Editorial fees

Cadernos de Fraseoloxía Galega does not charge any fee for processing, editing or publishing an article. The process is completely free and, from issue 18, contents are provided in open access.

Submitting a contribution

• Cadernos de Fraseoloxía Galega only accepts original and unpublished contributions. Submitting a contribution does not guarantee its publication. Authors will receive an electronic communication stating if the article has been accepted or if it needs any modifications to be published.
• Even though the call for submissions is permanently open, only manuscripts received by October 24 will be considered for issue 23.To be included in the next issue in preparation. Any delay when submitting a contribution must be duly justified. The frequency of publication is yearly.
• The submission file must be in an editable format, such as Word, LibreOffice or RTF.
• The journal’s language of publication is Galician. However, contributions written in any other language may be accepted. When a contribution has obtained a positive review and has been accepted, Cadernos de Fraseoloxía Galega will provide a translation service into Galician, which will be free of charge. This translation will make use of inclusive language and will avoid gender discrimination.
• The recommended length of an article (section “Estudos/Studies”) is 40.000 characters without spaces, approximately. The maximum length of a review is 20,000 characters without spaces; reviews under 3 pages long cannot be accepted. The extension of compilations (“Recadádivas”) should be similar to that of an article. However, depending on the type of the compiled material, some exceptions can be made.

Reviewing process

Cadernos de Fraseoloxía Galega applies a double-blind peer review process to all the contributions in which the reviewers do not belong to our editorial board. In order to find these reviewers, the Editorial Assistant will have a minimum of ten days and a maximum of twenty. However, if special difficulty in achieving this task occurs (due to the specificity of the article’s subject or language), that deadline may be extended.

The deadline for potentially publishable works during the current year is October, 24 (any delay must be duly justified). Articles submitted before the deadline that meet the minimum criteria to be published will be anonymized and sent to two reviewers that are expert in the field who must issue a report on:

• the coherence between the contribution and the research interests of CFG;
• the compliance of the contribution with the quality criteria of the journal;
• the contribution’s originality, relevance, pertinence of the methodology and the conclusions, presentation of the data, and bibliography;
• the pertinence of publishing the contribution (as it is, or modified) or rejecting it.

A contribution will be published if the two reports are positive. If just one of the reviews suggests its publication, then the contribution will be sent to a third reviewer, whose assessment will be considered irrevocable. Reviewers must send their reviewing report to within one month at the latest since the reception of the article. On another note, the Editorial Assistant will inform the author of the reviewers’ decision, which can be the final or conditional (that is, subject to changes) acceptance of the article or its rejection. This notification must be sent to the author within ten days since the reception of the reviewers’ deliberation.

If the reports recommend the publication only if it is modified, authors must undertake the suggested changes within fifteen days. The same deadline applies to authors who wish to make a statement against the suggested modifications. Once the modified contribution has been received, the Editorial Board will have ten days to agree on its publication or its final rejection. Editors may make slight amendments to the submitted contributions with the sole purpose of correcting typographical or linguistic errors.

Management of post publication issues and possible correction/retraction of published articles

Once the articles have been edited, these will be sent to the corresponding authors so that they can inform of any necessary emendations. Such notification must be made via email within one week. Subsequently, the Editorial Team will check whether the notified errors or deficiencies were, in fact, committed. If so, and depending on their significance, a solution will be agreed between the two parties:

• In the case of non-substantial errors/deficiencies (those which do not compromise the quality of the work): introduction of an erratum at the beginning of the next issue of the journal, for instance.
• In the case of substantial errors/deficiencies (those which do compromise the quality of the work): update of the article in its digital version, for instance.
