Historia Medieval y Moderna

Medieval & Modern History Series

 

          

1. Series Guidelines

In the Medieval and Modern History Series we publish original research monographs and collective works on Spanish, European or American historical subjects from medieval and modern times. Preferably, it welcomes works that approach, from different methodological perspectives, subjects such as the political and ideological constructions and representations, spaces and forms of power, social history, economic history, history of population, of migratory processes, of groups and of social conflicts, of gender, social networks, religiosity and daily life. The collection is mainly aimed at academics and researchers in the areas of Medieval, Modern and American History, as well as certain titles which may appeal to a broader audience, such as those dealing with the History of the Basque Country.

Works submitted to the Series must be the result of original research and may not have been published previously in any other medium of communication.

The aim of the Series is to publish at least two titles per year.  The original texts will undergo a double-blind peer review process.

All titles published to date correspond to the subject matter and editorial policy of the Series. By also including subjects related to the History of America, some titles may exceed the intended temporal scope, especially those referring to the issue of emigration.

6. Information on the manuscript selection process

The process for presentation and evaluation of originals will be governed by the principles of rigour, transparency and guarantee of anonymity of the evaluation, and will be carried out by means of the procedure of double-blind peer evaluation.

The evaluation process will proceed as follows:

  • The Editorial Service Managers will carry out the initial analysis regarding the suitability of the work, after consulting with the Editorial Board Commission for the field of study to which the work belongs, and the Series Director.
  • If the response is affirmative, the Editorial Service Managers and the Series Director will select four people as external evaluators from the specialists in the subject matter: two referees and two backup referees. The Editorial Service will request the reviewers to submit their report within a period not exceeding sixty days after the original work has been sent. Upon acceptance of the reviewers, the contacts established between them and the Editorial Service will be made via e-mail.
  • On reviewing the external evaluation reports, the relevant Commission and the Series Director, will decide whether or not to accept the publication:
    • The issuance of two favourable reports would recommend the publication of the work, which may be subject to modifications based on the suggestions and recommendations contained in the external evaluation reports.
    • The issuance of two unfavourable reports would advise against publication of the work.
    • In the event of a conflict between one favourable and one unfavourable evaluation, a third report may be requested.

Once the evaluation process has been completed, the Series Editors will communicate by e-mail to the author, in the light of the aforementioned evaluations, the decision whether or not to accept the manuscript and, if accepted, any proposed corrections.

Should the work require corrections, these would be forwarded by e-mail to the Editorial Service Managers within a period of no more than 30 days from the date of receipt of notification of corrections. The author(s) will resend the revised manuscript, with the corrections clearly made and indicated.
