Bibliographic references

1. The use of footnotes to declare bibliographic references should be avoided. They should be abbreviated in the body of the text and include: author's surname(s); year in brackets. If page numbers are indicated, they should be in brackets, after the year and separated by a colon without spaces. If the volume number is required, it should precede the page number.

Examples:

Arellano [1990], Arellano [1990:45-67], Arellano [1990:45-46, 77 y 89], Arellano [1995:I, 344].

If the quote is enclosed in parentheses, brackets will not be used.

Examples:

(así lo entiende Arellano 1999:203).

2. When the bibliographic reference concerns the original work, and not the critical contribution of its editor, it should be cited by author and title (and, if necessary, verse numbers or, if there are none, page numbers).

Example:

Lope de Vega, El acero de Madrid, vv. 325-328 (in the bibliographic list: Vega Carpio, Lope de, El acero de Madrid, ed. S. Arata, Castalia, Madrid, 2000).

If both the primary work and the editor's study are cited in the body of the aricle, the final bibliography will include a full entry for the author and an abbreviated entry for the editor.

Example:

Arata, Stefano [2000]: véase Vega Carpio, Lope de, El acero de Madrid.

Vega Carpio, Lope de, El acero de Madrid, ed. S. Arata, Castalia, Madrid, 2000.

If both the primary work and the editor's study are cited in the body of the work, the final bibliography will include a full entry for the author and another for the editor.

Example:

Arata, Stefano, ed., Lope de Vega, El acero de Madrid, Castalia, Madrid, 2000.

Vega Carpio, Lope de, El acero de Madrid, ed. S. Arata, Castalia, Madrid, 2000.

3. In the case of a citation from a daily newspaper, the body of the work will include the author's surname, the year of publication (followed by a letter if there are more articles by the same author in the same year), a colon, and the cited page, according to the following model:

(Ramírez Tomé 1935:4).

In the final bibliography the entry will be registered as follows:

Ramírez Tomé, Alfredo, «Una obligación inexcusable», ABC (10 de abril de 1935), pp. 3-5.

In the event that the article appears without an author's name, the body of the work will include the abbreviated title of the work, the year of publication (without separating it from the title with a comma), followed by a colon and the cited page, according to the following example:

(«El tricentenario de Lope de Vega» 1935:37).

In the final bibliography:

«El tricentenario de Lope de Vega y Acción Española. Conferencia del padre Cayuela, de la Compañía de Jesús», ABC (10 de abril de 1935), p. 37.

The entry is lemmatized starting with the letter "t", since the use of the "Anonymous" tag will be avoided and the article is not considered for lemmatization.

4. Electronic Resources

A) Links to web pages are indicated as follows. Whenever possible, the hyperlink will be included:

Véase http://prolope.uab.cat/. Consulta del 8 de febrero de 2011.

B) Articles in electronic journals are cited in the same way as those in print, but including DOI number in the final bibliography:

Greetham [2006:103-115].

If no page number is indicated in the source, the citation will be limited to the author and year of publication:

Muñoz Medrano [2002].

C) Electronic texts and databases are cited by their primary author, if applicable, or by their title, if not.

Examples:

Ferrer Valls, Diccionario biográfico de actores, s. v.

N. B. In the event that the author of the cited text is different from the author of the volume in which it is included, the order of the elements will be as follows: Ussía, Alfonso, «Prólogo», en Pedro Muñoz Seca, La venganza de don Mendo, ed.

When the same scholar has two or more entries, they will be listed chronologically (from oldest to newest), and the author's surname and first name will be repeated in each entry. When a scholar has two or more entries with the same year, to avoid ambiguity, the lowercase letters of the alphabet will be used next to the date, in rounded letters: 1981a, 1981b, 1981c, etc.

Example:

Arata, Stefano, «Introducción» a Lope de Vega, El acero de Madrid, Madrid, Castalia, 2000a, pp. 7-58.

Arata, Stefano, «Il principe selvaggio: la corte e l'aldea nel teatro spagnolo del Siglo de Oro», en Teatri barocchi. Tragedie, commedie, pastorali nella drammaturgia europea tra '500 e '600, ed. S. Carandini, Bulzoni, Roma, 2000b, pp. 439-468.

In the case of more than one primary work by the same author, they are lemmatized by the author's surname, following the alphabetical order starting with the title of the work without taking into consideration the initial article, if there is any:

Vega Carpio, Lope de, El acero de Madrid, ed. S. Arata, Castalia, Madrid, 2000.

Vega Carpio, Lope de, La noche de San Juan, ed. A. Stoll, Reichenberger, Kassel, 1988.

If more editions of the same old work appear, they will be ordered chronologically, from oldest to most recent.

Vega Carpio, Lope de, Arte nuevo de hacer comedias, ed. E. García Santo-Tomás, Cátedra, Madrid, 2006.

Vega Carpio, Lope de, Arte nuevo de hacer comedias, ed. E. Rodríguez, Castalia, Madrid, 2011.

The abbreviation "VV. AA." should be avoided, as well as including acronyms instead of the full journal name. When there are more than one editor, and up to three editors, all of them should be referenced. If there are more than three, the first may be listed with abbreviated first name and surname, followed by et al. (in italics).

Example:

Antonucci, Fausta, «Organización y representación del espacio en la comedia urbana de Lope: unas calas», en El teatro del Siglo de Oro. Edición e interpretación, eds. A. Blecua, I. Arellano, G. Serés, Iberoamericana-Vervuert, Madrid-Frankfurt am Main, 2009.

Articles in electronic journals are referenced in the same way as any other electronic publications - as follows (the start and end page numbers of the article are specified only if they appear explicitly in the electronic source):

Abbreviations

Most common abbreviations, in round letters:

c. circa
Cfr./cfr. confront
Comp./comp. compare
coord. coordinator
dir. director
ed. / eds. editor /editors
f. / ff. folio / folios
n. / nn. note / notes

nr. near
p. / pp. page / pages
ss. next
trad. translation
v. / vv. verse / verses
vol. / vols. volume / volumes
estr. / estrs.  stanza/ stanzas

It is recommended to avoid the use of id. (idem), ibid. (ibidem), and similar terms. Abbreviations should be italicized:
et al., s. v.

It is also recommended to avoid the use of Latin expressions such as Vide supra or Vide infra.

In order to standardize criteria, the following form of reference to manuscript folios is recommended:
f. 1r, ff. 1r-2v.

In the case of printed books, wether they are paginated or foliated, the folio number (r or v) or page number is entered. Only if the printed book is neither paginated nor foliated, the booklet signature is used.

Example:
Aa[4]v, indicating the back of the fourth sheet of a booklet (Aa) lacking pagination.

Typographic Norms

For quotations, Spanish quotation marks (« ») will be used. When a text is cited within another text, the quotation will be enclosed in general quotation marks (“ ”). If a third text included in the second quotation needs to be cited, it will be enclosed in single quotation marks (‘ ’). Quotation marks will also be used for emphasis ("Spanish-style" theater, for example). If a book title, which should be italicized, includes a phrase in another language or the title of another work, these will be enclosed in Spanish quotation marks.

Example:
Brisson, Luc y Pierre Chiron, eds., «Rhetorica Philosophans». Mélanges offerts à Michel Patillon, Vrin, París, 2010.

Quotations of more than four lines should be indented, without quotation marks, and in smaller font.

Subheadings or headings for each section should be in small capitals.

Example:
Lope reacciona

In Spanish, references to a specific century will also be in small capitals:

Example:
Esto pasa a comienzos del siglo xvii.

Likewise, whenever the name of a character is included in the text, small caps will be used:

Example:
«…o cuando se llama loca a Finea: “Finea ¿Murmuráis de mis cosas? / Otavio ¿Aquí estaba esta loca?”, vv. 1331-1332».

Ellipses should appear unspaced after the immediately preceding word. When ellipses indicate an editorial deletion, they should be indicated in brackets [...].

Example:
En un lugar de la Mancha [...] galgo corredor.

In Spanish, dashes for inserting parenthetical sentences will be long and separated by a space.

Example:
En esta frase —pongamos por caso— hay una contradicción.

To avoid confusion,in case of an alternation between two words or letters, the symbol / should be used, leaving spaces.

Example:
La alternancia l / ll es normal en español medieval en el verbo leuar / lleuar.

As for verse numbers, no point will be used to determine the thousands.

Example:
La comedia está compuesta por 3148 versos.

Spanish Accentuation

Regarding accentuation, demonstrative particles and the adverb "solo" will be accented only when graphic accent is necessary to avoid ambiguity. See: http://lema.rae.es/dpd/,("Artículos temáticos" > "Acentuación" > "Acentuación gráfica u ortográfica: tilde").

Footnotes

The note reference within the text must be placed after a punctuation mark and, if possible, at the end of a sentence.

Page proofs

Once the two external reviewers have evaluated the article, their reports will be sent to the author, who will have the opportunity to make any necessary changes to address the reviewers' suggestions. This new version should be considered the final version, as only one proofreading will be carried out. Only those changes necessary to correct typos or errors will be allowed, but under no circumstances will they alter the typographical composition of the article.

Funding and acknowledgments

In the interest of promoting transparency and ethics in scientific research, we ask authors to clearly specify the funding sources that contributed to their work (funder's name and grant number). This information is essential for understanding potential biases and the adequacy of the resources used in the research.

We also ask that authors include acknowledgments to individuals, institutions, and organizations that provided support or made significant contributions to the study.
