IV. Peer-review Process

1. Once reception of the text has been confirmed, the work will be submitted to a process of pre-selection by the editors of the journal so as to determine its thematic suitability. Once the work has been rated as relevant for publication it will be submitted for anonymous peer review; in the case of research articles, documentary analysis, and studies of works of art, opinions will be sought from two specialists in the field; biographical sketches and reviews will be submitted to a single referee.
2. Referees shall be external to the journal’s editorial team and shall have no relationship with the author. They must have studies of master’s or doctorate level and have published at least one article of research, reflection or critical review related to the subject of the manuscript. They will be provided with an assessment form with which to express their opinion on the quality of the originals received.
3. Whatever the nature of the results, the contents of referees’ opinions will be delivered to the authors. At all times the anonymity of both authors and evaluators will be respected.
4. The editors of the journal shall be empowered to request modifications to—or to reject­­—the contribution in attendance upon referees’ determinations. Decisions may take the form: a) accepted without changes; b) accepted with suggestions for changes; c) accepted on the condition of carrying out the changes indicated; or d) rejected.
5. When attending to suggestions or conditions, the author shall highlight the changes made to his/her text. The editors will then review the modifications introduced by the author in relation to the suggestions or conditions made by referees, before proceeding—assuming that the suggestions or conditions have been fulfilled—to accept the work..
6. The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México requires authors to transmit intellectual ownership rights to the journal Anales del Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas for the effects of publishing the article and accompanying material both on paper and by electronic or any other technological media, for exclusively scientific or cultural and non-commercial purposes. Authors must therefore send back the duly completed and signed form for transmission of author’s rights. This form will be sent by mail or e-mail in a PDF format during the process of galley proof revision.
7. Once the text has been approved and all previously indicated requirements have been met, the complementary material (images and reproduction licenses) will be checked. It is an obligation of the authors to resubmit any material that does not meet the quality requirement for printing.
8. If necessary, the editors may, subject to authors’ agreement, request modifications in order to respect editorial design criteria.
9. Authors must undertake to check both galleys (in order to give their approval of the copy editing) and final page proofs (so as to corroborate that the sequence of images is correct and corresponds with the captions). In neither case will major modifications to the text be accepted.
