DIÁLOGO Style Guide (Published 2020)
Authors, please submit your essays in the following format:
All essays should be in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font. The entire document should be double-spaced – including notes. Please do not use footnotes. Endnotes only; all notes should appear at the end of the document.
Please do not use any headers, footers, or page numbers in the final document.
Please do not include images in the Word document. If you wish to include images in your essay, number each of the images (i.e., “Figure 1,” “Figure 2,” etc.) and send them in a separate email. Images must have 300 dpi resolution or greater in order to be published. In the Word document, type “INSERT FIGURE 1 HERE” in the approximate location where you wish the figure to appear in the essay. (For images drawn from copyrighted materials – books, films, videos, etc. – you will also have to submit permissions to reprint them.)
Submissions may only use MLA or APA styles.
Format your essay as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(For first page)
Title: Subtitle (boldface)
Author’s Name
Institution
Abstract: 100 words or less.
Keywords: Up to 5.
The beginning of each paragraph should be indented ½ inch. Please do NOT use other tabs or preset paragraph indentations, since they can be difficult to remove. If you have a long block quote, the entire quote should be double-spaced and indented ½ inch as well:
For example, if this were a longer quotation, I would be able to use a block quote here. But this is just an example for you to use. You don’t have to keep reading this nonsense. It’s just an example. (Ríos 54)
If you want to create a subsection in your essay, please put the heading in bold and use all capital letters.
THIS IS A SUBSECTION HEADING
Your essay should be followed by a short bio of 100 words or less, your Works Cited list (which should include only works directly cited in the text), and finally your Notes.
Biography: 100 words or less.
