Submissions

Author Guidelines

Cuadernos para la Investigación de la Literatura Hispánica (CILH) has been published regularly once a yesr since 1978, although it may exceptionally publish two numbers a year. The language of the magazine is Spanish. Articles in other languages ​​will be accepted with the approval of the Editorial Board. The articles must be original and unpublished and not be approved for publication in another journal. To ensure the highest quality of the journal, the articles are examined by the iThenticate anti-plagiarism tool. The author's personal data will not appear in the article or in the footnotes to ensure subsequent blind review. The system will ask for your identification data in "Step 3" of "Submission". CILH is open to publishing those scientific papers that undergo an initial review by the Editorial Board of the journal, which, if approved, will proceed to send them to the evaluators to carry out an external, blind and anonymous peer review. CILH will send the authors the editorial decision, which will state the acceptance or rejection of the submitted original, the reasons for said decision and, if any, the modifications suggested by the evaluators.

Author Guidelines 

1. The works will be sent through the OJS platform of the journal in computer support (Word). To do this you must register first.

2. When you go to upload your manuscript, we recommend that you take into account that, in "Step 3. Entering the submission metadata", you will be asked for your identification and some information about your text: click "Spanish" to enter them in that language and then "English", when you have to do it in this other language. It will ask you to enter your name, surname, email address, your affiliation, address of your institution, academic category and ORCID (if you do not have it, it is free and you just have to register at https://orcid.org/register). If the article is written by two or more collaborators, they must choose the order in which they want to do it and add their corresponding ORCID.

Then, you must enter the title of the article in Spanish and English and the two abstracts in Spanish and English of about 1,000 characters each. You will also be asked for the Pᴀʟᴀʙʀᴀs ᴄʟᴀᴠᴇ and Kᴇʏ ᴡᴏʀᴅs. They must be a maximum of five words that you will enter in the box by pressing "Enter" after each one (otherwise, the system would interpret them as one). Likewise, it will ask you for the bibliography of your article in the box that the system calls "Citations": simply copy the list of your manuscript in Word and make these small modifications: separate each reference with a blank line, so that each reference occupies a line, and remove italics or other styles (which are lost when text is pasted). In this box, each reference must have the name and surname of the author even if it is repeated (delete the em dash). Leave only the list of references, without the possible classifications that you may have made in the manuscript (for example, if you have distinguished between primary sources, secondary sources or files consulted). Also do not put HTML tags <br>, <br/>, <br />, <p>.

3. ARTICLES: may have a maximum length of 40,000 to 75,000 characters (spaces included), with 1,5 lines spacing, and reviews of 5,000 and 10,000 characters maximum (spaces included).

4. The document's margin layout will be the one that, by default, appears in the configuration of a Word document in Normal mode: 2.5 cm. in upper and lower margins; 3 cm on the right and left margins.

5. All contributions must conform to the following format: Garamond font size 12 will be used for normal text, size 11 for quotes of more than three lines and size 10 for footnotes. The text must be duly justified, including footnotes that, in any case, will be used to clarify or complement, never for bibliographic references. 

6. Heading: The title of the article will be centered and heading the work in capital letters and small caps, in Garamond 14 and without quotation marks. We remind you that you should not enter your name or data that can identify you here. After the title, you must enter the two summaries in Spanish and English of about 1,000 characters each, preceded by the word Rᴇsᴜᴍᴇɴ and Aʙsᴛʀᴀᴄᴛ, in small caps, followed by a colon. You will also be asked for the Pᴀʟᴀʙʀᴀs ᴄʟᴀᴠᴇ and Kᴇʏ ᴡᴏʀᴅs. They must be a maximum of five words separated by semicolons. In the event that the article is written by two or more collaborators, a footnote must specify the specific contribution of each of them. In order to maintain anonymity until the final acceptance of the manuscript, and after incorporating the possible suggestions of the evaluators, the names of the authors must be hidden in the submitted manuscript under one or more "X". These "X" will be replaced by the names of the authors in the final version. Likewise, also in this header and in a footnote next to the title, it must be indicated if the article is derived from a research project or funded stay, as well as the reference data with which to identify it.

7. The epigraphs of sections in which the article is organized will be in the same font size, in small caps and aligned on the right margin of the page. 

8. The quotation marks that will be used will be Spanish or Latin («...»). The English (“…”) are reserved for cases in which they must be used within the first quotation mark.

When a phrase or word needs to be highlighted or is in a language other than Spanish, it will be placed in italics. 

9. Citation method: Bibliographical citations will follow the following criteria: a) When the reference is general, the author's surname(s) will be cited followed by the year, without a separating comma and between brackets, eg: «Valbuena Briones [1980] conjetura que una de estas comedias tempranas podría ser la obra titulada Origen, pérdida y restauración de la Virgen del Sagrario, de asunto devoto». b) When you want to state the number of pages, this will be indicated after the year and a colon without any abbreviation in front and between brackets, eg: Sobre los mecanismos de la comedia de capa y espada existen dos trabajos fundamentales: Serralta [1987: 22-53] y Arellano [1988: 34- 40]».

10. Verbatim quotations: When three or more lines of another text are transcribed, they will be reproduced in a separate paragraph with an indent of 0,5 cm, without quotation marks and without indenting the first line. They will be distinguished from the main body by the line spacing and smaller font size: a single space and Garamond 11.
