All opinions and points of view
contained in the articles and reviews are of the exclusive responsibility
of authors . Besides authors are the sole responsible for securing

the inclusion of any unauthorized material in both articles and
documents. |

Manuscript sources should be
arranged chronologically in a separate list. The same applies
to newspapers. They must be arranged alphabetically according
to the first word of the title, be it noun or article, indicating
the year or years of publication of the numbers referred to in
the text of the manuscript or in the footnotes. |
| |
|

Bibliographic references in
the text of the manuscript can be presented enclosed between parenthesis
in the text itself or as footnotes. In both cases the reference
must include the author’s family name followed by the year
of publication and the page number, as follows: |
| |
|
| |
Hirsch 1988 :49-50 |
| |
|

References to newspaper articles
must include the name of the author (if known), the title of the
article, the name of the periodical followed by the volume number,
the number of the issue, the complete date of the issue, page
number and column number, as follows: |

| |
Marie Escudier, “Concert
Guzman”, La France Musicale, XXXII/9 (1 de marzo,
1868), p. 65, c.2. |
| |
|
|
| |
If the name of the author is
not known, or if the article carries no title, the remaining information
of the reference should be entered as completely as possible,
as in the following example: |
| |
|
|
| |

| |
|
|
| |
In the case of a reference to
the same publication in two or more consecutive footnotes, the
bibliographic reference should be repeated in complete form, changing
the indication of the page number if applicable, so as to avoid
the usage of such abbreviations as op. cit., loc. cit., ibid.
or ibidem. |
| |
|
|
| |
Acknowledgements to persons
or institutions must appear as the first footnote inmmediately
after the title of the article submitted for publication, but
not as part of the title. The meaning of abbreviations employed
in the text of the article or in bibliographic references, should
be indicated in an alphabetical listing at the end of the article. |

The editorial staff of the RMCh
will introduce all the corrections of spelling, punctuation and
style in general in the text of articles accepted for publication
that are considered necessary in terms of the standards of the
RMCh. This includes shortening all unnecessary reiterations. All
authors are entitled to receive free of charge three copies of
the number of RMCh in which their articles are published. |
