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

All Spanish language articles will be published in English. Because the IJCS used

to operate on an open access basis, editorial resources are limited at present and

we are able to translate only one article per issue. Contributors should provide,

where possible, an English translation of their articles.

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 employ

endnotes rather than footnotes. Endnotes 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.pluto-

journals.com/ijcs/

Format

Contributions should be formatted as A4 Microsoft Word files (Mac files must

be converted), double-spaced and with ample margins. All pages, including

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

clear legible font should be used.
