Call for volume 2 (2027). Submissions until 30 September 2027.
Peer review policy
Type of review
All papers submitted to the research, essay and teaching experience sections undergo double-blind peer review: reviewers do not know the authors' identity, and authors do not know the reviewers'.
Editorials and book reviews are not externally reviewed; they are accepted by the editorial team, and each published piece states this explicitly.
Stages of the process
| # | Stage | What happens | Estimated time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Initial screening | The editorial team checks that the paper fits the journal's scope and the author guidelines, and runs the originality check. | 15 days |
| 2 | Reviewer assignment | The paper is assigned to two reviewers who are specialists in the topic and who accept or decline the invitation. | 2 weeks |
| 3 | External review | Both reviewers submit a reasoned report. If the reports conflict, a third reviewer is consulted. | 4 weeks |
| 4 | Editorial decision | The outcome may be acceptance, acceptance with minor revisions, major revisions with a new review, or rejection. It is sent to the author with the anonymized reports. | — |
| 5 | Copyediting and publication | Accepted papers are copyedited and typeset, and the author receives a final proof. | — |
Safeguard
The editorial system does not allow a paper to move to production without at least two complete reports.
Review criteria
Reviewers first assess the paper's relevance to the journal, its originality and its contribution to the field. They then examine its methodological rigor and clarity, together with the relevance and verifiability of the sources cited and the academic integrity of the work.
Reviewer selection
Reviewers are chosen for their recognized expertise and for having no ties to the authors: they may not belong to the same institution, have co-authored with them in the last five years or have supervised their academic work. Authors may suggest reviewers, but the final choice rests with the editorial team.
Review form and list of reviewers
The review form that reviewers complete is public, together with the timelines for each stage. When each issue closes, the journal publishes the list of its reviewers, with their institution and country, without stating which paper each person reviewed.
