Are you interested in publishing in Papel Escena journal? We recommend reviewing the about page to consult the journal's section policies, as well as the Manuscript Submission section. Authors must register with the journal before publishing or, if already registered, can simply log in and begin the five-step process.
Articles are accepted on the understanding that they are original data from research projects duly approved by the relevant Institutional Review Committees and that they have not been simultaneously submitted to another journal.
Authors should remember that the publishing process is based on healthy competition. It is not enough for an article to be “acceptable,” “good,” or “correct”; it must be interesting, original, and scientifically rigorous.
Manuscripts must be written in a clear, concise, and coherent manner. Manuscripts that do not follow the instructions indicated in the sections on manuscript submission and structure and type of articles will be returned for correction without review.
By submitting a manuscript, authors agree that the copyright for the manuscript is automatically transferred to Papel Escena magazine upon acceptance for publication.
The results of peer review may be: Acceptance; Acceptance conditional on adjustments; Revise and resubmit for a future call for papers; and Rejection.
Acceptance: the article must present the research problem clearly. The author must discuss, with a reflective and critical stance, the scientific literature related to artistic studies; the document must clearly establish the theoretical background and research method and articulate them in all sections of the article. If tables and figures are used, they must be clear and discussed in the text. The bibliography must be cited in the article and be up to date (last 8 years). In terms of form, it must have a clear structure and wording with appropriate language and apply APA standards.
Acceptance conditional on adjustments: these are documents that meet the acceptance criteria described above but need improvement in some aspect of form and/or content. The evaluation form has a space for comments in which the evaluator specifies the changes and suggestions that authors should take into account in order for their articles to be accepted.
Revise and resubmit for consideration in a future call for papers: although the article presents a relevant and novel topic, substantial revisions are required in terms of approach, structure, analysis of results, or development of the argument. It is considered to have potential as a publishable article if the authors follow the recommendations.
Rejected: the article has one or more of the following characteristics: it lacks a defined structure, the writing is sloppy, there is no thematic connection or articulation between sections. APA standards are not applied. The conclusions are poor or absent.
Once the evaluation has been received, the Editorial Committee shall send the results to the authors. In the case of “Acceptance conditional on adjustments,” authors have fifteen (15) calendar days to submit the improved version with the suggested changes.
