PUBLICATION Frecuency
Boletín de Arte [Journal of Art] (BOA) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal with continuous publication.
Articles are published individually and sequentially in the current issue.
The invitation for the presentation of articles is permanently open.
* Frecuency adopted since 2023 edicion.
PEER REVIEW Process
The contributions received by the journal are analyzed by the editorial group in order to ensure that they comply with the scope declared by the publication and its editorial requirements.
Those contributions that do not comply with these criteria will be rejected or, when the editor in charge considers it appropriate, returned to their authors to be adjusted.
The articles sent to sections under arbitration are forwarded to two specialists in the subject for revision (none of them belong to the editorial group).
For the evaluation of the contributions received, the journal uses the double-blind peer review process.
The revision is done by the evaluators within 30 days, approximately (this period might be longer depending on the result of the first revision).
As a result of this process, the articles may be accepted, accepted with modifications or rejected, based on appropriate arguments.
When the evaluators indicate the need to make changes to the articles for their eventual publication, these will be informed to the authors who will have to commit to make these modifications and send the new version within a period no longer than 30 days.*
If the reports made by the evaluators differ in essential aspects, the works will be sent to a third evaluator.
If necessary, the direction of the journal will mediate to reach a final decision.
Once the work has been accepted, the authors will be informed of the issue in which it will be published.
* In these cases, the acceptance date will be set considering the date of the approval of the latest version.
