceded by a colon, separated by a hyphen. If the author does not go in the speech, it goes inside the parentheses, preceding the year, followed by a comma and space. It is recommended to see examples in published articles. The use of reference managers such as RefWorks, Mendeley or EndNote is recommended, reviewing their results.

The bibliographic citation, both in the discursive thread and in the references, is essential that it responds to uniform and constant criteria. This aspect is key in a scientific journal. Inconsistencies or alterations of the established regulations are not accepted. Please respect the punctuation system: commas, periods, and semicolons.

You have to check the text with the word processor dictionary, since, although many erroneous terms are not detected, it solves some problems automatically. To avoid the general error of marking with two spaces between words, the Word search engine (replace) can be used, pointing to looking for double spaces to substitute for one.

Tables must be presented incorporated in the text in Word in order of appearance, numbered in Arabic and subtitled with the description of the content. They will be used to clarify important points and will not have an extension of more than one page vertically.

Figures, such as photographs and images, must clarify the text in a relevant way and their number will not exceed six between graphs and tables. They will be presented incorporated in the text, according to their order of appearance, numbered in Arabic and titled with an abbreviated description of their content. They must have printing quality, appearing within the text in .PNG format and in separate files in editable (modifiable) format. The originality of your graphic presentation with professional programs will be valued: awGraph (https://bit.ly/2SBkSOC), Plotly (https://bit.ly/2SE-VHKY), ChartGo (https://bit.ly/ 2qoRG0k); Online Chart Tool (https://bit.ly/2zpjA0g), etc. or other programs with 3D graphics.

Abbreviations, only universally accepted ones should be used (see: Units Symbols and Abbreviations). When trying to shorten a term frequently used in the text, the corresponding abbreviation, in parentheses, must be accompanied the first time it appears. Roman numerals will not be used in the text, the point to the right of zero and not the comma will be used for decimals.

Complementary material. When it is required to complement the manuscript with visual, audiovisual, statistical documents and annexed materials, extensive tables, complex color graphics ... which for reasons of format and size cannot be inserted in the articles, these documents will go as extraordinary files, and once accepted, they will be published in a prescriptive way and online, by the author, using the Figshare platform (http://figshare.com), collecting the appointment of the accommodation in the manuscript. This platform also offers a complementary free DOI.
