Editorial procedures

Before submitting your manuscript, explore the Casa de Velázquez series.

Works proposed for publication, which must be unpublished and not have been submitted to other publishing houses, are subject to a preliminary evaluation (green light 1) by the Editorial Board, which examines their relevance, originality, scientific rigour, contribution to knowledge, scientific impact, technical feasibility, methodological quality and writing style.

Once the editorial project has been accepted, the complete anonymised file is submitted to a double-blind scientific peer review.

After the author/scientific editor has taken into account the experts' recommendations and editorial standards, the final manuscript is approved by the Editorial Board (green light 2).

Only then is it included in the publication schedule.

Until then, the head of the Publications Department is the contact person for the author or scientific editor(s). Once the final manuscript is being processed, this role is taken over by the editorial secretary. A publishing contract or letter of assignment of copyright is then signed between the Casa de Velázquez and the author/scientific editor.
