Publishing Guidelines

NORBA, REVISTA DE ARTE

PUBLISHING GUIDELINES

NORBA is a scientific journal of Art History, published annually, dedicated to the publication of original research works on any of the specialities and fields related to the world of the Arts, without ruling out interdisciplinary approaches that enrich their study.

l. EDITORIAL PROCESS AND EVALUATION OF ORIGINALS

The research papers included in each issue are divided into two main sections: the first is monographic in nature and its content is subject to approval by the Editorial Committee, contributed by invited researchers and specialists in the selected topic; the second section is open to the submission of contributions on a topic of the author's choice. The journal also publishes notes of various kinds (news and brief comments) and bibliographical reviews, as well as academic research work carried out in and defended by the Art History Section of the Department of Art and Territorial Sciences of the University of Extremadura.

The sections of the journal whose contents are subject to review are the articles and notes of various, while the rest of the sections are evaluated directly by the Editorial Board. This same Council must ensure that research work is subject to evaluation using an external peer review system based on double anonymity. The journal will employ two reviewers, members of the Scientific Committee or other external evaluators specialized in the subject, to evaluate each article received, turning to a third reviewer in case of discrepancy.

Articles finally published will include the dates of receipt and acceptance. The final responsibility for the selection process and acceptance of papers will fall on the Management of the journal and its Editorial Committee, communicating to the authors the firm editorial decisions, both positive and negative, specifying, where appropriate, the modifications indicated by the aforementioned evaluators. In addition, the Editorial Board will emphasize that the evaluation process should monitor the originality of the work and detect possible plagiarism and redundant publications, as well as falsified or manipulated data.

2. REMISSION OF ORIGINALS

The journal will accept original and unpublished texts. Each author may submit one article and one note of several, or only two notes of several. Bibliographic reviews will have no limit of number.
