Review Process
Each article will be examined by two experts in the field following a double-blind peer review process (and preserving the anonymity of the authors and reviewers). The review process is as follows:
Initial review
The editor-in-chief evaluates each manuscript to determine whether its topic and content are suitable for consideration by Acta Hispanica.
Peer review
Each manuscript is reviewed by independent evaluators selected from among internationally recognised experts in the field. If the decisions of the reviewers do not coincide, the article is sent to a third reviewer. The criteria/aspects of the evaluation include the relevance of the subject matter, originality and novelty of the content, scientific and methodological rigour, argumentative ability, coherence of the text, clarity of exposition, writing and style, citations in accordance with editorial standards, relevance and adequacy of the bibliography, and conclusions.
Recommendation
Based on the comments of the reviewers, the editor-in-chief makes the final decision:
- accept the submission,
- minor revisions are required,
- major revisions are required,
- decline the submission.
