IV. CITATION STANDARDS

The History Journal uses the citation style of the latest version of the Chicago-Deusto Manual. You can review a Brief Guide for citations and bibliographic references at the following link: http://www.deusto-publicaciones.es/deusto/pdfs/otraspub/otraspub07.pdf

First complete citation in notes

¹ María Angélica Illanes, «Ella en Lota-Coronel: Poder y domesticación. El primer servicio social industrial de América Latina», Mapocho, nº 49 (2001): 141-148.

V. STYLE AND WRITING

1. When deciding to use parentheses () or long dashes —, one must choose one or the other style throughout the work. Both styles should only be employed in the same text according to a fixed rule. Use long dashes — as seen here — for all side comments in the work and only use parentheses for chronological dates (1492), percentages (38%), or similar cases. Example: “It is important to consider — as the author indicates — that the approval percentage (31%) may be relative, considering the ideological bias of the surveying institution and the year in which the survey was conducted (1988).”
2. Cardinal numbers that refer to any subject should be written in words if they are between zero and nine, and in numbers when the figure is greater. Examples: “The three authors mentioned agree on this aspect. Additionally, as the figures indicate, of the 13 regions included in the yearbook, only five of these are mentioned in most of the literature.”
3. Numbers with three or more numerical characters should include points, not thousands. Ordinal numbers (first, second) should be written in words, except for centuries. Example: “From the year 3000 B.C. until approximately the mid-eighteenth century, the world population remained in constant equilibrium with respect to available resources. However, from 1800 onward, in the context of the industrial revolution, Europe experienced a demographic explosion of such magnitude that it surpassed the limits of Malthusian logic.”
4. Dates should be written as follows: September 11, 1973 (not 11.09.1973), 145 years, eighteenth century (not 18th century), in the mid-1920s (not in the mid-'20s), during the eighties (not during the eighties).
5. Write measurements without a period, with a space between the number and the abbreviation in the metric system. Examples: 45 km, 500 kg, 5 m, 83 cm. When the measurement is used for a non-quantitative reference, it should be written in words. Examples: “However, a few meters from the site of the events.”
6. Use italics for names that are not in the language of the article (example: “The Compañía Chilena de Nitratoindicate that…”). Gentilic or proper names should not be italicized even if they are not in the article's language (example: Mapuche, Aztec).
7. Proper names such as rivers, oceans, mountains, or regions should begin with capital letters. Example: Caribbean region, Amazon, Northern Grande, Eastern Europe, Central America.

VI. INTERVIEWS

The journal will accept interviews with intellectual figures from the historiographical field or other related disciplines, with a maximum length of 10 pages and following the previously stated style and citation format.
