Images and graphics

The journal accepts the inclusion of visual materials and tables in manuscripts, differentiating their function and editorial treatment according to whether they are Images (illustrative), Figures (analytical), or Tables (analytical). This distinction allows for clarity for authors, reviewers, and editors.

1. Images

Images are visual resources that accompany or enrich the manuscript, without forming part of the academic analysis.

They do not follow APA 7.

Requirements:

  • Location: immediately after the paragraph where it is first cited.
  • Numbering: Arabic numerals (Image 1, Image 2, etc.).
  • Title: brief and descriptive (maximum 8 words).
  • Source: below the image (Personal file, Public domain, Courtesy of X, etc.).
  • Additional file: send each image separately in TIFF or JPG format, without compression.
  • Minimum resolution: 300 dpi.

Note: If the image has an analytical function, it should be treated as a Figure according to APA 7.

Supplementary images

These are sent as separate files to illustrate the text, without being inserted into the analysis.

Requirements:

    *  Format: Send each image as a separate TIFF or JPG file, 300 dpi.

    *  Attach a Word file with a brief description of each image and its thematic relevance.

   *  Numbering: Image 1, Image 2..

Artistic proposals to illustrate the issue

For each call for submissions, up to 10 artistic images related to the theme of the issue may be submitted.

Requirements:

  • Word file with a general description of the proposal, conceptual relationship to the theme of the issue, and technical details for each image (numbering, title, source, and brief description).
  • Each image must be submitted separately in PNG, JPG, or TIFF format, 300 dpi.
  • They must be original or have authorization for use.
  • The Editorial Committee will select the images that will accompany the edition.

 

2. Figures (APA 7, analytical function)

Figures include photographs, graphs, maps, diagrams, or other visual representations used as evidence or part of academic analysis.

Requirements:

  • Location: immediately after the paragraph where they are first mentioned.
  • Use: only when necessary for the clarity of the manuscript.
  • Numbering: Roman numerals (Figure I, Figure II, etc.).
  • Title: brief and descriptive, placed above the figure.
