GUIDELINES FOR CONTRIBUTORS

We welcome the submission of academic articles in Spanish or English on any

aspect related to Cuba, provided that they adhere to the aims and scope of the

journal.

Articles should be original and not under consideration by any other publication.

Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission to publish, in both

print and electronic media, material for which they do not hold the copyright.

Length

Articles must be at least 3,500 words in length, up to a maximum of 10,000.

Language

The IJCS publishes articles in both English and Spanish. However, where pos-

sible we ask that contributors write in English. Abstracts in both Spanish and

English for all articles are welcome and will be used when provided.

Style

The journal aims for rigour and relevance. We wish to encourage a wide

readership and to facilitate connections between academic disciplines. We

are therefore interested in innovative articles that are written in a clear,

accessible style with objective arguments that are evidence-based. Without

compromising on academic rigour, contributors are requested to limit the

use of specialised terminology to the essential. For the submission, please use

the Harvard system of referencing and please employ footnotes for clarifica-

tion and emendation only. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively and

kept to a minimum in number and length. Bibliographical references should

be checked for accuracy. Style guides can be found at: www.plutojournals.

those containing only tables and figures, should be numbered consecutively. A

clear legible font should be used.
