Author Guidelines

ARTICLES 

Pasavento welcomes contributions written in Spanish. The journal's interests cover different areas of written and audiovisual culture (prose fiction, poetry, theatre, cinema, graphic novel) created in Spain and Latin America since 1975. The editors of Pasavento will consider only original manuscripts not published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

If, after positive evaluation, the texts do not comply with the following guidelines, the manuscripts will be rejected for publication.

Every contribution will be sent in a digital format via the journal’s website. Authors have to register in order to send us their work.  During the registration it is essential to include the ORCID as well as the DOI number for bibliographic references. The authors must accept the referees’ recommendations and adapt their manuscripts to ortotypographic Pasavento rules.

If you have previously published one or more articles in the journal, at least two years must elapse between the last date of acceptance and the submission of a new proposal. Two papers from the same author will not be accepted at the same time.

Lenght and formatting

  • The maximum length of articles is 10.000 words, including abstracts, keywords, footnotes and bibliography.
  • Submissions will be sent via our website (authors have to register first) and will adhere to the following formatting guidelines:
    • Works will be sent as Microsoft Word files.
    • The font type is Times New Roman, font size 12.
    • Line spacing 1,5 cm; without blank lines left between paragraphs.
    • The first line should be indented by 1,25 cm.
    • Images are required to have a high-resolution (300dpi).

Initial page formatting

The initial page of the article should include only the following elements:

  • Title of the article in Spanish and English.
  • Summary, with an extension of 200-250 words in Spanish and English.
  • Between three and five keywords in Spanish and English.
     

Typographic rules 

Textual quotes of more than three lines should appear in a separate paragraph with special indentation. Each quoted reference should be integrated into the text in parentheses (author data: page). When citing more than one work by the same author, add a letter to the year (a, b, c…) both in textual quote and bibliography at the end of the document. If the quoted source has been written by two authors, both should be mentioned in parentheses joint by "y" conjunction.

If author has been quoted within the text, his or her name could be omitted, as the next examples show:

...como afirma Fernando Cabo, “en Memoria de la nieve encontramos, pues, el esfuerzo de la memoria por regresar al tiempo hundido” (1986: 280).

“En Memoria de la nieve encontramos, pues, el esfuerzo de la memoria por regresar al tiempo hundido” (Cabo 1986: 280).

At the end of the article, contributors should include a section of WORKS CITED including the name of the authors in alphabetical order, according to the next standards:

TWO OR MORE WORKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR 

In the final list of Works Cited the names and surnames of the authors should not be omitted, even if they are repeated in different citations.
