Receipt of articles

Revista Latina de Comunicación Social automatically acknowledges receipt of the papers sent by the authors and subsequently informs of the process of estimation/rejection in the first instance, and finally according to the opinion of evaluators of acceptance/rejection, as well as, in case of acceptance, of the editing process, by e-mail through its platform.

The official website (section "Submissions") offers:

  • The obligatory letter of originality and assignment of rights

  • The template for articles and reviews in Word.

  • The pre-submission checklist.

  • A summary of the APA 7th edition.

  • The evaluation form for peer reviewers.

  • The OJS guide for OJS reviewers, as well as the complete.

  • The complete publication guidelines (.PDF).

Within a maximum period of 15 days from the receipt of each paper, the authors will receive notification of receipt, indicating whether the paper is rejected or preliminarily estimated for evaluation by the scientific advisors.

The journal will make a first editorial evaluation consisting of checking the adequacy of the article to the thematic profile, its interest according to the editorial criteria of the journal (number of authors, internationality of these, if the article is funded in any research project, etc.), as well as compliance with the formal presentation requirements demanded in the rules of publication.

In the event that the manuscript presents formal deficiencies or is not included in the thematic focus of the publication, the Editorial Board will formally or thematically reject the work without the option to return. NO FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE WILL BE MAINTAINED WITH AUTHORS OF REJECTED ARTICLES.

In case the manuscript presents superficial problems of structure and/or form, the editor will send the authors the pertinent suggestions to be corrected before the manuscript is sent for review. In this case, the author will have a maximum of 10 days to submit the corrected manuscript to the editor.

The editor reserves the right to make basic formal modifications, which do not affect the content of the text, in order to expedite the editorial process. The date of receipt of the manuscript will not count until the manuscript has been correctly received.

It is strongly recommended that the manuscript be checked against the self-checker on the platform before submission.

Receipt of the article does not imply its acceptance.

Authors may only publish one article per year, alone or in co-authorship.
