Author Guidelines
TRANSPORTES, SERVICIOS Y TELECOMUNICACIONES
Papers
1. TST is a journal dedicated to the publication of
research papers about the history of transports, services and
telecommunications. The first issue appeared in 2001 and it is a
biannual publication (March and October). It may also publish
monographic issues in January.
2. The Journal will publish those original papers
(written in any official language of the European Union) that
have the academic and scientific accuracy, which are related to
the study of transports, services and telecommunications from a
historical perspective.
3. Papers shall be submitted by e-mail, in Word format or
similar, to editor@tstrevista.com. Texts must be single-spaced
typewritten in 12 points size, with a maximum of 12,000 words
including footnotes, charts, maps, graphs and bibliography.
4. The first page shall contain the title of the paper
and the personal details of the author(s): academic affiliation,
business address, contact telephone and e-mail address, and two
abstracts written in Spanish and English no longer than 200
words; as well as the reference of four keywords and four JEL
codes in both languages.
5. Include reference citations in the text, indicating
the surname(s) of the author(s) and the year of publication, as
well as the pages if necessary. Example: Salerno (2002, p. 220).
If the work cited is by three or more authors, give the
surname(s) of the first author only, followed by “et al.” If
several articles by the same author(s) published in the same
year are mentioned, add the letters a, b, c (etc.) to the end of
the year.
Specify the sources (archives, newspaper libraries, businesses,
etc.) consulted in a section before the reference list.
Limit the final reference list to the publications actually
cited, separating the primary archive sources from the secondary
references for books, articles and so forth.
List the references alphabetically, according to the following
models:
Book: Persson, Karl Gunnar, 1999. Grain markets in Europe 1500-1900. Cambridge University Press.
Collective books: Bardet, Jean-Pierre et Jacques Dupâquier, 1997 (dir.). Histoire des populations européennes, t. 1: Des origines aux prémices de la révolution démographique. Fayard, Paris

For any other type of documentation or source used (working
papers, electronic texts, presentations in congresses,
legislation, etc.), follow the Harvard style rules for
references or the author-year system.
6. In-text quotations shall always be in inverted commas
and the comments introduced by the author must be in square
brackets so as to clearly distinguish them from the quoted text.
If the author chooses to separate the quotations from the body
of the text, these must appear in an independent paragraph, also
in inverted commas, indented 1 cm, and 10 points type.
7. Notes shall be put at the foot of the page, numbered
consecutively with Arabic numerals and in superscript.
Bibliographic citations should include the surname of the
author(s), year of publication and page number(s). Example:
Salerno (2002, p. 220).
8. Charts, graphs and other critical apparatus must be

titles, with the sources being clearly stated.
