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.
Got a response 4 months after submission with some bibliographic changes that needed fixing. Received an email 4 months later stating article was printed and they needed my mailing address to send two copies of the issue. Professional rapport and a good specialized place to publish. Good statistics and distribution to bolster a tenure case.
Buena revista para empezar a publicar.
ReplyDeletethey have good accept/reject statistics so i am assuming it is a good venue for publication. any experiences with their editorial procedures?

I do not think pubs here will "bolster" many tenure cases.
