The Editorial Administrative Department is responsible for receiving the original articles, and ensuring that publication rules are observed, submitting papers to the Editorial Board and to the external assessors appointed in each case, as well as ensuring that articles are returned to their authors for the purposes of correction.

Originals submitted for publication are subject to double-blind peer reviewing, with a third referee involved if contradictory reports have been delivered. A compromise to inform prospective authors of the evaluation results is also assumed.

Originality. The articles submitted should be both original and hitherto unpublished. In the case of results of a research project this fact should be indicated by means of a footnote on the first page, indicating the name of the project, key or reference, and the funding source as well as the name of the principal researcher.

Text. Texts shall be published in either Spanish or English. The text of the article, including notes, bibliography, summaries, tables, images, photographs, figures and captions, will be sent via e-mail (cespejo@um.es - ramongm@um.es) using a standard word processing programme, always indicating the programme and version used.
