Papel Escena is an annual academic publication of the Facultad de Artes Escénicas de Bellas Artes, Institución Universitaria del Valle, which aims to disseminate articles on research results in Performing Arts: performance, artistic teaching in theater and cultural dynamization, as well as articles of reflection or review that are working tools for further research in the area and that deal with issues of importance and topicality for the community.

The journal is aimed at students, teachers, researchers and artists in the performing arts or fields of knowledge interested in transdisciplinary and transcultural studies associated with the arts.

  • Memory of paper: publishes interviews and reflections on a character or an important situation for the Performing Arts.
  • Research Scene: presentation of advances or results of research on creation-teaching in the performing arts, acting, artistic teaching in theater or cultural dynamization. Manuscripts submitted to this section will be sent for external review.
  • Paper premiere: presents unpublished librettos (short plays) of recent creation.
  • Paper gallery: space dedicated to a photographic or plastic series, scenographic or costume designs, unpublished photos (photographic essay) on creation and research in art.
  • Scene in projection: section dedicated to review the works produced during the year by the faculty in their academic programs.

Peer review process

Articles are accepted with the understanding that they are original data from research projects duly approved by the Institutional Review Committees and that they have not been submitted simultaneously to another journal.

Each of the articles received is submitted to a review process (double blind) and selection in two stages: internal by a member of the Editorial Committee who will evaluate the originality and relevance of the article, and subsequently, external by two referees who, under the double blind review modality, will issue their concept on the scientific quality, structure, rationale, handling of sources and conceptual rigor. Within two (2) months after sending the text, the author will be notified of the result of the evaluation process. The journal has the collaboration of external evaluators outside the editorial team and the publishing institution. The average number of months that elapses between the submission and publication of an article is nine (9) months.

The referees must fill out an evaluation form that will be provided to them once they accept the article for refereeing. According to the quality of the text, the peers may decide if the article is publishable, if it should be republished, or if it is not yet ready for publication. The qualification criteria for the articles are: Acceptance; Acceptance conditioned to adjustments; Revise and resubmit for a future call for papers; and Rejected.

Once the evaluation is received, the Editorial Committee should send the results to the authors. In the case of Acceptance conditioned to adjustments, the authors have fifteen (15) calendar days to send the improved version with the suggested indications.

The journal does not issue payments to reviewers. However, in recognition of their work, a certificate of participation is issued upon request, as well as the visibility of their name in the list that is permanently published and updated in the section for reviewers.
