    EVALUATION PROCESS

    This journal operates under a double-blind peer review model. Manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two anonymous external reviewers and an Associate Editor. Papers will only be sent to review if the Editor determines that the paper meets the appropriate quality and relevance requirements. The following aspects will be assessed: originality; knowledge and degree of updating of the literature; use of theory and methodology. The Director keeps the final decision on publication.

    Authors may appeal an editorial decision if they feel that the decision to reject was based on either a significant misunderstanding of a core aspect of the manuscript, a failure to understand how the manuscript advances the literature or concerns regarding the manuscript-handling process. Differences in opinion regarding the novelty or significance of the reported findings are not considered as grounds for appeal. To raise an appeal, please contact the journal by email, quoting your manuscript title and explaining your rationale for the appeal. The Director’s decision following an appeal consideration is final.

    To raise a complaint regarding editorial staff, policy or process please contact the journal in the first instance. If you believe further support outside the journal’s management is necessary, please refer to Sociedad Argentina de Análisis Político (SAAP).
