Original works: The authors will have to send a personal letter and two copies of their article, one signed and the other without traces of the author’s identity for a blind review, in electronic support (Word format) to the following address: horitzo.direccio@iscreb.org. In addition, authors who submit an article for the first time to publish in the journal, must submit a short curriculum vitae. On the personal letter to the Editor must be stated that the contribution is original and the commitment to publish the article in Horitzó, if it would be accepted. Also, as usual, the author must declare in the letter that gives to Horitzó the administration of the literary rights of the article for publishing it.
