All direct quotes and paraphrases must appear in the references and there must be correspondence between the last names of the authors and the dates.

Ways of citing in the text

Verbatim citations of more than 40 words in length will be separated from the body of the text and without quotation marks.

In this sense, for citations and paraphrases, the model is followed: author (year). Example: Pérez (1997)... Pérez and García (1996). If the same author has published more than one work in the same year, use lowercase letters (a, b, c...) after the year of publication: (Pérez, 2015 a) (Pérez, 2015 b) .

At the end of the quote, in parentheses, write the page number consulted. Example: For González (2010), "Good intentions are not enough in moral matters" (p. 1 2). Also, the following model can be used at the end of the quote, whether textual or paraphrased: "There were during the colony those who took care of forming trees that helped maintain or feign prestige of nobility" (Briceño Guerrero, 1998, p. 9).
