Peer Review Process
The peer review process involves three main stages:
1) preliminary evaluation of the subject, quality and presentation of the manuscript (by the Scientific editorial board);
2) a peer review made by two or three independent reviewers not belonging to the Darwiniana new serie Editorial Board. At least one reviewer is from a country other than the author. Peer review is single-blind (reviewer knows the identity of the author but the author does not know the reviewer).
3) Devolution of the review to the author with the respective observations, which can take four different ways: acceptance, acceptance with minor changes, request for substantial changes, or no acceptance of manuscript. In cases where changes are requested, the author should send the new version of the document along with a letter explaining the changes and presenting arguments if they decided not to do some of the requested changes.

Darwiniana, nueva serie, is published twice a year, on July 31st and December 30th.
