1. Refereed articles. Primary
publications such as:
a) Reports of empirical research. Works which describe
general or partial results of original research in some area of education,
and which have not been previously published in Spanish or subjected to
judgment in another publication. Such articles should preferably contain
the following sections:
- Abstract. In Spanish, about 150 words, placed after the title of the
article. Must contain a brief description of the objectives, methodology
and results of the article. Preferably should include an English translation
of the summary (abstract).
- Keywords (except for reviews). Minimum of three, maximum of five words.
Should preferably adhere to the ERIC
or UNESCO
thesaurus.
- Introduction. The presentation of the problem or object of study,
and the objective of the investigation.

with which the research was carried out.
- Results. The report of the results obtained in the investigation.
- Discussion. The interpretation and argumentation of results.
b) Essays or reviews. Works of meta-analysis and critical
evaluation of previous research or literature on any area or object of
educational research. This type of work should preferably provide the
current state of knowledge of that object or area of study, or should
allow the identification of relations, contradictions or inconsistencies
and propose solutions or avenues for further study. Does not require a
chronological sequence, but rather, a relational one.
c) Theoretical articles. Works in which literature on
educational research is analyzed, and which contribute to the advancement
of theory in any area of the field. In this type of work, the author tracks
the development of the theory so as to expand or refine theoretical constructs.
Usually, in this kind of article the author presents a new theory, but
can also analyze the consistencies and inconsistencies of existing theories.
Does not require a chronological sequence, but rather, a relational one.
d) Case studies. Articles that describe the results
of an investigation in which research has been done on a particular case.
Preferably contain the same sections as empirical research reports.
