After extensive searching on the Internet, I failed to find a venue for Hispanists to share with colleagues their myriad of experiences with publishing, particularly the handling of the review and publication processes by refereed journals. My motive is not to encourage irrational venting sessions for rejected authors, but to prompt an intelligent and useful exchange that might assist scholars with choosing prospective journals that exemplify professionalim and integrity; journals that conduct the entire review process expeditiously and provide authors with useful feedback for improving their manuscripts. Many true horror stories have been shared at academic conferences and within language and literature departments across the country, and these should indeed be shared here to help each other avoid potential pitfalls. Besides assisting our fellow scholars, if this blog also succeeds at ultimately improving the management of certain refereed journals, then many in the profession will benefit.
Me impresionó mucho esta revista. Los lectores ofrecieron excelentes suegerencias y los redactores le invirtieron mucho tiempo en corregir y prestar atención a los detalles. Altamente recomendado. Muy buena experiencia.
Muy buena revista y muy buena experiencia. Me contestaron rápida y amablemente. Son muy profesionales, y los lectores dan comentarios y sugerencias muy útiles.
They do not accept new contributions. When you send something, you received an automatic message that says they are not accepting new submissions, which seems awkward and unprofessional to me.
Extremely professional and detail oriented. The reader comments were in depth, excellent and extremely useful. Demanding revisions, but worth the end result.
Bad news... according to the editor, they are no longer publishing this journal... too much time consuming. Nevertheless, they don´t close the door to perhaps re-booting it in a year or two.
Contestan muy rapido, en 7-8 semanas. Te mandan comentarios muy detallados y utiles. En general, el proceso esta muy bien organizado.

ReplyDeleteHorrible experiencia. Me aceptaron, pidieron cambios, los hice y luego no lo publicaron. Muy mal trato.
