Submission procedure

Articles submitted must be original research, not previously published in another journal or medium; they must not have been published in another language or presented in another journal or medium.

For monographic dossiers, the dossier editor shall propose the contributors. A call for contributions is also published on the Iberic@l web page, for external contributions. The editor of the issue accepts or refuses these proposals for external contributions.

All papers are then subject to double-blind peer review by two peers proposed by the issue editor.

The editorial board verifies the neutrality and competence of the evaluators and has the right to refuse an article that does not meet the scientific requirements of the journal: high scientific quality, high editorial and linguistic quality, bibliographic richness, use of an egalitarian and non-discriminatory language.

With regard to the papers, ‘the Varia, the documents and the reviews’, the editorial board evaluates the proposals to validate or reject them and appoints evaluators for the accepted proposals.
