Recognized Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

The Anuario de Estudios Filológicos is a peer-reviewed journal edited by the University of Extremadura (Spain), that publishes original research papers —written in Spanish, English, French, German, Italian or Portuguese—, which deal with aspects of linguistic structure or literature of any language, with general linguistics or literary theory.

The manuscripts are peer-reviewed prior to their publication.

– Authors can use their own articles, or part of them, in compilations of their own work.

– Woks that are being evaluated in whole or in part by another publisher cannot be submitted. Once submitted to the AEF, the originals cannot be sent to another journal or publisher until the evaluation process has been completed.

– In the writing of the works, discrimination through language (sexist, racist, classist…) will be avoided and the linguistic system will be respected. 

Publisher:

– The publisher must warrant that the manuscripts align with the journal's areas of knowledge.

– Reviewers will be fully objective and will clearly argument their viewpoints.

– Reviewers should assess the originality, relevance, and methodology of the articles, as well as their potential to open new lines of research.
