About the Journal

Scope

Arte Nuevo (New Art. Journal of Golden Age Studies) (ISSN 2297-2692) is an annual journal published without interruptions since 2014. Arte nuevo is a free-access electronic publication dedicated to the study of Golden Age Spanish literature, but also, secondarily, to Early-Modern Spanish history and culture, understood broadly as to comprise texts produced in Spain or in the orbit of the Spanish world, from the Low Countries to America, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, although it can occassionally reach the eighteenth. Arte Nuevo accepts articles in several languages (Spanish, English, French, Italian). The publications are guaranteed by an anonymous peer-review evaluation process and by a committee of renowned experts at an international level.

 

Peer-review process

The journal council assigns to each original article addressed to the Arte Nuevo two external reviewers (that is, not related to the publishing house). They will produce a review in a reasonable time (and, in any case, before three months). If they disagree, the article will be sent to a third reviewer, who will have a month to give a verdict. The average number of weeks between the submission and the publication is 48-50.

Evaluators assist the section editor in editorial decisions and collaborate with authors so that they can improve their work, if need be. Evaluators who do not consider themselves qualified to review the article or who cannot review it within the appropriate deadline must notify it to their section editor.

Evaluators will treat manuscripts as confidential documents. They cannot show or discuss them with anybody, unless the author expressly authorizes it. Evaluations must be objective. Personal attacks are not tolerated. Criticisms must be clearly reasoned and must provide appropriate evidence. When possible, evaluators will identify relevant publications not quoted by the author. Evaluators must warn the editor of any substantial similarity between the manuscript and any other publication.

The information obtained during the review process will be considered as confidential and cannot be used for personal gain. Reviewers cannot evaluate manuscripts that will imply a conflict of interest, be it for reasons of competition, collaboration, or other relationships with the authors or institutions linked to the article in question.

 

Publication Frequency and Sections

Arte Nuevo is published annually, during March or April. Each issue will have a Table of Contents. In addition, it will have the following sections: several long papers (section Articles), other papers with a common theme (section Special Issue, if needed), shorter papers (section Notes), and book reviews (section Reviews).

In normal circumstances, the reviews in this last section will discuss books published no more than three years in the past. The books will deal with matters related to Spanish and Spanish-American Golden Age culture and literature.
