Política de supervisión ética

Journal's code of ethics

Review obligations

The peer review process responds only to the intellectual content of the manuscript without regard to the author's gender, class, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, nationality or ideology. Articles submitted for publication in EU-topías. A Journal on Interculturality, Communication and European Studies undergo a double-blind peer review process in which the anonymity of both the author and the reviewers is respected.

The journal's management and editorial board select the reviewers of the manuscripts, who are always experts in the subject matter of the text in question. The journal's management and editorial board are responsible for guaranteeing maximum anonymity between authors and reviewers, ruling out the choice of a reviewer who has personal, work or institutional relations with the corresponding author.

The management and editorial board are committed to the confidentiality of all information relating to the articles submitted, which will be known only to the authors and blind peers.

The peer review process will take a maximum of two months. The editorial board is not responsible for delays in blind peer review.

Responsibility of evaluators

Information concerning manuscripts submitted by authors is privileged information and must be treated as such, i.e. with absolute confidentiality. The texts may not be shown, disseminated or discussed: the only exception is reserved for cases in which the specific advice of an expert in the field is required. However, the journal's management will be informed of the identity of the expert consulted.

The evaluation of the manuscript is carried out rigorously, objectively and with respect for the intellectual independence of the authors. The reviewers' comments must be clear and based on academic arguments with the aim of improving the article.

If a reviewer considers that he or she does not have sufficient expertise to review the article, he or she must immediately notify the journal's management. In addition, reviewers who have a particular conflict of interest with any of the authors, companies or institutions cited in the article must immediately refuse to review the article.

Obligations and editorial responsibility of the management and editorial board

The journal's management and editorial board reserve the right to refuse to publish a manuscript if they consider that it does not follow the fundamental parameters of scientific texts or if it does not fall within the areas of interculturality, communication or European studies.

The management and the editorial board are bound by the code of ethics in the process of developing and publishing the journal. All appropriate measures will be taken in the event of malpractice, infringement of authorship and plagiarism.

The journal's management guarantees the journal's independence from any economic interest that would compromise the intellectual and ethical foundations of the journal, as well as ensuring its ethical integrity and the quality of the published material.

The journal management and editorial board will only publish original and peer-reviewed contributions. Exceptionally, the Gran Angular section may accept the English or Spanish version of an article that is considered interesting and is not available in any of the languages of the journal. This circumstance will have the explicit authorisation of the author and will be reflected in a footnote on the first page of the article.
