Process of reception, arbitration and publication

The author must submit the article directly through the author section of the Carthaginensia website, complying with the requirements expressed therein for submitting an article and using the article writing template provided by the journal: https://revistacarthaginensia.com/index.php/CARTHAGINENSIA/information/authors.

1. The author agrees to submit an unpublished and original article and to comply with Carthaginensia's ethical and good practices statement.
2. Once received, it will be submitted to two academic peers who will issue their concept in a format in which the evaluation criteria are established. This concept will be communicated to the author of the article in a timely manner. In case of disparity of criteria of the referees, the possibility of sending the article to a third referee for a final review will be considered and the Editor will make the decision on publication.
3. Double-blind refereeing will be carried out, in which the author will not know the name of the referees, nor will they know the name of the author of the article being evaluated. The dates of receipt and refereeing will appear at the beginning of each article. Once the process is completed, the Editor/Director makes the final publication decision.

4. The refereeing procedure uses external evaluators who are experts in their areas of knowledge. The external reviewers will adhere to the ethical criteria and good practices of Carthaginensia.
Once accepted, the paper will be reviewed for style, editing and publication.
Once the refereeing process has been completed, the author will be informed of the acceptance or rejection of the article.
5. The process lasts a minimum of 8 weeks. The first communication to the author will be made within a maximum period of 2 weeks from the date the article was sent.

Interesting information: in the last 4 issues (75-78) there has been a rejection rate of 20%. A total of 48 articles have been published and 14 have been rejected using the double-blind peer review system.
