Author Guidelines
Guidelines for publishing scientific articles
Formal requirements and submission of manuscripts
Articles of a scientific nature must answer a research question and a clearly stated hypothesis.
Articles must be unpublished, that is, they must not have been previously published or disclosed. Furthermore, the author agrees not to participate simultaneously in another editorial evaluation process.
Articles can be written in Spanish or English.
The manuscript must contain between 7,000 and 8,000 words.
The writing must be done in the third person.
Punctuation, accentuation and spelling must be in accordance with the standards of the language in which the article is written.
Terms or expressions that do not belong to the language in which the text is written must appear in italics.
Microsoft Word on letter-size sheet should be used as the standard word processor for publication.
All margins should be 2.5 cm (top, bottom, left and right).
The text must be justified.
Font: Times New Roman, size 12 with 1.5 line spacing (all text must have 1.5 line spacing, including abstract, references, etc).
All pages must be numbered, starting with the page containing the summary of the content.
Do not list: abstract, abstract, keywords, introduction and references. The content sections should be numbered (1,2,3). In the event that the text has subsections, its numbering would be as follows: 1.1; 1.2; 1.3.
Before submitting the article, review the included calculations; Numbers less than 10 are written in letters, zero is included before decimal numbers (that is, 0.34), for statistics, only two decimal places are included (that is, 0.27) and the prices or economic values must go in pesos ($) or in American currency (USD).
Citations and references
Mundo Asia Pacífico Digital adopts the form established by the North American Psychological Association (APA), sixth edition in English or third edition in Spanish.
Regarding bibliographic references in the text, these are included in the place of the citation, with the author's last name and the year, in parentheses. For example: (Buckley, 2002). Citations based on the literature used should be denoted in the text. The list of references is included at the end of the work.
If a mentioned work has two authors, always cite the two authors every time the work is mentioned in the text. For example: (Roberts & Smith, 1999). If it is between three and five authors, only cite all authors the first time their work is mentioned. Hereinafter, only the first author + "et al." Is used. For example: (Roberts et al, 2007).
If a work is literally cited, quotes are used and the author, year and page are indicated when the reference is short (less than 40 words) or if it is long, an intend must be left (author, year: page).
Tables and Figures
The tables are independent of the figures.
At the top, write: "Figure or Table" #consecutive and a title.
At the bottom of the table or figure, write a note explaining the content and later the source or reference as the case may be and the year.
Tables should not be entered into the document as images. All tables must be editable in Word. Attached tables are accepted in Excel to facilitate the
editing process. Example:
Table 1. Interpretation of the IG-L values
Level 1
IG-L greater than 0.333
Indications of intra-industry trade
Level 2
IG-L between 0.10 and 0.333
Potential for intra-industry trade
Level 3
less than 0.100
