1. Manuscript submissions

— Authors of contributions submitted for possible publication should attach, duly completed and signed, the “Declaration of Authorship” form which can be found at http://revistas.csic.es/public/formulario_declaracion_autoria.pdf, and must comply with the “Good Practice Guide” which can be found at http://revistas.csic.es/public/guia_buenas_practicas_CSIC.pdf.

— Musicological research papers submitted to Anuario Musical must be new and original, must not have been previously published in any format or medium, and must not have been submitted to other media for publication. Texts that do not pass the anti-plagiarism tool used by Editorial CSIC will not be accepted. This tool detects Ph.D. theses included in institutional repositories, so it is recommended not to reproduce their exact content.

— The journal publishes preferably in Spanish and English, although it may include works in other languages with the approval of the Editorial Board.

— Articles should be no longer than 30 pages, in DIN-A-4 format, with the margins assigned by Microsoft Word by default (2.5-3 cm).

— The contribution should be written in a Word file, and the illustrations, images or graphics should be submitted in suitably identified files (in .tiff, .jpg or .png format, with a minimum quality of 300 dpi), in a single compressed .zip or .rar file.

— If the manuscript includes graphic material (figures, photos, maps, etc.) as part of the research, the relevant reproduction permissions or the corresponding legal licence must be provided in open-access documents.

— In the paper edition, illustrations will be reproduced in greyscale. The electronic edition of Anuario Musical may incorporate supplementary image, video, and sound files, allowing for the inclusion of higher resolution colour versions of the illustrations.

— Articles must mention the study's or research's funding sources. The mention of the public or private institution responsible for such funding, the title and the code of the funded project must be explicit. This mention will be included in a first note, marked with an asterisk, associated with the end of the title in the original language of the article.

2. Text formatting

— General formatting guidelines:

• Margins of 3 cm on the sides and 2.5 cm at the bottom and top of the page.
• Single line spacing for the title, abstract, keywords, footnotes and “Bibliography cited”, and single and half line spacing for the main text.
• Typography: Times New Roman, size 12 for main text, 11 for quotations, and 10 for footnotes.

— Title in English (if the article is written in English): centred, in Times New Roman 14, capital letters and bold. Single line spacing. Title in Spanish: centred, in Times New Roman 14, capital letters and italics. Single line spacing.

— The abstract (Times New Roman, 10) will be headed by the title Abstract (Times New Roman, 10, bold). Likewise, the Keywords, the Resumen and the Palabras clave. Keywords must be separated by commas. Only the first letter of the first keyword should be capitalised.

— Section headings must be numbered consecutively (1. TITLE) with a 12-point font, in capital letters, and bold. Automatic formatting shall be avoided.

— The headings of the subsections shall be numbered consecutively (1.1. Heading of subsection), in 12-point font, lower case, and bold. There may be a third level (1.1.1. Second subsection heading). Automatic formatting should be avoided.

— No blank lines should be left between paragraphs or footnotes.

— Footnotes should be referred to by sequential numbers after the punctuation mark.

3. Quotations

— Short quotations of less than four lines should be part of the body of the text. If the text is in English, they should be written between high quotation marks (“”). If the text is in Spanish, it should be written between angle quotation marks («»). The call to the footnote for the reference should be placed outside the quotation marks.

— Long quotations, of four or more lines, should be separated into a separate paragraph and are not enclosed in quotation marks. The text of these quotations is indented in full (1.25 cm from the left margin) and transcribed in a smaller font (11 points).

— Modifications and suppressions in a quotation should be indicated in square brackets.

— In translated quotations, the original text should be transcribed in a footnote, in quotation marks, preceded by its reference. If applicable, the following text should be added after the original:

    Own translation (unless otherwise indicated, all translations are henceforth the author's own).

— Personal emphases in quotations from others must be expressly indicated.

4. Graphic elements

— The relevance of graphic elements will be subject to the consideration of the reviewers. In any case, the journal’s Editorial Board reserves the right to reject them.

— They must be numbered consecutively (Figure 1, Figure 2... Table 1, Table 2... Musical example 1, Musical example 2...) and contain a title or caption. The type of image and the numbering must be in bold and followed by a full stop. This type of elements will be grouped only under the labels figure, table or musical example.

— The image files shall be provided separately, in suitably identified files (in .tiff, .jpg or .png format, with a minimum quality of 300 dpi), in a single compressed ZIP or RAR file. For musical examples, in addition to the image, the file must be included in the original programme used (Finale, Sibelius or other comparable programme that can export in XML format). The authors are responsible for obtaining the corresponding permissions for publication of images that require it and will assume all civil liability in case of improper use of the images.

— The text will not include images of illustrations, only their descriptive caption, with reference, where appropriate, to the source of the image (institution that owns the property rights) or the data included (bibliographic source).

— Tables and graphs shall be sent in editable file format (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, etc.) inserted in the text itself.

— If an image or table is referred to within the text, it should be in parenthesis (see Figure 1).

— Illustrations or musical examples should be described in the caption of the image: Description. Source. Author (if applicable). Location (if applicable). Date (if applicable). In the description, the information should be arranged from more to less specific:

Musical example 1. Scene 1, act II. El viaje a Simorgh. Sánchez-Verdú.

5. Abbreviations

—For abbreviations in Spanish, use the “anexo II” in the Libro de estilo de Editorial CSIC.

—If the contribution is written in a language other than Spanish and the abbreviations coincide in both languages, you could use the “anexo II” in the Libro de estilo del CSIC; if not, you could follow the norm of each language, as in the following example:

    N.º Spanish
    No English

6. References

— Authors must check that the references included in the cited bibliography have been cited in the text, and vice versa.

— The DOI identifiers of works that have them must be included. The use of CrossRef's Simple Text Query tool is recommended for this check.

— Anuario Musical uses the Chicago Manual of Style for footnotes and bibliography.

— Chicago style (notes and bibliography) presents bibliographic information through footnotes and organises them at the end of the text into a single complete bibliography.

— Footnotes should reproduce the entire reference in the first citation, and an abbreviated reference in subsequent citations.

— It is recommended to consult the Chicago Manual Citation Guide, or the detailed guide offered, with free access, by Purdue University.

Recordings and audiovisual material

— The citation of recordings and other multimedia content usually includes some or all of the following elements:

3. Information about the work, including the names of additional contributors and the date and place of the recording, production or performance.
4. Information on the publisher, including the date of publication.
5. Information on the medium or format (e.g. LP, DVD, MP3, AVI). Additional information, such as the number of discs in an album and the length of the recording, if applicable, may also be provided.
6. Any additional information that may be relevant for the citation.
7. For sources consulted online, a URL.

El orden de estos elementos —y cuáles se incluyen— dependerá no sólo de la naturaleza de la fuente, sino también de si se cita una parte o la totalidad y de si un colaborador concreto es el centro de la cita.

— Discographies, filmographies and the like are specialised bibliographies that list (and sometimes annotate) materials such as audio recordings, video recordings and multimedia packages. The examples in this section follow the model of bibliographic notes and entries, but would be appropriately presented as a separate list, either preceding the bibliography or as an appendix.

Research data policy

We recommend authors depositing data obtained from the research developed for the preparation of their article in repositories of recognized prestige, specific to the discipline or of a generalist nature. In any case, it must be a FAIR repository (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), preferably in open access.

There are several repositories destined to conserve and disseminate concrete data such as results of surveys, observations, interviews, simulations, automatically collected data, samples, models ... If necessary, authors can consult the Registry of Research Data Repositories re3data taking into account that each repository has its own deposit rules.

Those CSIC authors who would like to deposit their datasets in Digital.CSIC may do so by following these guidelines. They can use the Servicio de Archivo Delegado made available by the Technical Office of DIGITAL.CSIC and the Red de Bibliotecas CSIC.

DIGITAL.CSIC generates DOIs for datasets and associated software and is certified as data repository in re3data and Repository Finder. More information at Política de datos en Digital.CSIC.

If the author has deposited datasets in a repository, he should mention it in the article providing a brief description of the type of data deposited, the name and URL of the repository, the identification code and the data of the license for use and distribution. This information must be included at the end of the article, immediately before the bibliographic listing, under the heading "Data availability".
