It is also appreciated that footnotes do not exceed, if possible, six lines.

Research articles (not general notes or reviews) should be preceded by a summary (or "abstract") of no more than eight lines, which allows the main argument and general methodology of the work to be identified. The abstract should be accompanied by its English version for wider dissemination purposes, and a list of key words in both languages.
