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.
I have had a great experience with Textos Híbridos. They responded to my submission a month and a half after the submission deadline and had a quick turn around for publication. I also received good feedback from the editorial board.
I submitted my article to the journal in early March and received an immediate email to acknowledge receipt of the manuscript. Within eight weeks the editorial board had reached a decision. I received good feedback for edits and changes to the final version of the article. The article was published soon thereafter. The entire process was very professional and quick in comparison to many journals. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience to submit my work here.
