Introduction

It should be concise, include a synthetic review of the current knowledge on the subject, with specific citations that support that knowledge, and establish the aspects that are still unresolved. At the end of the Introduction, the objective(s) and hypothesis(es) should be explicitly stated to promote the conceptual clarity of the work. The complete work is recommended to have a minimum of 10 pages and a maximum of 25 single-spaced pages, including the following sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusions, and References, using this document as a work template.

Materials and Methods

Subheadings in italics

The experimental design, sample collection, and statistical treatment (if necessary) should be presented in a way that allows the assay to be reproduced by other researchers. The information must be presented clearly and concisely, describing the working methodology to be used. If necessary, tables and figures highlighting the most relevant aspects of the work may be included.

Results and Discussion

Subheadings in italics

The discussion of the results includes their interpretation, with special emphasis on coincidences or differences with the theoretical framework. Figures must be included within the manuscript according to their order of appearance in the text and be numbered consecutively below them, accompanied by a brief explanatory caption. Avoid repeating information contained in tables if it has already been presented in a figure. (Figure 1).

Ensure the resolution of figures or objects to guarantee their quality when viewed on screen and printed. For photos, a resolution equal to or greater than 300 dpi is recommended, and they should be inserted from image files in the following formats: JPG, BMP, TIF. Images must be centered, not occupy more than one page, and be clearly referenced in the main text. The figure should be placed in the paragraph immediately after it is named. The use of color is recommended. Tables must be numbered consecutively according to their order of appearance in the text and be accompanied by a brief explanatory caption. Do not include information in the table that is not discussed in the text. (Table 1). Tables must be editable, cannot occupy more than one page, or exceed its margins. Tables in image format will not be accepted.

If using equations, they should be centered, identified with a number in parentheses, and numbered consecutively starting from 1 as they appear in the text. The name of each variable in the equation must be clearly defined. The use of fractional exponents is preferred to avoid the root symbol. Ensure that the size of letters and symbols does not exceed 10 points.

In the text, references are cited by author and year in round parentheses. For example: "Ruth and Chany (2004) have shown that..." or "It has been demonstrated in the literature (Ruth and Chany, 2004) that...". When there are more than two authors, cite the first author followed by et al.; for example, (Pérez et al., 2003). In the references section, however, all authors must be listed. If more than two references are mentioned at once in the text, cite them as: (Pérez et al., 2003; Rojas, 2004; Acuña and Torres, 2004).

Conclusions

They must be synthetic and reflect concrete findings, solutions, and/or applications. They must respond to the objectives and hypotheses of the work. They should be expressed directly and simply, supported by the results of the study conducted and presented in the article.

Acknowledgements

A brief and concise mention should be made of each person or institution deserving of such recognition.
