Author Guidelines

Peer review system

First,  manuscripts will be evaluated according to their adequacy to the formal guidelines specified for each category: Studies and Notes, Pearls / Thought Fragments and Reviews. If inadequacies are detected, they will be sent back to the authors for correction.

The manuscripts that conform to the formal guidelines will be sent to external reviewers. In the case of Studies or Notes, two anonymous reviewers will be called, in the case of Reviews, one. In the case of Pearls / Thought Fragments, the Editorial Committee will evaluate their relevance and,  if  necessary, will eventually require external reviewers.

The reviews will be in charge of academics especially summoned by the editorial committee for each work through the double-blind reference system. In this way, it is intended to maintain the anonymity of both the evaluators and the authors. Therefore, texts should avoid any explicit reference to the author. When citing your own texts, replace your name with the word "author".

The reviews can give the following results:

(a) Publishable without modifications.

(b) Publishable with modifications.

(c) Not publishable.

If two favorable reviews are obtained (a), the text will be published and the author will be informed of the expected date of publication.

If at least one of the peer reviewers considers modifications necessary (b), the work will be sent again to the author for correction or a response. The deadline for this response is 3 weeks from receipt of the reviews.  

A unanimous negative review (c) implies, without appeal, the non-publication of the work.

The Editorial Committee retains the right to summon a new evaluator in case of discrepancies between both reviews.

Before publication, the Editorial Committee or its designees will make formal corrections and adjustments.

In the case of submissions for book reviews, the process follows according to the opinion of the sole evaluator.

We then add some indications on 3) the citation of documents and specific bibliography related to Hannah Arendt.
