- Frequency of publication
An electronic version of the volume is published every calendar year with two issues per semester. Since 2019, the publication date of issue 1 is 2 January and the publication date of issue 2 is 1 July. Issues with a monographic theme in the Dossier section also admit texts on other themes in the Miscellaneous section.
- Peer review process
It is a peer-reviewed publication that uses the peer-review system, in accordance with the publication standards of the American Psychological Association (APA). Compliance with these requirements facilitates their indexing in the main international databases of journals in the field, thus ensuring greater dissemination of published works and, therefore, of their authors and work centres.
The review report, which is completed anonymously by the external reviewers, can be consulted at this link: Review Report
All texts are reviewed by the anonymous "double-blind" system (Double-blind peer review) which preserves the anonymity of the authors and the evaluators throughout the process.
The article review process is carried out with the Open Journal System (OJS) software that guarantees the automated and auditable electronic recording of all interactions. This is a transparent process, which enables the improvement of texts when publication is feasible.
The review process takes an average of 4 weeks, except for incidents. Evaluators receive the evaluation request with a suggested deadline and their commitment is requested to avoid delays.
Instructions for revision: Guidelines for reviewers
The review process is the one agreed upon with the rest of the communication journals associated to Plataforma Latina de Revistas de Comunicación.
The diagram of the review process can be consulted at the following link: http://bit.ly/1LkD1oG
The review criteria are also shared with the other journals that are members of the Communication Journals Platform. The criteria are: originality, novelty, timeliness, interest, quality and methodological rigor, and relevance.
The internal review report that the editorial team carries out after receiving each article can be consulted at this link: Internal Review Report
In summary, when the text is received, the designated person on the editorial board performs a desk review to check the fit with the journal's theme and formal rules. Once accepted, the editorial team omits the information about the authors and sends two doctoral reviewers, experts in the subject, who do not belong to the authors' institution of origin. When two positive reports are obtained, the author is notified, formally reviewed, mocked up and the article is published, otherwise it is rejected with reasons. The author can always exercise his/her right of complaint by writing to the editor of the journal.
Publisher-author interactions: acknowledgement of receipt of the text, assignment of rights and ethical commitment; acceptance for submission to review; results of the double evaluation; communication of publication; invitation to network dissemination and other strategies.
Editor-reviewer interactions: request for review with suggested deadline; acknowledgement of receipt of acceptance of review and sending of documentation and access to the electronic review platform; acknowledgement of receipt of evaluation; if the editorial decision is "publication with major modifications", re-sending of the corrected text to the same evaluator and request for second report; certification of the collaboration.
Each manuscript evaluation receives an assessment by the editorial team. Every year, IROCAMM publishes the list of evaluators who have collaborated on the volumes.
We collaborate with Publons (Clarivate), a social database where authors and journals register their scientific reviews. It is useful to accredit the important work that each reviewer does as well as to record externally that the journal observes a scientific review process. Reviewers are encouraged to create a profile, add reviews and verify them. To do this, reviewers should only forward the email they receive from the journal confirming the review to reviews@publons.org.
- Anti-Plagiarism Policy
IROCAMM - International Review Of Communication And Marketing Mix holds an anti-plagiarism policy that ensures that all published works are unpublished, through the professional application of cross-checks, thus guaranteeing the originality of all manuscripts. This anti-plagiarism policy ensures standards of originality in this journal with a high international impact, in order to guarantee innovative and impactful scientific production. Authors and reviewers also have a set of specific tools to detect plagiarism: Turnitin, Grammarly, Plagium, Copionic, WriteCheck, PaperRater, Plagarisma.net, Viper, Plagarism... free access or licensed platforms that monitor originality and control plagiarism.
Therefore, a similarity report (percentage of plagiarism of the text) resulting from checking the text of the article in any anti-plagiarism application (TURNITIN, VIPER, PLAGIARISM CHECKER or any of the aforementioned) must be attached. Similarity reports with a similarity percentage higher than 10% (excluding references used in the text) will result in the rejection of the text. Not required for reviews but check this box anyway so that the system will allow you to continue.
