  • Language: Spanish or English. Title, abstract and keywords must be provided in both languages.

  • Abstract: structured (Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions), up to 250 words.
  • Keywords: 3 to 6, preferably taken from the DeCS/MeSH thesauri.
  • Structure (original articles): Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions (IMRaD).
