The collection publishes monographs that reveal historical documents of medieval and modern times, previously unpublished, that, in connection with the general historical discourse, represent a novel and relevant contribution to the historiographic debate.  The texts should be preceded by one or more studies related to the problem under analysis.  The collection is aimed primarily at academics and researchers in the areas of Medieval, Modern and American History, as well as the appeal that certain titles may have for a wider audience, such as those dealing with the history of the Basque Country.

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

The series aims to publish at least two books a year. The original texts will undergo a double-blind peer review process.

All titles published to date correspond to the subject and editorial policy of the Collection.

4.2. Functions

The Scientific Committee for the series is an advisory and consultative body to the Series Director.

Its main function is to advise on how to improve the quality of the series and propose external evaluators. Its members do not carry out the function of external evaluators, except in cases where, given their knowledge on certain subjects, their opinions are essential.

Originals should be sent to the Editorial Service address, along with the duly completed publication request form, in which the following information must be specified: personal data, complete title of the work, scientific interest, target audience and possible commercial reach of same.  Also included should be a brief curriculum of the author. 

Works may be written by one author, or a collective.

The texts presented must be completed in their entirety (wording, notes, bibliography, indices, illustrations, etc.).

Originals should be submitted with 2 copies in electronic format: ".doc" and ".pdf", to the Editorial Service's e-mail address at the University of the Basque Country, (argitaletxea.erregistroa@ehu.eus / registro.editorial@ehu.eus). The Editorial Service may request a printed copy of the work if it considers it necessary.

Manuscripts must be written in Times New Roman, font size 12 for text and size 10 for notes.

Any images, figures and illustrations accompanying the text must be of good quality and in one of the following formats: ".jpg", ".pdf", ".eps", ".tif", ".ai", ".psd", ".hmp ", and of high resolution. They should be sent on CD or other labelled media, indicating the title and programmes used. 

In all cases, the original must conform to the standards set out in Annex I to the  Manual de Publicaciones del Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco. (Editorial Service's Guide to Style, University of the Basque Country).

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 Series Managers.
• Having passed this first filter, the Editorial Service Managers and the Series Managers, in consultation with the Advisory Committee, will choose two people as external evaluators specialising in the subject in question. The Editorial Service Managers will request the reviewers to submit their reports within a period of no more than sixty days from the sending of the original work.
• On reviewing the external evaluation reports, the Series Managers, after consulting with the Evaluation Committee, 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 Directors 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.
