Structure and guidelines for proposals

Notice: Publishing criteria have been adopted from the journal Convergencia. Revista de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México. It does not exist any publishing arrangement with the papers selected for this conference in liaison with the aforementioned journal. Its publishing criteria have been adopted due to its clarity and rigour to guaratee a quality publication of our «libro del congreso» (Congress Proceedings), although there is no connection between these and other publications.

1. The paper should be typed on a A4 size paper, 1.5 line spacing, Times New Roman, size 12.
2. It must include: introduction, methodology, results, discussion and conclussions.
3. It must have a descriptive title in the vehicular language and in English, preferably a brief title (no more than 12 words) that show clearly the contents of the paper.
4. A 100/150-words abstract with 5 keywords. These two sections must be written in the original or vehicular language and in English.
5. Titles and subtitles should be clearly differentiated; in order to do so, it is highly recommended the use of the decimal system.
6. For the printed version of the text, illustrations (maps, tables, charts and graphs) will be strictly necessary and they must be self-explanatory (no need to check the text to understand them). They all must be placed at the end of each paragraph (the one whose illustration makes reference to). It should be clearly specified that illustrations are placed at the very end of each text. It is paramount that each illustration is sent (along with the text) in a separate file.
7. Images should be included in jpg format with no highlighting or texture.
8. Make sure authorship is clearly stated and that no copyright is infringed.

11. There are no restrictions in the digital version when it comes to attaching any coloured  illustration or another audiovisual material.
