NOVA TELLVS does not charge authors for sending, processing, or publishing their texts.

Curricular summary

Authors must send in a separate sheet a curricular summary of maximum 10 lines that includes: highest academic degree and place where it was acquired, institution and place of affiliation, teaching experience, line of research and recent publications (or some other relevant data). They must provide their e-mail address, ORCID, and postal address. The mailing date must also be noted.

FORMAT

Contributions should be sent in Word and PDF format. The material must be in letter size, with 2.5 cm margins. Pages must be numbered. Contributions that do not comply with the requirements mentioned below may not be reviewed, so they will be returned to their author(s) to be amended.

TEXT

1. Articles, research notes, and documents should have a brief and concise title, in Spanish and English, followed by the full name of the author(s) and the full name of their institution of affiliation and the country.
2. Articles, research notes, and documents will have a summary in Spanish and English, not exceeding 500 characters, and five key words will be noted in both languages. The abstract should include: 1) objective, 2) findings or conclusions, and 3) originality or value of the contribution.
3. The text must be double-spaced, using Times 12-point font for the text, 11-point font in long quotations, and 10-point font in footnotes and in the Bibliography.
4. Greek should be typed with Unicode characters (e.g. Times, Times New Roman, Polytonic Greek, etc.).
5. The paleographic transcription of a manuscript must be accompanied by a copy of the original, so that the Editorial Board and the arbitrators can judge the quality of the work.

CITATIONS

1. Short textual quotations include quotation marks.
2. Textual quotations exceeding 5 lines must be in a separate paragraph, with left indentation and single interline, using Times 11.

NOTES

1. Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the page. The note call is placed after the punctuation marks.
2. The abbreviations established in A Greek-English Lexicon (Liddell & Scott) for Greek and A Latin Dictionary (Lewis & Short) for Latin will be used to refer to ancient authors and their works. In all other cases, the author must specify the abbreviations used.
3. Italics are not used for bibliographic abbreviations and technical terms of Latin origin such as cf, s.v.,vid, supra and infra.
4. This journal recommends putting relevant bibliographic references and not using ibid., idem, op. cit., etc., in order to achieve greater visibility on the web.
5. NOVA TELLVS only accepts abbreviated bibliographical references, including the surname (and first name only if the surname coincides with that of another cited author), the year of edition, and the pages. Example: Beuchot 1985, pp. 25-28. In the case of authors and ancient works, both in the notes and in the bibliographic record, the edition used by the author will be specified: Suet., Calig., LIX, ed. 1931. For web page references, the surname of the author and year (if available) are used. If the author is not known, the title of the work is used in quotation marks and if the title is very long, the partial title is used. Examples: Muñoz-Casallas 1985, online / “Origen de la Literatura Fantástica” 1985, online.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

1. The bibliography will be limited to the authors and works mentioned in the text, quotations, or notes, and will be included at the end of the text in strict alphabetical order.
2. Abbreviations should not be used for authors, editors, journals, books, or publishers.
3. It will be divided into 2 sections: Old Sources and Modern Sources.
4. If there is more than one work by the same author, they will be listed from the oldest to the most recent.
5. If an author has two or more works in the same year, a lowercase letter must be added to differentiate them (1979a, 1979b).
6. The entry shall be made by title in the case of anonymous texts.
7. Titles must be complete, with subtitles included.
8. NOVA TELLVS uses commas to separate the elements of the bibliographic records and does not translate into Spanish the data recorded in the original language.
9. In the case of books, this journal requests the city of printing and the publisher.
10. The Bibliography will be presented using hanging indentation, as shown in the following examples:
