Guidelines for submissions
Submission should be made electronically and must include a 100-150 word abstract of the article's content. All text must be at double space, with numbered pages. Articles should not exceed 10,0000 words, including footnotes. Tables, maps and illustrations should include a caption and source information. Artwork can be sent electronically or via regular mail.
All articles in Mesoamérica appear in Spanish. If the manuscript is accepted for publication and is not already in Spanish, we may ask that you translate it or contribute to translation costs.
At the time of publication, we will require original production-ready photos, maps, and illustrations. It is generally the author's responsibility to secure publication rights for any illustrations or other materials under copyright.
Authors are requested to incorporate non-bibliographic material into the text to help minimize footnotes.
