ARQUEOLOGÍA IBEROAMERICANA
The World's NUMBER ONE in
Quality, Quickness and Independence...
OPEN to EVERYONE.
It doesn't discriminate against anyone.

According to the Jx bibliometric index (PIE 2022, 2023), which measures the relevance of a scientific journal as a direct function of its scientific production for a given period and in inverse proportion to its age, Arqueol. Iberoam. ranks 18th (Q1) among the 124 archaeology journals (see the list) included in both Scopus and the Web of Science (2023). This index is the most objective of all those that have been conceived to date.

EDITORIAL POLITY
ARQUEOLOGIA IBEROAMERICANA (Arqueol. Iberoam.) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open access international scientific journal devoted to the archaeological and archaeometric study of the prehistoric, protohistoric, ancient, and historical societies from Latin America, Iberia, and the rest of the world; whose primary objective is to serve the research community with the highest quality and speed and non-profit one.
We are particularly interested in research on archaeometry and theoretical archaeology.
It is published online, in continuous publication, two times a year in PDF electronic format and contains research and theoretical articles on archaeology and archaeometry (research article, research report, research note, method article, review article).
Spanish and English are the primary languages. Other languages, especially Portuguese, are welcome.
The Chief Editor sends all the received papers to the ADVISORY BOARD and the anonymous external reviewers in order to decide their publication, maintaining absolute confidentiality of the proceedings of its members. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Chief Editor.
The ADVISORY BOARD is an independent advisory entity responsible for ensuring the scientific excellence of the journal. Composed of prestigious academic authorities, it examines the adequacy of the manuscripts submitted for publication.
The ADVISORY BOARD may also be involved in the ANONYMOUS BLIND PEER REVIEW of articles, proposing two external reviewers for each case. These latter will make a JUSTIFIED assessment on their acceptance, modification, or rejection based on the scientific quality of articles.
Both the ADVISORY BOARD and the anonymous external reviewers are sovereign in deciding on the publication of any original manuscript submitted. The Chief Editor can do nothing about it, but only abide by their decisions and communicate them to the authors.

Review Period
The review period shall never be less than 21 days or more than 35 days (April 17, 2025).

SELF-ARCHIVING POLITY
This publication allows authors to archive, personally or institutionally, all versions (accepted manuscript, preprint, published article) of their papers. See DULCINEA, Sherpa Romeo.

PUBLICATION ETHICS AND PUBLICATION MALPRACTICE STATEMENT
The EDITORIAL BOARD of the journal will be intolerable and inflexible with malpractices such as PLAGIARISM, the REPRODUCTION OF ARTICLES PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED in other media or FRAUDULENT RESEARCH. To resolve these situations, it will follow the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Likewise, any CONFLICT OF INTEREST between authors and reviewers will be avoided.
To detect and combat PLAGIARISM, we implement computer TOOLS capable of finding and comparing texts in the main search engines.
Readers who make accusations of PLAGIARISM and/or DATA FALSIFICATION must immediately provide reliable evidence to support them in order for the journal to act with all possible forcefulness without delay.
Once plagiarism and/or falsification of data in an article published by the journal has been proven beyond doubt, the editor will inform the author(s) of the seriousness of the facts so that they can publicly retract the article. In any case, a statement will be issued, and the article will be withdrawn.
To resolve any problem, only the Chief Editor/Publisher may be contacted.
No one else is authorized to do this.
