1. CORRESPONDENCE.

 Manuscripts must always be sent to: lanotaria@catalunya.notariado.org.

The first page must necessarily include the title, the full name of the author, contact information, an email address, and optionally, up to three half-lines (aligned to the right margin) with other identifying information.

2. SUBMISSION AND FORMAT.

Manuscripts must be submitted by email and necessarily in Word format (exceptionally and with prior authorization, convertible formats may be accepted).

3. LENGTH OF THE WORKS.

The works must be original, not previously published in print or any other format; acceptance will be automatically revoked if published elsewhere in the meantime, except —with prior authorization— in languages not used by the journal or in unusual formats.

- Doctrinal articles should have a length of approximately 30 standard pages (including notes, conclusions, bibliography, and even annexes), in Times New Roman 12, single spacing, with footnotes in Times New Roman 10.

- Practical articles should not exceed 10–15 pages.

- Case law or decision commentaries should be approximately 5 pages, always structured with the corresponding headings and subheadings.

4. ACCEPTANCE.

The journal’s editorial office will acknowledge receipt of submitted works by email and will send them for confidential review. The review results will be communicated to the authors (as soon as possible, following usual procedures) and will be one of the following:

- Acceptance of the work and the issue in which it will be published.

- Conditional acceptance, subject to length or presentation adjustments.

- Non-acceptance of the paper.

5. PUBLICATION.

The issue where accepted papers will be published will be indicated, except in exceptional cases where postponement is necessary, which will be communicated with sufficient notice.

6. EDITING RULES.

Articles may be submitted in any language. La Notaria reserves the right to publish the articles in both Catalan and Spanish. All articles must include a bibliography section, which is not required for practical pieces or commentaries on decisions or rulings.

- Bold text is not allowed (except in headings or subheadings), nor is underlining under any circumstances.

- Footnotes: Notes will be numbered in Arabic numerals, superscript format, in ascending order.

- Citations: References will follow usual rules depending on whether they refer to books, journal articles, articles in collective works, internet sources, or electronic journals, indicating surnames in uppercase; first names are not necessary unless to avoid confusion. Any changes or comments within literal citations must be enclosed in brackets.
