Evaluation

The editorial board makes a first selection of papers addressing theoretical issues, to be evaluated for the book.
Papers for the book will be anonymously evaluated by three experts and the evaluations are returned to the author together with a decision of publication or not, and possibly with suggestions of improvements. In this case, the author is then asked to return an ultimate version of his paper before a further deadline.
Papers with less theoretical implications will be dispatched to the editorial board of the journal Studies in Communication Sciences and authors will be notified according to the ordinary evaluation procedure for this journal.
