2. Title, abstract (100 words) and keywords (5 words at least) should be included in Spanish and English. The abstract should make explicit the purpose of the research, the findings and conclusions and the originality and value (contribution and relevance) of the writing.

3. The title should appear in capital letters. Author's name and his or her institution will write down at the beginning of the text.

4. The manuscript will be sent to NRFH preferably through the website http://nrfh.colmex.mx/index.php/NRFH. Alternatively, the email nrfh@colmex.mx can be also used.

5. The file will be in letter size (8.5 x 11 inches); the right and left margins will have 1 inch.

6. Each paragraph should begin with indentation. 7. Demonstrative pronouns (éste, aquél, etc.) and the adverb sólo are written with a tilde in NRFH (see the observations of Academia Mexicana de la Lengua in http://www.academia.org.mx/espin/Detalle?id=17).

8. Research articles should be no more than 30 pages in length. Research notes should be no more than 30 pages in length. Book reviews should be between 5 and 8 pages. However, NRFH can consider longer manuscripts in exceptional and justified cases.
