2. Form and Preparation of the articles 

The work must have a maximum length of 20 pages and a minimum of 15 (including graphics, charts, citations and bibliography). The Editorial Committee may authorize works of more than 20 pages, only if it is pertinent.

Both the work and personal data must be consigned in Word format, in separate files. The sheets must be made with 3 centimeters of margin (left, right, top and bottom), Times New Roman font size 12, line spacing 1.5 (space and a half).

The work must be submitted without information from the author or authors. The data of the author or authors must be recorded in a separate file, including name and surname, academic degrees and institution, ranking (if the author/authors is/are university professor/professors), research experience in the subject of work, place of work, telephone number, fax or email, and ORCID code (mandatory). Indicate the institution that provided the financial support for carrying out the research and acknowledgments (Optional).

Additionally, send "Proof of Originality of the Article" signed by the main author. Model is attached.

Works with more than three authors will not be accepted.

The work must be original and unpublished. At the same time, sending it to the COMPENDIUM Magazine, implies the obligation of the author or authors not to submit it simultaneously to the consideration of other publications.

3. Categories of works to be consigned

The works are categorized as research or essays. Both must be the product of research and meet the requirements of rigorous reasoning, systematic exposure and updated bibliographic information. They differ only in the structure of presentation. Book reviews, interviews and transcripts of conferences of a scientific or academic nature are also accepted.

The work must be preceded by a summary of no more than 160 words of extension (keeping the same margins, type and size of letter and line spacing) in Spanish and English.

The summary in English must be preceded by the title in English. The work can be returned due to translation failures.

They must submit 3 to 4 key words at the bottom of the summary, in Spanish and English.

Research articles. Structure

Introduction, development of the work (It contemplates three parts: 1. the theoretical and empirical foundation that supports the article, 2. the methodology, and 3. the results and their discussion), conclusions and bibliography.

Essay articles. Structure

Introduction, dissertation, conclusions and bibliography.

In both cases, support elements can optionally be used: tables, charts and graphs; explanatory notes. Tables, tables and graphs should be explained by themselves and be relevant; additionally, they must be referenced in the text.

As for the notes, they must have a moderate extension and will be placed before the bibliographic references using sequential numbering according to order of appearance.

For book reviews are required: the cover in high resolution digitalized, data of the author of the review, email, institutional adscription and brief curriculum vitae. If it is an interview, send the data of the interviewer and the interviewee, email, institutional affiliation and brief curriculum vitae of both. Finally, in the case of conference transcripts, the general data of the event is required, responsible for the editing and correction, email, institutional affiliation and brief curriculum vitae of the lecturer.

4. Preparation of the works

In the development of the article, the bibliographical references will be made in compliance with the norms of the American Psychological Association (APA) 2017, sixth edition:

Non-textual references indicate last name and year. Examples: a single author (Freitez, 2017), two authors (Zapata and Mirabal, 2017) and with more than two authors (Zapata et al., 2017).

For the textual citations, which should be enclosed in quotes in the development of the article, add the page number or range of pages. Examples: (Reyes, 2017, p.8) or (Reyes, 2017, p.8-9). Textual citations of less than 40 words are written within the text and those of more than 40 words in a separate paragraph.

To differentiate works by the same author with the same year of publication, use lowercase letters as follows: (Rangel, 2017a) and (Rangel, 2017b).

In the bibliographical references, acronyms of the institutions or organisms that act as authors of the materials should not be used. They can be used in the development of the article: the first time the institution is referenced, for example, Lisandro Alvarado Centroccidental University (2017), later, UCLA (2017) can be placed.

The bibliography should be limited to sources cited at work and avoid references to unpublished works. The citations and bibliographical references must coincide.
