1. Authors must submit their articles to the journal via the OJS platform (https://revistascientificas.us.es/index.php/ Differenz/index). The first page must include the following information in the original language and in English: title, abstract of approximately 100 words, and approximately 5 keywords separated by semicolons.
2. Papers submitted for the first time will be anonymous. They will not include the author's details; once accepted and reviewed, the relevant details will be added. Authors must fill in their user details completely when registering on the journal's platform: it is mandatory to include their full name, academic affiliation and ORCID, as only these three will be published. To facilitate anonymous review, authors must also remove all references in the article to other works and articles written by themselves, both in the body and in the notes, or do so in a way that does not reveal their own authorship. They must also omit any mention of acknowledgements of their participation in funded projects and other acknowledgements.
3. All writings submitted for publication in Differenz. Revista internacional de estudios heideggerianos y sus derivas contemporáneas, whether articles, notes, reviews, translations, etc., must be completely unpublished. While they are in the process of evaluation or editing, they should not be submitted to any other publication. Once they have been published, authors may use their texts freely, always citing their original publication in Differenz. Revista internacional de estudios heideggerianos y sus derivas contemporáneas. In very exceptional cases, and if the reviewers deem it appropriate, articles already published in other journals with limited circulation may be published, specifying this in each case.
4. Studies should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words in length (between 15 and 20 pages). Book reviews should be no longer than 1,800 words. Except in exceptional cases, reviews of books more than seven years old will not be accepted. The works reviewed must be first editions or reissues with substantial modifications. To avoid conflicts of interest, it is preferable that they not be written by people close to the author of the book being reviewed or who have collaborated in its editing or design. The author of a reviewed book should not have professional authority over the author of the review, as in the case of a thesis supervisor.
5. The format in which the work is submitted to the journal must be .doc, .docx, .odt or .rtf. The font for the body of the text (including titles, section headings and bibliographical references) should be Times or Arial 11 point with 1.5 line spacing. Footnotes should be 10 point with 1.5 line spacing. The text should be presented without any indentation. Bold and underlining are not allowed; only italics and English quotation marks (“...”) and single quotation marks (‘...’), as appropriate. Angle quotation marks («...») will only be accepted in exceptional cases. We cannot guarantee that there will be no problems with special characters (Greek, Hebrew, logical, mathematical). We recommend restricting their use as much as possible and, in any case, sending the originals together with their transliteration into the Latin alphabet.
6. The structure of the articles will be: Title, title in English, author's name, institution, abstract, keywords. If the manuscript has been produced thanks to a research project grant, scholarship or similar, this should be indicated as footnote number 1 at the end of the title of the first section of the text. After the headings, it is recommended that the article be organised into sequentially numbered sections, as follows: 1. 2. 3., etc. The titles of subsequent subdivisions should follow a numerical order, as follows: 1.1.; 1.2 ; 1.3. It is recommended that articles have an introduction as the first section and conclusions as the last. Acknowledgements and bibliographical references should be included at the end of the text. Figures and tables should be incorporated into the text, numbered and with their respective captions in 10-point italics.
7. Footnotes should be concise. Quotations in the body of the text should also be brief and should be enclosed in quotation marks: ‘like this’. If they exceed three lines, they should be in a separate paragraph, without quotation marks and without indentation (which will be applied when typeset). To introduce an explanatory term within a quotation, square brackets should be used, as in the following example: ‘The link between this [special situation] and the agent's goal...’. Quotations must include their reference at the end in accordance with the citation model (see point 8 of these guidelines). This also applies to footnotes that refer to a work.
8. The citation format for bibliographic references is (Author's surname, year: page), following the APA 7th edition guidelines. These can be consulted at https://normas-apa.org. The bibliographic references used in the preparation of articles or reviews must be presented in a final list, using the established APA format and arranged alphabetically by author. If more than one work by the same author is included, the references shall be ordered chronologically according to the date of publication. As Differenz. Revista internacional de estudios heideggerianos y sus derivas contemporáneas is a journal specialising in the philosophy of Heidegger, it is recommended that this author be cited in accordance with the edition of his complete works in German (Gesamtausgabe) published by Klostermann Verlag. Citations included in the body of the text should be cited according to the volume of the GA to which they belong (GA X: p).

All of this is always done in accordance with the established frequency in a timely manner.

10. The editors are not responsible for any errors that may have crept in due to failure to follow these instructions. In the event of difficulties with deciphering, interpretation, format, etc., they will request the author by email to send a new file, and if they do not receive it within a week, they will understand that the author has withdrawn the work from publication.
