Quality of the editorial process
Cauriensia has maintained its edition of issues with a rigorous periodicity since its birth in 2006. An annual volume is published on a completely regular basis. It maintains, in turn, strict coherence in its editorial line and in the subject matter of the publication. Since 2016, the journal is offered in paper and OJS (e-print).
All work published in Cauriensia is subject to prior evaluation by experts on the Advisory Board and the Editorial Board, as well as Reviewers, independent researchers of prestige in the field (see the corresponding section).
Collaborations reviewed at Cauriensia are subject, as a minimum requirement, to the blind evaluation system, which guarantees anonymity in the review of manuscripts. In the event of discrepancies between the evaluators, further reviews are carried out to determine the viability of the possible edition of the collaborations.
Cauriensia provides reasoned notification of the editorial decision, which includes the reasons for the prior assessment, subsequent revision, with acceptance or rejection of the manuscripts, with summaries of the opinions issued by the external experts.
Cauriensia has an Editorial Board, a Scientific Advisory Board and a list of Evaluators in its organisation. It also has a director and the assistance of staff from the Publications Service of the University of Extremadura as well as the production, editing and distribution management of the Sindéresis Publishing House with offices in Madrid and Porto, and co-published by the Francisco de Vitoria University.This ensures the institutional and commercial network.
The Scientific Advisory Board and the list of Reviewers are made up of professionals and researchers of recognised prestige, with no institutional link to the journal or the publisher, and they are responsible for the evaluation and auditing of the journal.
