Presentación

The following guidelines outline the requirements for publication in this journal, defining the structure, format, coherence, and logic necessary for clear understanding of the information presented.

Length

Only submissions with a minimum of 20 pages and a maximum of 25 pages, including tables and figures, will be accepted. Submissions should be on letter-size paper. The main body of the text should be in Times New Roman, 12-point font, single-spaced, with 2.5 cm margins on the left, right, top, and bottom. The document must be correctly written, free of spelling and stylistic errors, and submitted in Microsoft Word format.

Review Process

Submissions will be reviewed initially by the editor-in-chief, then by the issue coordinators, and finally by a blind peer review. The reviewers will receive the document without the author's name and will issue a written decision with one of the following results: approved for publication without changes; approved for publication with minor changes and requiring restructuring. The author will be notified of the decision, which is final.

Composition

Each issue of the journal will include works that, at the time of publication, have received a positive review from blind peer review and approval from the Editorial Committee. However, in order to provide a more thematic composition for each issue, Ra Ximhai reserves the right to publish accepted articles in a subsequent issue. All accepted articles will be published in Ra Ximhai, in both print and electronic versions. The Editorial Board reserves the right to make stylistic corrections and editorial changes it deems necessary to improve the work. Substantive changes will be subject to author approval. Original manuscripts will not be returned.

Formal Structure of the Article

Title

The article should begin with a title in the same language as the text and in English. It should be concise (clearly indicating the nature of the work), centered, and without a period at the end. If the common name of any species is cited in this section, the scientific name(s) should be included immediately afterward in parentheses.

Author(s)

The author(s)'s name(s) should begin with the first name followed by the last name(s). If applicable, the second and subsequent first names of an author should be written in full. Authors' names should be separated by a semicolon (;). In addition, an Arabic numeral superscript indicating the author's affiliation should be included at the end of each author's name. If the article is submitted by a single author, a superscript is not required. Each article should have a maximum of three authors, including the affiliation of the University, Research Center, or Institution they represent, email address, and ORCID, in that order.

Example:

César Porras Andujo1; Manuel Pérez Tellés² and Francisco Javier Jiménez Rodríguez³
