The usual submission periods for original manuscripts are as follows:
1st-31st March for the December issue

The Editorial Committee will carry out an initial review of the articles received in order to ascertain whether they comply with the minimum quality requirements and are in line with the profile of the magazine.
Evaluation of manuscripts /
Communication and Society only publishes manuscripts that have not previously been published and which receive a favourable evaluation from two external reviewers outside the University of Navarre, experts in the subject matter.

During the review period, the author and reviewers shall remain anonymous.
If the two evaluations received about an original manuscript contradict one another, Communication and Society will turn to a third external reviewer.
The magazine will inform authors as to whether their original manuscript has been accepted for publication or rejected within one month of having received it. As well as the notification of this decision, authors will be sent the anonymous reports provided by the external reviewers.
Authors whose articles have received a favourable report but with certain suggestions regarding corrections must resubmit the manuscript, having first incorporated the suggested improvements, within one month.
Having received the corrected text, the proof reader will ask the authors to make any formal modifications required for the final publication of the text.
Regulations governing articles submitted /
