Author Guidelines

The articles published in the journal Perspectiva Rurales must be original works and unpublished.

The MS Word file should have all margins set to 3.0 cm, in letter size. Pages should be consecutively numbered, with Times Roman 12 font and one-and-a-half line spacing, without indentation. Articles should be between 3,500 and 8,000 words long, including titles, abstracts, keywords, citations and bibliography, tables, figure captions, and photographs.

Regarding structure, the trilingual abstract, consisting of 150 to 200 words per language (Spanish, English, and Portuguese), should be placed after the title and accompanied by five keywords in Spanish, English, and Portuguese according to the thesauri of the OECD, UNESCO, ILO CABI Thesaurus, Thesauro UNBIS, NALT (National Agricultural Library Thesaurus) or AGROVOC Multilingual Thesaurus. The title should be short, no more than 15 words. Sections (subtitles) of the text should not be numbered in any way. Footnotes should be used restrictively, only to clarify elements that, due to confusion, cannot be clarified within the text itself. The bibliography should be placed at the end.

The guidelines for the preparation of bibliographic references are based on the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), with some examples provided as a basis for article presentation.

Bibliographic citations should include the last name, year, and page (example: Hernández, 2009, p. 40; Hernández, 2009, pp. 40-43) when quoting directly, and only the last name and year when paraphrasing (Hernández, 2009). When quoting directly, only quotation marks are used to differentiate the selected text.

The bibliography, ordered alphabetically, should include the last name, first name, year, title, publisher, and place (for example: Hernández, J. 2009. Best Practices in Qualitative Research. Editorial del Norte. San José, Costa Rica.). For journals, newspaper articles, or web pages, include the last name, first name, year, title, journal, newspaper, or website (for example: Hernández, J. 2009. Best Practices in Qualitative Research. Perspectivas Rurales 18 (2), 15-25).

Bold should only be used for titles and subtitles or for a word with a special condition. Italics are not accepted, except for Latin phrases. Underlined words are not accepted either.

Tables, figures, and photographs must be of sufficient quality, in black and white. To differentiate parts or variables in tables or figures, line patterns should be used if there are more than two bars or parts.

The author or authors signing the article are responsible for its content. They should be identified with their name, workplace, and email address.
