Journal History

 

 

 

 

 

 

This journal was born in 1980 as Cuadernos de Filología. A second era started in 1995 under the name Quaderns de Filologia, with the publication of two annual series: Studies in Linguistics (1995- ) and Studies in Literature (1995- ). There is a third series: Communication Studies, biannual, which is currently inactive.

 

As stated in its Bylaws, the journal management team is made up of a General Editor (designated by the Vice-Dean of Postgraduate Studies and Research of the Facultat de Filologia, Traducció i Comunicació), an Editorial Secretary (designated by the General Editor), and an independent Scientific Committee of renowned scholars and specialists, with no institutional relation with the journal. Besides, each of its series counts on an Editorial Board composed of members of all the departments in the Faculty and an equal number of external members.

 

Each volum of Quaderns de Filologia, in each of its series, has a monographic character. The editors for each volume are, as stated in the bylaws, an external scholar or researcher and at least a scholar or researcher of the Faculty, both specialists in the topic of the journal and in charge of the selection of the articles. On their own request and under the approval of the Editorial Board of each series, editors prepare the volumes. Since 2004, the volumes meet the quality standards of scientific publications (as established by ANECA), with a percentage of original manuscripts higher than 80% and also with more than an 80% of contributions external to the Editorial Board and to the management team.

 

Since vol. IX (2004), submissions and double-blind, peer-review, thus ensuring the required quality for scientific publications. The journal is currently published in open access (OJS), with a hard-copy publication of 150 issues for exchange with other national and international universities and libraries. These issues are distributed by the UV Publication Services (PUV), with the possibility of print-on-demand.
