Peer Review Process
Authors will receive communication during the process of reception, review and publication.
Articles follow the following evaluation process:
1- Two external experts at the University of Barcelona (as well as externe at the Editorial Boards) evaluate the works anonymously (double-blind). The editorial team reserves the right to assign evaluators from the University of Barcelona in those cases where the topic of the article is very specific and requires a specialist who belongs to the University.
2- Eventually, a second round of review can be requested with evaluators who may be external or from the University, if the editorial team considers that they are specialists in very specific topics presented in the articles.
