About the Journal
Boletín de Arte, founded in 1980, is the academic journal edited by the Department of History of Art at the University of Málaga. Boletín de Arte fosters research and academic discussion based upon all periods of the history of art, as well as art theory, aesthetics and visual culture. This scientific journal is published annually in both paper and digital formats, only accepting original proposals which have not been previously edited or published in any other journal, book, conference proceedings, seminar, etc. The journal follows a peer-reviewed policy in the selection of articles. This double-blind peer review process contains the standard criteria for serial scientific publishing. Boletín de Arte welcomes submissions in Spanish, English, French and Italian. Paper titles, abstracts and keywords will be also published in English.
The journal publishes scholarly articles but it also devotes different sections to book reviews, art criticism and Varia/Miscellanea.
Boletín de Arte publishes leading research in art history as practiced by art historians, artists, architects, aesthetic specialists, researchers and those professionals related to history, and art theory and practice.
Since 2013, a new journal era has begun with renewed editor-in-chief and editorial board, as well as with a scientific committee formed by world-leading specialists in the field of art history; more than 50% of this committee are researchers working in European, United States and Latin American universities.
PAPER ACCEPTANCE
The Editorial Board has established a limited number of originals in each section (See: Guidelines for authors).
Texts by the same author will not be published in the "Articles" and "Varia" sections until two issues have passed since their last publication in the mazine.
The policy of the sections is as follows: in the "Contrasts" section, articles are published at the invitation of the Editorial Board.
The "Varia", "Bibliographical Comments" and "Reviews" sections are subject to open submissions and publication prior decision of the Editorial Board with the advice of the Editorial Committee (none of them, therefore, are subject to peer review).
The "Articles" section accepts open submissions and is the only one that is submitted to peer review, following the editorial process described below.
The period for receiving articles will be open between November 30/December 30 (of the year of publication of the last issue) and February 28/March 31 of the year in which the new issue of the journal will be published, rejecting the articles arriving outside of that date range. These will be reported in the CFP.
BLIND PEER REVIEW
If the article follows the style and content guides as indicated in Author guidelines for the submission of papers, the editorial board will send it over to two anonymous expert reviewers out of the Editorial Committee, according to blind review procedures. The article evaluation will be closely related to the topic relevance, its contribution to the general knowledge of the specific field, innovations, correction of established relations, critical theory developed, bibliographical sources, style, etc.; the evaluation will also include possible recommendation for the authors. According to reviewers’ comments, the journal secretary will communicate the revision results by sending an email to the address given by the authors in their paper proposal. The secretary will bein contact with the corresponding author by informing him/her about the reviewers’ decision (accepted as it is; accepted with minor changes; accepted with major changes; rejected), together will some observations and reviewers’ comments. If the manuscript is accepted with some modifications, the authors should resend a new version of their paper, answering the external reviewers’ suggestions and demands. Articles requiring major changes might be sent back to the Editorial Committee and/or the Scientific Committee in order to verify the validity of the author’s changes.
Once the required changes are evaluated, the Scientific Committee will proceed to thepublication or rejection of the article. The final decision will be made by EditorialCommittee members, and the author will be accordingly notified by the editor-in-chiefor by the editor assistants

ETHICS STATEMENT ON PUBLICATION AND BAD PRACTICES
Boletín de Arte makes a commitment to the academic community by ensuring the ethics and quality of its published articles. As a benchmark, our journal uses the Code of Conduct and Good Practices for scientific journals defined for editors by the PUBLICATION ETHICS COMMITTEE (COPE).
Our journal thereby guarantees an appropriate response to the needs of readers and authors, ensuring the quality of the published work, protecting and respecting the content and integrity of the articles. The Editorial Board will publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when necessary.
In compliance with these best practices, Boletín de Arte has published the arbitration system that is followed for the selection of articles as well as the evaluation criteria to be applied by the anonymous, external peer-reviewers. Boletín de Arte keeps these criteria current, based solely on the scientific importance, the originality, clarity and relevance of the presented article.
Our journal guarantees the confidentiality of the evaluation process at all times: the anonymity of the reviewers and authors; the reviewed content; the reasoned report issued by the reviewers and any other communication issued by the editorial, advisory and scientific boards as required.
Equally, the strictest confidentiality applies to possible clarifications, claims or complaints that an author may wish to refer to the journal’s committees or the article reviewers.
Boletín de Arte declares its commitment to the respect and integrity of work already published. For this reason, plagiarism is strictly prohibited and texts that are identified as being plagiarized, or having fraudulent content, will be eliminated or not published in Boletín de Arte. The journal will act as quickly as possible in such cases. In accepting the terms and conditions expressed by our journal, authors must guarantee that the article and the materials associated with it are original and do not infringe copyright. The authors will also have to warrant that, in the case of joint authorship, there has been full consensus of all authors concerned and that the article has not been submitted to, or previously published in, any other media.
