Peer review process

The texts that make up the scientific corpus of HYBRIDA are research articles. The journal is open to receive articles subject to the monographic theme of the DOSSIER of each issue or free themes to be published as independent documents in the MOSAIC section.

Articles must be original and unpublished. Texts already published, or in press, or not in conformity with the standards of presentation of the texts, will not be accepted.

Papers submitted for inclusion in peer-reviewed sections (DOSSIER, MOSAIC) will first be reviewed by members of the editorial staff, or the advisory board, who will check that the papers do meet the author guidelines and consider its suitability for the journal.

If the articles comply with the journal's guidelines, the texts will be sent to external reviewers (to the publishing institution or to the country), whose identity will remain anonymous, who might approve them, ask for changes or reject them (download evaluation form). If the article is rejected only by one of the reviewers, a third reviewer will evaluate the article.

Authors will have a maximum of three months from the date of communication of the expert opinion to send a new version of the article containing the requested changes. If the new version is not sent within this period, the article will be rejected.

Accepted articles will be published in the following issue once the evaluation process has been completed.

Authors will not be able to send another proposal for publication in the two issues following the article already published. They will therefore have to wait at least one year after the last publication of an article before sending a new text for review.

Publication proposals that disseminate content, opinions or judgments of a racist, xenophobic, sexist, serophobic nature or a phobia against any disease or disability, or that violate the dignity of the people who are members of the LGTBIQ + community (homophobia, transphobia) will be rejected. Proposals that promote hatred towards difference and diversity, that advocate terrorism or violate human rights, as well as those that prejudice fundamental rights and the Statutes of the University of Valencia, will be rejected as well.

Non peer-reviewed articles

Articles sent to all other sections, EDITORIAL, INTRODUCTIONS or FAN (recensions), will be evaluated by the journal’s editorial staff or by members of the advisory board, who will check that articles meet the author guidelines and that are suitable for the journal’s quality and themes. It is advisable to contact the coordinators of each section before writing your text.
