Filología

Presentation

Filología is a periodical publication –currently annual– of the Institute of Philology and Hispanic Literatures “Dr. Amado Alonso” from the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires. The journal operates as the Institute's organ for scientific dissemination, bringing together the work of professionals from different research areas (theoretical or empirical): grammar and linguistics, Spanish literatures, foreign literature, and literary theory. Since its creation in 1949, Filología has included original and unpublished works related to the knowledge of language, literature and culture.

Each number of Filología may contain between two and four sections. The Articles section includes scientific papers on the different research areas persued at the Institute. The Dossiers section brings together sets of papers with a common subject, related to the objectives of the journal, with an appropriate title and an introduction by the coordinator(s) of the dossier. The Research Notes section includes contributions on different theoretical and methodological approaches applied to scientific work. The Reviews section offers critiques of recently published books that contribute to further the study of the different research areas developed at the Institute.

 

Peer review process

The original and unpublished manuscripts that are submitted will be evaluated by two or more external referees using a double-blind system, keeping the identity of the author and reviewers confidential during the evaluation process. If the evaluations do not coincide or have discrepancies, the Drafting Committee will request a new evaluation and the final decision will be made on the basis of the new opinion. As the last stage of the evaluation process, all the contributions that make up each issue of Philology are examined by the Editorial Board of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires, which makes the final approval of each issue of the journal. The authors will be notified of the decision to accept or reject the manuscript. Likewise, the text may be returned to them to introduce the modifications recommended by the evaluators within the agreed deadlines.

The Editorial Committee reserves the following rights:

• request articles or other texts from specialists when deemed appropriate (these cases will also be subject to external evaluation);
• reject collaborations that are not relevant to the thematic profile of the magazine or that do not conform to the style standards;
• Establish the order in which accepted papers will be published.
