PEER EVALUATION PROCESS

Articles are first given a general review by the Editorial team to determine whether or not they are suitable for the journal’s thematic content, originality, scientific quality and adherence to the Guidelines for authors. Articles that do not meet any of the above requirements may need to be modified, in which case the authors will be informed, who will have 10 days to make the indicated changes, before beginning the external evaluation process. Also they may be rejected, informing the authors of the reasons for their work does not continue to be valued by the journal. To conduct this initial review, a member of the Scientific Advisory or Editorial Board may be asked to provide assistance.

The texts send to the articles section that have passed the first review stage are then sent for external peer review using the double blind system. The article is sent to two external evaluators specialised in the subject matter and unrelated to the publishing institution of the RITUREM journal and to the institution to which the authors of the article belong. External evaluators, based on their impressions of the work, by completing the review form provided for this purpose. Evaluators are given 4 weeks to complete their work. If they issue conflicting reports, or if deemed appropriate, the article is sent to a third evaluator.

The members of the journal’s Editorial Team responsible for conducting the first revision to the text, chosen according to their areas of specialization, will determine, in general, the external evaluators for each article. The Editorial Team undertakes to guarantee the anonymity of authors and evaluators throughout the whole of the evaluation process or will reject the submission.

Based on the external evaluation reports, the Editorial Team will decide and the chief editor or co-chief editor inform the authors of and provide reasons for their decision, which may be:
• Accept submission (publishable without changes).
• Revisions required (article may be accepted for publication only after some minor modifications indicated). The author/s will have 10 calendar days from the time they are informed to send the article in again with the changes made to the text.
• Resubmit por review / re-assessable (possibility of it being rewritten and sent with a new focus). In this case the Editorial Team, which may ask for help from the Editorial Board, will either decide whether or not the new manuscript is publishable, or if it should be sent for a new external evaluation process.
• Decline submission (not publishable)

Texts sent to the bibliographic and events review section are assessed by the Editorial Team, which may ask the opinion of one or more members of the Editorial Board.
Reviews are not submitted for peer review.
The Editorial Team will inform authors and provide reasons for their bibliographic review being accepted or not, indicating if any changes are needed.
Once the evaluation stage has been successfully completed, authors are sent a sample of their work laid out for them to check and make any spot corrections as needed. Authors are given a maximum of seven calendar days to reply and return the revised work. If this deadline is not met, the Editorial Team will decide whether or not to publish the article.
