- GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS. EDITORIAL POLICY
Culture, Language and Representation is a biannual scientific-academic publication devoted to research in the area of cultural and linguistic studies. Each issue addresses a spectrum of cultural representations in their diverse linguistic manifestations (social, political, educational, artistic, historical, and others), placing a particular emphasis on innovative approaches.
Culture, Language and Representation aims to the spreading of relevant proposals for the international scientific community within the discipline of cultural and linguistic studies, for which it expresses its commitment to the publication of original contributions and high scientific content, following the global parameters of humanistic research.
Acceptance of articles for publication will be conditioned to the positive assessment of at least two external blind referees. The presentation of work for its evaluation implies that the material is not previously published and that it is not in the evaluation phase for another publication.
If an article already published in Culture, Language and Representation is to appear in another medium, it must mention Culture, Language and Representation as the original place of publication. For any questions about this matter, it is recommended to consult the publishing service at Universitat Jaume I.
- MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
Contributions will be made electronically in WORD or RTF document.

Headings must have the following format:
- HEADING IN BOLD CAPITALIZED
1.1 SUBHEADING IN SMALL CAPITALS
1.1.1 Smaller subheading in italics
italics and bold type
The use of italics should be restricted, mainly to foreign words and expressions, and to highlighted terms. Likewise, titles of books and periodical publications (journals, newspapers, etc.) must appear in italics.
Bold type should only be used in titles or section headings, but not within the main body of the text. Similarly, the use of underlining should be avoided throughout the text.
Hyphens (-) and dashes (–)
Hyphens (-) should be used in compound expressions.
A close-up en dash (–) should be used to indicate page ranges in bibliographical references and as a substitute for brackets, in which case they should be preceded and followed by a space.
Notes
References to notes should be inserted in the body of the text using the function provided for this purpose in the word processor. They should be superscript Arabic numerals, placed after any punctuation marks.
-For notes, the Times New Roman type size 8 will be used. In no case will footnotes be used to accommodate bibliographic citations.
- QUOTATIONS
Quoted fragments should be included in the main text and set between double quotation marks (" "). When quotation marks are required within quotation marks, the former should be single quotation marks: " ' ' ", if the quoted text does not exceed four lines.
Longer quotations (more than four lines) should be placed in a separate paragraph, without quotation marks or italics, but indented 1,25cm and with a smaller font size; alternatively, the passage should be marked as a quotation. For quotations of four lines or higher, the text should be indented 1.25 cm, with no line separation from the previous paragraph, and a line separated from the next paragraph.
- The system of abbreviated quotations will be used, incorporated in the body of the text, using the following format: Marqués (2016a: 32); (Solà, 2008: 115).
- References to more than one author within a parenthesis must be separated by a semicolon and ordered chronologically.
Omissions should be indicated by ellipses between square brackets: […].
Likewise, square brackets should also be used to mark any digressions or additions by the author who quotes: “The only empirical evidence found by researchers [before the 1950s] is that included in ...”. Likewise, the author's comments within a quotation will be enclosed in square brackets.
Direct quotes in the text must be followed by their abbreviated bibliographical reference. References to longer quotations in a separate paragraph, however, should be placed before rather than after it so that they cannot be interpreted as being part of the quotation.
- REFERENCES
The list of full references must appear at the end of the work, ordered alphabetically, and adjusted to the following criteria APA 7.ª Edition; first names are not abbreviated:
If the DOI is too long, you may use the DOI abbreviation (make sure that it works).
