Cuadernos de Historia de España is a journal published by the Instituto de Historia de España Dr. Claudio Sánchez-Albornoz (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires). It publishes original and unpublished works on the different areas of Spanish history in its influences and multiple projections through time and space. The journal is aimed at an academic and general public and is published annually in December of each year covering the period from that time until November of the following year.

Contributions must meet the following criteria:

  1. be unpublished: they may not be simultaneously under evaluation in another publication.
  2. make a contribution to the areas of publication of the journal.
  3. present original results derived from completed research or research in a significant state of progress.
  4. contain a clear methodological development and a consistent analysis of the data.
  5. include a conceptual discussion and a relevant and updated bibliography in its subject matter.

Types of contributions:

  • Articles: between 7,000 and 9,000 words.
  • Critical notes: up to 4,000 words.
  • Discussion papers: up to 3,000 words.
  • Bibliographical comments (reviews): up to 1,500 words.

Cuadernos de Historia de España does not charge any fee to authors for the publication of articles. Access to its contents is free and open.

Characteristics and deadlines of the calls:

The journal opens an annual call for submissions of free articles and book reviews. Original texts received within the established deadlines (see below) and that strictly comply with the Guidelines for Authors will be considered by the Editorial Committee.

Deadlines for the reception of papers:

  • Free articles: Contributions are received between December of each year and February of the following year (inclusive).
  • Reviews: Contributions are received between March and July of each year (inclusive).

Once the deadlines indicated above have been fulfilled, the papers will be published in the following issue.

Evaluation system:

The articles submitted will be evaluated by anonymous referees following the double-blind review system in which the author does not know the identity of the reviewer and vice versa. Each contribution will have two evaluations under this system. In case of controversy between the opinions, the editorial board will resolve the decision based on the arguments given by the evaluators and the possibility of resorting to a third evaluation. Those articles that do not comply with the journal’s editorial guidelines will not be accepted for evaluation.
