RULES FOR THE REFERENCES CITED

Basic structure of an appointment in the body of the text

Eutopía sugests to follow the rules of style, writing, and references of the Manual of Style Chicago-Deusto. For bibliography, this journal established the Author-Year System recomended in the Manual. In this System (also known as Harvard System), the reference in the text usually appears in parentheses and contains only the first two elements that are recorded in the list of references: the author and the Year of publication , no punctuation between them. In addition, you can add the page number or other location item, after a comma. Under no circumstances use op. cit., ibid., ibid.

Example:

(Martínez 2015)

(Martínez 2015, 91)

Entries of the list of references with the same author or authors and the same year

The works of the same person in charge (regardless of whether he is an author, editor, compiler or translator) and of the same year must be differentiated with the edition of a, b, c, etc. and they are sorted alphabetically by title. The citations in the text consign the author and the year with the letter.

Example:

Martínez, Luciano. 2005a. "Employment: Achilles heel of the FTA". In TLC: more than a free trade agreement, edited by Alberto Acosta and Fander Falconí, 211-229. Quito: Flacso Headquarters Ecuador.

(Martínez 2005b, 148)

Chronological order for repeated names in a list of references

When the author (s), translator (s), publisher (s), or compiler (s) are repeated several times in a row, the name (the names) is replaced by a line after the first occurrence. The punctuation mark that usually follows the omitted element is not written after the line (here, the period). The entries are arranged chronologically by year of publication in ascending order, not alphabetized by title. Undated jobs (marked as s.f.) or in press go after dated jobs.
