• A minimum total length of 10,000 characters and a maximum of 25,000 characters with spaces.
• Title of the work (in Spanish and English), centered and in size 16.
• The legend: Original material authorized for its first publication in the journal Ciencia y Tecnología of the School of Engineering at the Universidad de Palermo.
• The indication of the specific thematic field to which the manuscript subscribes, according to the focus of the journal.
• Summary (in Spanish and English) between 100 and 250 words.
• Four key words (in Spanish and English) separated by semicolons and in lower case.

Selectivity, sensitivity and the detection limit are three clear factors related to the capacity of chemical agents (López Sardi et al., 2017).

- In-text citations of less than 40 words, they are incorporated into the text, enclosed in double quotation marks and the specific page (p.) or pages (pp.) of the citation are indicated.
Example:
"En la tecnología fotovoltaica se habla de tres generaciones: células de silicio (alta efciencia y altos costos), tecnología de película fina (disminuye costos y eficiencia menor) y tecnología conceptual (alta eficiencia en estudio y menor costo)" (Sandoval-Ruiz, 2020, p. 34).

- Quotations longer than 40 words: they are included in a separate block. Start on a new line, indenting it 2.54 spaces from the left margin, omitting double quotes and single spacing. The precise page(s) from which the quote is taken must also be duly indicated.
