Those that are not considered of interest for the journal or that do not comply with the OHM’s publication norms will not be sent to the corresponding external referee by anonymous pairs.

2.- In order to prevent compatibility problems related to file formats, the electronic document shall be sent in RTF format.

• -Margins shall be 2 centimetres on all four sides.

5.- Authorship of works. In works of multiple authorship, the responsible author must be identified, who will also be the contact author. It is the responsibility of the responsible author to ensure the recognition of all authors who share responsibility for the work and to ensure that all of them know and have approved the final version of the document.
The names of the authors must appear in alphabetical order by the first surname in case they all contributed in the same way in the work. If the contribution of each author is different, it is recommended to state it in a note using the conventionalized terminology CRediT (https://casrai.org/credit/).

6.- The first-line intent of paragraphs, both on text and footnotes, shall be done with the specific option of the format menu or paragraph design. Spacebar or TAB key shall be never used for paragraph indenting.

7.- The textual notes included in the main text longer than three lines shall be enclosed in double quotes: «like this», using the same font and not in italics.

A quote included in another quote shall be enclosed in single quotes: «in other words, “this” is the correct way».

This have to be the way in which longer quotations should be introduced in the text, provided that they exceed the three or more lines. The size of the letter is 10, the text is indented to the right at 1.5 cm, and it does not have any type of quotation marks that open or close the text that forms it.

8.-Bibliographic references shall be included in the body text pursuant to the attached model and making specific mention to the pages in which the information referred to is found (Gaudemet, 1993, pp. 196-198).  It is important to include bibliographic references at the end of each sentence and not in the middle of the sentence. Thus, we will seriously hamper the reading process of our report to the interested reader (Vogel, 1977, p. 400; Derosas, 1978, pp. 25-29). It is therefore naturally to cite one or more works, but always according to the form prescribed in this document, which is, at the end of each sentence and separated by a semicolon (Gaudemet, 1993, pp. 196-198; Derosas, 1987, pp. 225-227; Vogel, 1977, p. 400; Sheenan, 1978, pp. 215-217).

Likewise, the author may include traditional footnotes in the text, but they must be used only for documentary references or additional clarifications regarding the information set out in the body text. In this case, the format of the documentary note shall be the following:

Corresponding file (hereinafter to be referred to as C.F.), Documentary resource, section or chapter, p. (page) or f. (folio).

This footnote may exceptionally include bibliographic references, but according to the already set out format and guidelines. Example: "See in this regard, Gaudemet, 1993, pp. 196-198; Vogel, 1977, p. 400; Sheenan, 1978, pp. 215-217."

9.- Bibliographic references at the end of the text and according to this format:

- On the basis of these typefaces:

VERSALS FONT, Not here (1978), “then, in Times New Roman font size 12”, cite the remaining bibliographic reference of the article, 1, 17, pp. 34-64.

VERSALS FONT, Not here (1987), then, in Times New Roman font size 12, cite the remaining bibliographic reference of the book, Place of publishing, Publisher.
