Procedure and arbitration
All new contributors must register at http://letrashistoricas.cucsh.udg.mx/index.php/LH/user/register by completing the registration form.
Once a username and password have been generated, contributors must access the Personal Area of the journal, where they will have the option to submit their proposal under New Submission.
Through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform of Letras Históricas, authors will be able to transparently track the peer review process to which their submissions will be subjected.
Only articles submitted through this platform and that meet all the requirements stated herein will be accepted.
Once a submission has been sent, the authors agree not to submit it simultaneously for consideration by other publications.
If an article is accepted for publication, the author agrees not to publish it elsewhere, in the same form, without the consent of the Editorial Board.
The acceptance of submissions depends on the confidential evaluation of two anonymous specialists, who may or may not be external to the institution that publishes this journal. The evaluation results will determine whether the submission:
A) May be published without modifications.
B) May be published after incorporating the required modifications.
C) Requires substantial modifications and is not recommended for publication.
In the event of conflicting evaluations, the manuscript will be sent to a third reviewer, whose decision will determine its acceptance or rejection.
Authors will receive this information in an evaluation report within a maximum of six months, although this timeframe may vary depending on the number of articles in the review queue. Letras Históricas reserves the right to advance or postpone the publication of accepted articles.
For manuscripts that receive a favourable evaluation, the Editor may request additional modifications based on the reviewers' reports. After these changes are made, the text will be reviewed again by the Editor, who may issue a final acceptance letter. Once accepted, no further modifications will be allowed.
If the peer review outcome is favourable, the author must submit the revised version of the text, incorporating the requested modifications, within 20 days of receiving the editorial notification.
Along with the revised text, the author must submit a document detailing the changes made.
The journal's editorial team reserves the right to make stylistic and editorial changes deemed necessary to improve the manuscript.
The content of published articles is the sole responsibility of the authors. However, Letras Históricas requires contributors to transfer copyright to the journal through a copyright agreement, which will be sent as part of the editorial process. This agreement allows the journal to publish, reproduce, edit, and publicly distribute the work.
