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.
