Guidelines for authors
It should be noted that the Ecocience International Journal does not charge for the processing, editing, and sending of articles.
- Formal aspects of the presentations
The texts will be sent in the following template. Any shipment made without taking this resource into account will be automatically rejected.
All submitted articles must have an IMRDyC structure (Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions),
The extension of the manuscripts should consist of an extension between 6,000 and 9,000 words, including bibliography and footnotes.
The texts must be presented in .doc, .docx, .pdf format, or another of common compatibility.
A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 references must be used. Care should be taken to refer only to research published in journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.
In a separate file, drawn up under the same characteristics already described, the following information should be mentioned: Title of the article text
- Title of the article (Original language and English)
- Full name of the author.
- Most recent academic degree, mentioning the university where it was obtained. If you do not have an academic degree, you must indicate the degree you are studying, and the name of the educational entity where you are doing it.

These data must be submitted in a file other than the proposed article in order to protect anonymity in the review by peer reviewers. It is recommended to review the edition of the 'properties' section of the document so that no traces of its authorship are recorded.
The use of quotation marks is intended for literal quotes or colloquial expressions, on the other hand, fonts in italics will be reserved for words in a foreign language.
The text of every article must present at the end, under the heading of "References", an alphabetical list of the books, articles, or book chapters used in the composition of the articles.
Any reference to the academic degrees held by the author or authors, along with the university that awarded them, their positions, work commitments, sponsoring entities, or sponsored scientific projects where the work is framed, may be included in the first footnote.
Bibliographic references
The writing of bibliographic references will be presented in the APA (7th edition in English), reserving the Editorial Team the possibility of returning the text to the author for correction.
Citations and references to other texts must be made using the author-date system, that is, they must be incorporated immediately after the cited material within the body of the article. These will have a correlation with bibliographic entries that will be individualized and that will be arranged in alphabetical order at the end of the article.
In cases where the author-year system is complemented by footnotes or the end of the chapter, the mention of the source in the notes is done the same as when it is done in the body of the text.
Authors can follow these two citation guides.
