Peer review process

- All contributions must be original research of attested scientific quality. These must therefore be subjected to a peer-review, double-blind review process by external reviewers proposed by the editors of the volume, in accordance with their area of expertise.

- Papers will be sent through the journal's OJS platform, after the authors have registered.

- Editors will receive the articles and make sure that they conform to the scientific rigour and style guidelines of the journal. Should articles not conform to these requirements, editors will ask authors to amend or correct the articles (within a month at a maximum). Otherwise, the article will be rejected.

- After the first selection and review by editors, all articles will be submitted to an anonymous (confidential) external review.

- All articles will be submitted to double-blind peer review by two reviewers. It is mandatory that at least one of the reviewers is external to the FFTiC. Gender parity will be taken into account in the selection of referees, so that at least 40% of the total number of referees for each volume will be women.

- Quaderns de Filologia will provide reviewers with an evaluation form including questions on thematic, formal and content aspects of the reviewed articles.

- Reviewers will be insightful in their comments and corrections of the articles, and their reviews will be taken into account in final acceptance for publication or rejection.
