Peer Review Process

Revista Internacional de Sociología will confirm receipt of all original manuscripts received.

The Editorial Board may reject an article without evaluating if it does not adhere rigorously to the guidelines, both formal and content, or if its contents do not fall within the scope of the journal.

After this preliminary analysis all articles will be submitted to an external review according to the double-blind peer review process in which at least two external referees will participate, appealing to a third party if necessary. Those referees should be prestigious researchers specialized in the subject. The anonymity of both the author and the reviewers will be maintained, however, the lists of external reviewers who have collaborated with the journal in previous years will be published periodically, with prior authorization.

At the time of submission, authors may mention up to three possible referees. The persons proposed may not belong to the same university department or research institute, nor may they have published jointly in the last five years, or have participated in the same research project in the last ten years.

The Editorial Board, taking into account the external reports, will make the decision on the publication or rejection of each article.

Authors will be notified on the acceptance or definitive rejection of the article.

Once the evaluation process has been completed and the final acceptance or rejection of the article has been officially communicated, the article will be produced. The final version must be checked and confirmed by the authors, who will be responsible for the final result.

Dates of receipt and approval will be indicated in each published article.
