For Internet sources is recommended to include as much information as possible (author, date, name of page, URL/URI, publisher, etc.). It is not necessary to include the date of access, except when it is not possible to determine a date.

When several works by an author are included, the name should be repeated each time (not replaced by hyphens). Names should be sorted alphabetically by the author's surname (and chronologically within an author). If an author has several works in the same year, works shoud be distinguished by a lower case letter after the year (2019a, 2019b).

If the paper is accompanied by data, Estudios Hispánicos recommends depositing it in the Zenodo repository and including the DOI of the repository record in the paper.

Estudios Hispánicos has a bibliographic style sheet in the CSL repository. Citation Style Language can be used in reference management software (Zotero, Mendeley, Papers) for the automatic generation of the reference list. It is possible to access the style sheet directly from management software.
