Submission Preparation Checklist

  • 1. ALCEU journal accepts original and unpublished works in the form of scientific articles, interviews, essays, reviews, and translations on a rolling basis (rolling submission).

    The anonymized version is mandatory to ensure the integrity of the double-blind peer review process. Please ensure that the following measures have been taken with regard to the text and file properties:.

    The authors of the document must remove their names from the text, using the word “Author” and the year in references and footnotes instead of the authors' names, article title, etc.;
    . In Microsoft Office documents, the author's identification must also be removed from the file properties (see the Word program menu), starting with File in the main menu of the Word program (from Microsoft): File > Save as > Tools (or Options on Mac) > Security > Remove personal information from file properties when saving > Save.

    The file format in Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, or RTF is mandatory.
  • 4. It is mandatory to provide the institutional affiliation, academic degree, email address, and ORCID identifier for all authors.

Author Guidelines

Authors must send a digital copy of the Authorization to Publish Agreement, duly filled and signed, when submitting an original manuscript to ALCEU.

Funding institutions, whether public or private, academic or not, involved in the research for the submitted manuscript should be duly acknowledged. Authors must inform their affiliations to assure there is no conflict of interest in the publication of academic research.

Noticing any error or inaccuracy in a work published in the ALCEU journal, they must communicate to the editors so that the necessary corrections are made and indicated in the article published in question

The interval for publishing articles by the same author is one year.

Double-blind peer review of originals

Every original manuscript submitted to the journal will go through a preliminary evaluation based on the following criteria: originality, relevance and suitability in relation to themes in communication, culture, and politics; if the main author holds a PhD degree; use of the template for manuscript submission; absence of elements that identify the authors in the text body.

Then, submitted manuscripts will be assigned to at least two reviewers. The Editorial Board may accept, reject or request revisions in manuscripts based on the double-blind peer review process.

To ensure the integrity of the double-blind peer review process in submitting to this journal, every effort should be made to prevent the identities of the authors and reviewers from being known to each other. This involves authors, editors and reviewers (who upload documents as part of their review) to verify that the following measures have been taken in relation to the text and file properties:

  • The authors must exclude their names from the text, using the literal "Author" and year in the references and footnotes, instead of the name of the authors, affiliation, e-mail, etc;
  • In Microsoft Office documents (or similar programs), the author identification must also be removed from the file properties (see the Word program menu), starting with File in the main menu: File> Save as> Tools (or Options on Mac )> Security> Remove personal information from file properties when saving> Save.

The time it takes us to consider manuscripts for publication depends on the volume of submissions to the journal.
