3. CITATION AND REFERENCE STYLE

Citation style

All direct and indirect quotations must be accompanied by the corresponding in-text reference. The journal uses the Chicago author-date citation style, 17th edition. Citations include, in parentheses within the text, the author and the date of the source used, with no punctuation between the two. Where the citation refers to a specific section of the text or to a paraphrase, this is followed by a comma and then the page number or page range. Where more than one source needs to be cited in the same sentence, the citation must include both sources within a single set of parentheses, separated by a semicolon.

Examples: (Segato 2016, 96-98) (Lugones, 2008; Espinosa 2014)

It is the journal’s practice to include the first name of each author in the first citation or paraphrase.

Example of a first citation:

“Necesitamos situarnos en una posición que nos permita convocarnos a rechazar este sistema de género mientras llevamos a cabo una transformación de las relaciones comunales” (María Lugones 2008, 77).

Example of second and subsequent citations:

Where there are several works by the same author published in the same year, each work is assigned a letter (a, b, c, etc.) in alphabetical order of the title of the work, placed immediately after the year.

Example:

In-text citation: (Segato 2016a)

Entry in the bibliography:

Segato, Rita. 2016a. La guerra contra las mujeres. Madrid: Traficante de sueños.

Reference style

The list of bibliographic references, with the full first name and surname of the authors, must appear at the end of the text and must contain only the references actually cited in the body of the text. The list of bibliographic references is included at the end of the document under the heading “References”, in alphabetical order by the surname of the first author. Where there is more than one author, the first name is inverted (Surname, First name) and the remaining names appear in the usual order. For works without a personal author name published by an organisation, association or corporation, the organisation appears in place of the author.

A hanging indent must be applied, meaning that indentation is applied from the second line onwards.

The general structure of the reference is: Author. Year of publication. Title. Other publication details. For electronic resources, the DOI or URL must be included at the end.

Example of a book reference:

González, Antonio. 1991. Mujer y educación: Educar para la igualdad, educar desde la diferencia. Barcelona: Editorial Grao.

Segato, Rita. 2016. La guerra contra las mujeres. Madrid: Traficante de sueños.

Example of a book chapter reference:

Braqui, Margarita. 2020. "Radiografía de un experimento sociológico". En Feminismo 2.0, editado por Luis Santos, 27-63. Barcelona: Ínsula.

4. USE OF NON-SEXIST LANGUAGE

The journal promotes the use of non-sexist language. To this end, we recommend the “Guía de orientaciones para la comunicación no sexista” of the Universidad Católica de Temuco.
