Articles submitted to WYD must be unpublished and original, and not postulated simultaneously in other journals. WYD publishes five types of articles:

1) Research article. It is that research that presents original results obtained from quantitative or qualitative research.

These articles should have a structure consisting of: a) introduction; b) literature review; c) methodology, d) analysis of results; e) conclusions, limitations and implications; and f) references.

2) Article of Review. It is research that carries out an analysis and review of existing literature on a particular subject or theory. Its aim is to synthesize studies of a topic, to update the reader on the state of the art. In this type of article a bibliographic review of at least 50 references must be presented.

3) Article of Reflection. It is research that presents results derived from a finished research and/or several publications that support a line of scientific thought. This type of research is based on an analytical, interpretive or critical perspective of the author, on a specific topic, using original sources.

4) Theoretical article. It is that research that analyzes the existing literature to advance in a new theoretical proposal. In this type of research it should be emphasized what is the existing vacuum, and in reason of this to show that the new finding contributes with the body of knowledge of the study area.
