Submissions

Author Guidelines

The Revista de Estudios Europeos is open to any specialist in contemporary processes of European integration and unification. The papers are accepted on the basis of the interest and scientific quality.

Click on "Submit a paper" to start submitting your paper (either a paper or a review) and follow the instructions. The system will guide you to complete the submission.

In step 3 do not forget to indicate your first and last name and e-mail address, and include the title of the paper, the keywords and the abstracts in Spanish and English. To do this, select the "Spanish" language in the box that will appear at the top of the page and include the data in Spanish; then select the English language in the same box and enter the data in English. You must also fill in the "Affiliation" box, indicating the name and mailing address of your institution and your academic category, as well as your ORCID identification number (if you have one).

In the event that the articles are signed by more than one person, their authors must inform about the criteria chosen regarding the order of signature and about the specific contribution made by each participant. That information should be in a footnote at the beginning of the article. To guarantee anonymity in the evaluation, it must be included after the article has passed the evaluation.

Evaluation

The total evaluation time for submitted articles will be approximately six months. Papers that do not conform to the "Format and Editorial Guidelines" and the way of citing the bibliography indicated on this web page will not be accepted or evaluated.

Papers will be analysed with a plagiarism prevention tool. The journal management may reject papers if it considers that they present plagiarism or a high number of coincidences with other texts.

In order to maintain anonymity in the evaluation, authors are advised to avoid quoting themselves in the first person and not to include data in the article that would allow them to be identified (if the article passes the evaluation, personal data may be added before publication).

Articles that comply with the format and editorial guidelines will be subject to a twofold evaluation process:

Initially, the members of the journal's editorial team and editorial board will make a selection of the works received, assessing whether each article meets the following requirements: 1. The work is strictly in line with the journal's themes (issues related to contemporary processes of European integration and unification); 2. The bibliography is consistently cited and conforms to the standard, and the article has sufficient bibliographical support; 4. It can be evaluated anonymously (as there are no clues to the identity of the author); and 5. It meets the standard required of academic articles, and is not an essayistic or literary article, nor a synthesis of the state of the question it deals with, but constitutes a contribution of interest and real relevance.In this first phase, articles may be assessed as follows: "Passes the first selection" / "Passes the first selection if modifications are made" / "Does not pass the first selection". In the second case ("Passes the first selection if modifications are made"), the authors will have a maximum period of one month to make the suggested modifications.

In a second stage, the articles that have passed the first selection will be evaluated anonymously by two specialists in the corresponding area of knowledge, external to the journal's publishing institution. The external reviewers will fill in an evaluation form in which they will rate (according to the scale: N=not at all / P=poor / S=sufficient / B=sufficient / B=somewhat / M=very much) the following aspects of the article: 1. Originality and scientific interest; 2.Likewise, the persons carrying out the evaluation will have a space on the form in which to make any indications, suggestions or corrections they consider appropriate.

In the case of contradictory reports, the Editorial Board will request a third report.
Papers with two positive reports will be sent to their authors so that they can make any corrections suggested in them.The authors will have a maximum period of one month to return the corrected articles, together with a report indicating the changes made in the light of any suggestions made in the evaluation reports. After assessing this report and any changes made to the article, a final decision will be taken on its publication, which will be communicated to the author. The decision of the Editorial Board is final.

The journal will endeavour to speed up the evaluation process. Authors are requested not to send their article to another journal until the result of the evaluation is known.
