All materials should be submitted as attachments to an e-mail message or in
hard copy, typewritten and double spaced.

1. Use the style recommended in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. 4th Edition (1995).
2. Leave a margin of one inch on all four sides.
3. Double space text, quotes, Notes, and Works Cited [Referències]. For laser and dot matrix printers, use 12 pitch.
4. Title of article, Works Cited, and names of authors in Works Cited should be printed in upper and lower case (not in upper case only). Do not use bold for anything.
5. Titles of: A. Books: In Italics. B. Articles: "Within quotation marks." C. Poems: "Within quotation marks."
6. A. Articles in English: Place periods and commas inside quotation marks [e.g. I do not understand the word "amor."] B. Articles in Catalan: Place periods and commas outside quotation marks [e.g. No comprenc la paraula "amor".] Follow this practice in the title, throughout the article, in the Notes, and in the Referències.
7. Place note numbers outside the punctuation. Notes should be used only for commentary or supplementary information, not to document the sources cited in the text. Full bibliographical reference to sources cited in the Notes should appear in Works Cited, not in the note itself. Notes must appear at the end of the text, before Works Cited.
8. Quotes of less than four lines should be included within the text, not set off. Quotes of more than four lines should be set off from the text, indented ten spaces, and should not be placed between quotation marks; the author’s name and page number should follow in brackets.
9. References to the sources cited (author’s last name and page number, without a comma) should appear within the text, in brackets [e.g. Situations become impossible because they seem to violate the laws of physics and common sense (Duran 76)].
10. A list of Works Cited [Referències] in the article (not Bibliography!) is to appear at the end of the text, after the Notes. Appropriate order for items within Works Cited: (a) Books: Author’s last name, Author’s first name. Title of part of book. Title of Book. Name of editor or translator, preceded by Ed(s). or Trans. Edition used. Number of volumes. Name of series. Place of publication: Name of publisher, date of publication. Page numbers for part of book See sample at the end of this page. (b) Articles: Author’s last name, Author’s first name. "Title of article." Title of Journal volume number in Arabic numbers (year): pages. See sample at the end of this page.
