LL Journal publishes works in Spanish, Portuguese and English. The editorial team may also consider publishing works in other languages. Documents will be accepted in Rich Text Format (*.rtf) o Microsoft Word (* .doc). We propose a limit of 7500 words for each article (body and notes, without the abstract and the bibliography) or literary text. The guidelines for the submission of papers are explained below in detail. Some of these guidelines have the goal of facilitating the work of the editorial team and were created taking into account that the document is destined for an electronic publication. The order of presentation will be:

 

1. HEADING. Title Summary (abstract)

 

2. BODY OF THE ARTICLE. The document should be in 12 point Times New Roman or Arial font, single spaced, with tabbed paragraphs and a space between paragraphs. Quotes and bibliographical references in the text: The quotes should be an indented paragraph with 10 point font. To indicate a source of an idea mentioned in the text:
3. a) In the event that only one work by an author appears in the BIBLIOGRAPHY section, the reference will be signaled by putting in parentheses, the author’s last name, a space (without a comma) and the number of the corresponding page.

Ex.: (Saraiva 53)

1. b) In the event that more than one work by an author appears in the BIBLIOGRAPHY section, the reference will be signaled by placing in parentheses the author’s last name, followed by a comma, the abbreviated title of the article, a space (without a comma) and the number of the corresponding page.

Ex.: (Saraiva, O discurso 42) c) If in the body of the text the author has been indicated clearly, then including the page number in parentheses will suffice. Ex.: (67)

 

3. NOTES. The notes should appear at the end of the document and not at the foot of the page.

 

4. BIBLIOGRAPHY. The list of works cited should appear after the text and the notes. The bibliographical entries should follow the following format:

Books: Last name, First Name. Title. Publisher, Year of publication.

Articles in journals: Last name, First Name. “Title of the article.” Title of the journal (italics), volume of the journal, number of the journal, year of publication, page number.
