6. Evaluation process

All proposals are received by the Executive Editors, and authors will get a confirmation of receipt. Manuscripts are evaluated by the Editorial Committee in the first place, in order to determine if they fall in line with the scope, objectives and requirements of the journal. If it does not comply with them, the manuscript is rejected. When the first evaluation is positive, two external referees, specialized in the topic, are chosen to review the quality of the article. After being peer-reviewed, proposals can be: 1) published without modifications; 2) accepted if they incorporate the reviewers' observations; 3) rejected. In the event of a dispute between the referees, the article will be sent to a third specialist. The Editorial Committee will guarantee that the peer reviewers have no work/institutional relationship with the authors of the manuscripts. The evaluation system adopted by the journal is double-blind preserving the anonymity of both authors and evaluators.

 

7. Ethics

With the intention of following the universal consensus on scientific publishing practice, the journal's Editorial Team adheres to the guidelines and instructions developed by the COPE | Committee on Publication Ethics.

Authors, researchers and evaluators are encouraged to get acquainted with the international guidelines related to publication ethics in order to avoid mistakes that could be generated by their lack of knowledge.

10. Digital file preservation policy

Archivos de historia del movimiento obrero y la izquierda uses the latest version of Open Journal Systems which supports the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system that guarantees a permanent and secure archive. An open source software developed by the Library of Stanford University, LOCKSS allows libraries to curate selected content by regularly searching registered journals to collect new published content and archive it. Each archive is continuously validated against records from other libraries, so any damaged or lost content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.

It also relies on the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to ensure a permanent and secure archive for the journal. CLOCKSS is based on the open source LOCKSS software, which allows libraries to preserve selected content by regularly checking registered journal websites for recently published content and archiving it. Each archive is constantly validated against other library caches and, if it is detected that content has been corrupted or lost, other caches or the journal itself are used to restore it.
