Editorial Guidelines for Authors
1 PEER REVIEW PROCESS:
All the manuscripts received have three stages. First, the articles are reviewed by the Editorial Board, the Director and/or Editors and only those articles that meet the scientific and editorial standards of the Journal and its objectives and focus go on to the next stage: submission to External Reviewers. The journal Psicoanálisis en la Universidad, uses for the Evaluation of each article the blind arbitration protocol, in which the authors do not know who evaluated them and the referees do not know who they are evaluating.
Each article will be evaluated by at least two experts on the subject located in National, Latin American or European Universities who will determine: a) to accept and publish, b) to review, rework and accept, c) to reject.
In case of discrepancies between the opinions, the text will be sent to a third arbitrator, whose opinion will define its publication or not. The results of the evaluation process of the academic opinions will be unappealable in all cases.In case of discrepancies the text will be sent to a third arbitrator, whose decision will be its publication or not. The results of the evaluation will be final for everybody.

5- REFERENCES, QUOTATIONS AND BIBLIOGRAPHY:
Psychoanalysis in the University uses the format of the American Psychological Association (APA 6ª, Ed). The entire document will follow the norms of the American Psychological Association (APA), which establish the international standards for the publication of scientific production. The following are some key considerations to be taken into account when constructing the document.
(Note: For references to classical authors of a discipline - such as Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan - we suggest that the original year of publication or date of delivery be included in brackets in the case of conferences or seminars. The addition of this information is not mandatory and is at the discretion of each author, what is formally required is only the year of publication of the version cited).
5-1.- Textual quotations
The author, year and page number should be indicated. If the source cited has no pagination, then the paragraph number should be written. If the quotation has less than 40 words, it is placed as part of the body of the text, between quotes and at the end between parentheses the data of the reference is indicated.
Example:
"If Freud insisted so much on the Oedipus complex that it came to constitute a sociology of totems and taboos, it is clearly because the Law is there ab origine." (Lacan, [1955] 1981, p.121)..
If the quotation is more than 40 words long, it should be written in a separate paragraph, without quotes, aligned on the left and with a margin of 2.54 cm or 5 tab spaces. All quotations should be double-spaced.
Examples
Lacan ([1953/1954] 1981) in his Seminar 1 states the following:
In the dream, at the moment in which this one assumes certain orientation, phenomena occur that are of linguistic order particularly. The subject in all conscience commits an error of language. The subject in the dream knows that it is an error of language because a character appears there to correct him (p.79)
We always maintain the subject's intrinsic relationship with language because:
In sleep, the moment it assumes a certain orientation, phenomena occur that are particularly linguistic. The subject in all conscience commits an error of language. The subject in the dream knows that it is a language error because a character appears there to correct him. (Lacan, [1953/1954] 1981, p.79)
5.2.- Indirect quotes and paraphrases
In some cases, a textual quotation is not made, that is to say, as it was originally written by the author whose ideas we are recognizing, but rather its central ideas or arguments are collected but without using the author's words. Here the rules of textual citation are followed, with the exception of the use of quotes and quotations in a separate paragraph. Example:
- This is, in my opinion, a path, not obligatory, but perhaps inevitable for those who say and authorize themselves to be analysts. Paraphrasing Lacan, to unite to his horizon the subjectivity of the time. (Lacan, [1953] 1971, p.309)
- In my opinion, this is a path that is not obligatory, but perhaps inevitable for those who say they are authorized analysts and who try to unite the subjectivity of the time with their horizon. (Lacan, [1953] 1971, p.309)
The only cases where the page number can be deliberately omitted are in paraphrases, and this is when several ideas expressed throughout a work are being summarized and not a particular idea that can be easily located in the cited source.
5.3.- Several works or authors: Example
Two authors
Haimovich and Kreszes (2011) states . . . or (Haimovich and Kreszes, 2011, p.)
Three to five authors: when first cited, all surnames are named, then only the first one and then et al:
As stated by many authors (Soler, 2011; Laurent, 2002; Miller, 2003) shame is an affection that is in line with guilt. (Soler et al, 2011)
