ABOUT THE JOURNAL • español

EDITORIAL POLITY

ARQUEOLOGÍA IBEROAMERICANA is a peer-reviewed, open access international scientific journal devoted to the archaeological study of prehistoric, protohistoric, ancient and historical societies of Latin America, the United States, the Iberian Peninsula, the Philippines, and other Iberian countries, whose primary objective is to serve the research community with the highest quality and speed and non-profit one.

It is published online four times a year in PDF electronic format and contains research and theoretical articles on the archaeology of the American, Iberian and Filipino peoples. Spanish, English and Portuguese are the primary languages.

The Editor sends all the received papers to the ADVISORY BOARD in order to decide their publication, maintaining absolute confidentiality on the proceedings of its members. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the 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 with a peer review polity by two external evaluators for each case, ruling justly on their acceptance, revision or rejection on the basis of the scientific quality of them.

Accordingly, the ADVISORY BOARD is sovereign in deciding on the publication of any paper submitted and the Editor can do nothing about it, limiting only to communicate their decisions to authors.

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 Elsevier's Publishing Ethics Resource Kit.
