 4. Standards for citing references in the body of the article

Papers submitted must comply with the following reference standards according to the seventh edition of thePublication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2019).

4.1. Single author text

All quotes, whether textual or paraphrased, must have a reference at the end, which is the information that will help the reader to know the source from which the quote was taken. This reference will be indicated at the end of the citation, noting the author's last name in parentheses, followed by the year of publication and the page number:

"We need to rethink the model of a prison surveillance judge, because this is not an administrative issue, the execution of the courts is part of the jurisdictional power and we have to see role models" (San Martín, 2017, p. 38).

However, when the author's name is mentioned before the citation is inserted, it will no longer be necessary to include their last name in the parenthetical reference:

Judge César San Martín (2017) proposes that "We need to rethink the model of a prison surveillance judge, because this is not an administrative issue, the execution of the courts is part of the jurisdictional power and we have to see role models" (p. 38).

If the cited author has more than one text in the references, the year of publication identifies the cited text. And if there is a coincidence of author and year, the reference is identified by means of a lowercase letter (a, b, etc.):

«According to paragraph 1 of article 28 of the Political Constitution of Peru, the State guarantees the right to freedom of association. This guarantee is manifested not only in the protection of leaders against anti-union acts, but also in the recognition of certain prerogatives so that said leaders can effectively exercise their representation activity, as well as in facilities for the operation of the union organization. Among these facilities are the union license or permit and the union fee” (Arévalo, 2019a, p. 94).

«In Roman law, a distinction was made between the leasing of things and the leasing of services. By the lease of things(rental lease of property) The landlord promised to grant the driver the temporary enjoyment of a movable thing (animals and slaves were included) or immovable property, in exchange for which he received a money income calledwages» (Arévalo, 2019b, p. 23).

4.2. Text by two authors

If the quoted text has two authors, their surnames will be separated by the conjunction "and".

Likewise, for this oral civil process to be viable, it is essential that the organization of judicial offices be changed or varied from the traditional model that exists to date. Indeed, organizationally, in this type of oral proceedings, as has been said, the central milestone is no longer the file, but the hearing; therefore, the resources of the Court must be placed based on the most effective and efficient organization of the hearing" (Bustamante and Angulo, 2020, p. 34).

4.3. Multiple author text

If the cited text has three or more authors, place the last name of the first author followed by the abbreviation et al. (without italics and with a period after al):

 «Being clear about the existence of international law has facilitated (and probably has encouraged) directing the gaze from the core of the discipline towards its borders and limits. We are clear that it is right and perhaps that is why we are wondering if that answer will not be too categorical. Public international law is law, but is it just law? Is it an exclusively legal phenomenon? And from the previous questions: what are the methodological frontiers for research on international law?» (Lucas et al., 2019, p. 389).

4.4. Text by an institutional author

If the cited text does not contain the name of the author, the name of the institution or entity responsible for the publication will be placed:

 In the case of first and second instance judicial appointments, these were "ratified by the Supreme Court every five years" (Congress of the Republic, 1929, articles 148 and 152).

«Although the higher jurisdictional plenary sessions began in the 1990s, it will be from the present century, that they will have regularity and vocation of permanence in practice. For the first time, plenary sessions have been organized exclusively on administrative and commercial contentious matters, and commercial sexual exploitation and abuse of children and adolescents” (Poder Judicial, 2012, p. 19).

«The autograph manuscript “Russia before the Second Five-Year Plan (1932-1933)”, by the Peruvian writer César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza, is declared Cultural Heritage of the Nation» (El Peruano, 2019, p. 17).

  4.5. How to insert the quotes

If the verbatim quote is less than five lines long, it is marked with quotation marks and incorporated as part of the text:

The President of the Judiciary, in his Message to Peru, announced that "a project for a green area on the roof of this Palace of Justice, which was previously a junkyard, is underway, as well as the installation of the first Solar Panel in the Judiciary" (Rodríguez, 2017, p. 26).

If the literal quote exceeds five lines in length, it must go without quotation marks and in a separate paragraph, indented to the left, with line spacing and smaller font (Times New Roman 10):

 The President of the Judiciary, in his Message to Peru, announced that:

 A project for a green area on the roof of this Palace of Justice, which was previously a junkyard, is underway, as well as the installation of the first Solar Panel in the Judiciary, which will light up at least the Presidency of the Supreme Court with clean energy, while at the same time being a message to the judges of Peru so that they assume the defense of the environment as a legal right and the health of our great home that is planet Earth (Rodríguez, 2017, pp. 26-29).

It should be noted that it is not necessary to use the ellipsis (...) at the beginning or at the end of the literal quote unless, in order to prevent a misinterpretation, it is required to emphasize that the quote begins or begins in the middle of the sentence.

 4.6. Citations of online material without pagination

All quotes from online texts must have a reference at the end, which is the information that will serve to know the source from which the quote was taken. This reference will be indicated at the end of the citation, noting the author's last name in parentheses, followed by the year of publication and the number of the paragraph, using the abbreviation (para.), since many electronic sources do not provide page numbers:

 "The work that the Judiciary of Peru is doing on the Brasilia Rules deserves more than symbolic recognition, because its advances in terms of implementation and awareness of these rules place it at the forefront, at the forefront, being a benchmark for all Ibero-American countries" (Martínez, 2020, para. 3).

In cases where the online text has many paragraphs, you can include the subtitle of the text in parentheses, in order to direct the reader to the location of the quoted text more precisely:

 "That the Judiciary legitimize itself socially and that its structures be transformed for this is something that the country demands and looks forward to, almost as if it were looking for a reformer who would nail 95 theses to the doors of the Palace that express their fury and despair, but also their hope in the essential change" (Calderón, 2020, "El necesario cambio", para. 4).

 4.7. Paraphrase the summary

If the quote is not literal and the idea is paraphrased or summarized, it is recommended to indicate the page or paragraph number, as this information will help an interested reader to locate the relevant fragment of a long text.

 Literal quote example:

The president of the Judiciary, in his Message to Peru, announced that "a project for a green area on the roof of this Palace of Justice, which was previously a junkyard, is underway, as well as the installation of the first Solar Panel in the Judiciary" (Rodríguez, 2017, p. 26).

 Example of paraphrasing:

The president of the Judiciary, in his Message to Peru, affirmed that the first solar panel will be implemented in the Palace of Justice (Rodríguez, 2017, p. 26).

 5. List of final references

At the end of the article, only the references cited in the writing of your text should be included, organized alphabetically. If two or more texts by the same author were cited, they will be ordered by antiquity, starting with the oldest text. And in the event that two or more texts by an author published in the same year are cited, these will be differentiated with the letters a, b, c, etc., after the year of publication:
