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.
Es una revista estupenda. El trato con el Dr. Penny y el personal editorial es exquisito. Devolvieron el artículo con sugerencias muy acertadas y mejoró muchísimo. He enviado el producto final como writing sample y me ha abierto muchas puertas.
El HRJ es una versión más "offbeat" y modernizada de otras revistas británicas con más solera, tipo Bulletin of Spanish Studies (Glasgow) o el Bulletin of Hispanic Research (Liverpool).
Desde hace unos años sacan un "visual arts issue" donde he leído algunos artículos muy buenos.
I have worked with this journal on several occasions, and have had an excellent, professional experience. If it were up to me, I would only submit work to HRJ because I know how professional they are. If only other journals were run this well!
The editor of HRJ recently changed, and Dr. Penny is no longer in charge. Under the new editor everything has changed, and writers are no longer sent detailed and respectful responses to their work.
