  • The Copyright and self-archiving policy operated by Casa de Velázquez is accepted and respected.

Author Guidelines

All publishing projects are subject to prior internal evaluation by the Editorial Board. If this evaluation is favorable, the author/scientific editor must send his/her anonymized manuscript for external review within three months. If any adjustments are required prior to this assessment, they must be taken into account within three to six months, depending on the case.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA), or Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 17, 2019 on accessibility requirements for products and services, aims to ensure that all people, regardless of their status, can access digital services and products effectively and without barriers. This directive will apply to new online digital products from June 28, 2025. Casa de Velázquez books are published simultaneously in print and digital form. Their editorial treatment meets most accessibility criteria. Nevertheless, each figure (map, plan, photograph, genealogy, stemma, plate or diagram) must be accompanied by an alternative text with a minimum extension of 140 signs, which must not be a repetition of the legend and/or figure title. Authors are responsible for providing this text when submitting the final manuscript for publication. However, if the image is described in the course of the demonstration, there is no need for this alternative text. It is sufficient to indicate this for each illustration. In the case of graphics, figures are used in place of alternative text.

Any use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in the writing of a book or contribution must be reported, as mentioned in as stated in the publishing contracts and the copyright assignment agreements.
