About the Journal

Peer Review Process

The Editorial Board of the journal reserves the right to a first review of the manuscripts to verify that they match the thematic and formal criteria. In the case of not meeting these requirements, the author will be informed of the reasons for the rejection and will be allowed to send it again.

Articles that do comply with these standards will be subjected to a double-blind peer review. The OJS electronic platform where the journal is hosted will be the means through which the articles will be submitted:

http://www.revistas.uma.es/index.php/trasvases/information/authors

A copy of the work will also be sent to the email address rmal@uma.es, which will be acknowledged by the director of the magazine. Next, the articles will be sent to two experts and they will have 15 days to issue their reports, which will include one of the verdicts below:

a) Acceptance.
b) Acceptance subject to revision.
c) Rejection.

In all cases, the verdict will be motivate and will be sent to the author. A third referee will be used if unanimity is not achieved and the confidentiality of both authors and reviewers will be maintained throughout the process.

The "Miscellaneous" and "Monographic" sections are made up of original research articles and are, therefore, evaluated through this process of external reviewers, while for the sections not evaluated the Editorial Board reserves the right to accept or reject their content.  These sections that do not include articles (hence they do not present an abstract and keywords) and that, therefore, are not subjected to double-blind peer review, are the following:

- "Presentation" (by whoever coordinates the monograph).

- "Corpus" (filmographic and / or bibliographic).

- "The voice of the creators" (interview from the double aspect of literature and cinema to writers and filmmakers).

- "Reviews" (referring to recent books that specifically address the relationship between Literature and Cinema).

The evaluators will refuse their participation in the event that they consider that a conflict of interest may arise and their impartiality may be questioned and to ensure the integrity of anonymous evaluations, the instructions detailed in "Ensure anonymous review"
