5. APA STYLE: Please consult an APA (7th ed.) for guidance in the preparation of reference entries, in-text citations, and in the proper use of italics and quotation marks. Note that APA does not use single quotation marks except in the instance of a quotation within a quotation. You may request a style-sheet detailing common APA guidelines as used by this journal by contacting the editor Carlos Vidales (carlos.vidales@academicos.udg.mx ).
6. FIGURES AND TABLES: Maximum width of figures and tables is 5 inches. See APA for proper formatting of tables.
