Evaluation process

Peer Review Process

Revista Universitaria de Historia Militar (RUHM) publishes two issues a year. We implement a double-blind review system for article evaluation, so that the identity of both authors and reviewers remains hidden from both parties. Submitted articles will be initially evaluated by the editorial team within a 2-month period, and only those conforming to scientific standards and the objectives, profile and guidelines set out for the RUHM project (see Aims and Scope) will be sent for external evaluation.

Articles suitable for publication must make a novel contribution from a factual or interpretative perspective. In this regard, the RUHM team reserves the right to discard articles which may not meet the established standards or conform to the journal's purposes and objectives, prior to their submission for external evaluation. In addition to the writing standards set out by the RUHM, the editorial team will verify the compliance with the basic parameters of academic rigor concerning the use and citation of sources.

Once sent to peer-review, decisions on submitted articles will be made within a 6-month period, depending on the current workload.

Due to organisational reasons aimed to ensure a necessary and desirable balance of contents, the RUHM reserves the right to publish any of the articles that have passed the evaluation process in the two years following their approval.
