SELECTION AND EVALUATION PROCESS OF ORIGINALS

The selection of texts that will be included in the Galician Magazine of Public Administration is based on the following criteria; originality, novelty, relevance and accuracy. Original texts that do not meet requirements listed below will be returned to the authors to be corrected before being submitted for evaluation. Once originals have been received and checked that comply with editorial requirements, the secretary will confirm that the original texts have been received and give an estimated date to be accepted. Texts will be reviewed by two (Phd or equivalent) experts from out of the editorial board. Evaluation process will be anonymous to ensure the independence in the selection. The texts will be evaluated as accepted, accepted with modifications or rejected. In the case the text is accepted with modifications, the publishing team will be in charge of following up the resubmission of the text (author will be informed). In the case of the text being rejected, the original will be returned to the author together with the evaluation assessment. Before the text is published the author will receive by email a final copy to make any changes on the final edition if needed in the next fifteen days.
