Focus and Scope

ABOUT MonTI

MonTI is an academic, peer-reviewed and international journal by the three public universities with a Translation Degree in the Spanish region of Valencia (Universitat d’Alacant, Universitat Jaume I de Castelló and Universitat de València). Our first priority is to publish texts providing an in-depth analysis of translation- and interpreting-related matters that meet high standards of scientific rigour, foster debate and promote plurality.

MonTI publishes a on-line thematic issue each year (ISSN-e: 1989-9335; ISSN: 1889-4178). In order to ensure both linguistic democracy and dissemination of the journal to the broadest readership possible, the journal publishes articles in Catalan, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Manuscripts drafted in a languae other than English will have an English translation provided by the authors.

We would like to highlight our commitment to meeting international quality criteria. Thus, the journal will invite experts in each of the subject areas related to Translation and Interpreting to serve as issue editors.There will be an open call for papers for each issue, and at least 75% of the contributing authors will always be from universities other than our own. Each contribution will be peer-reviewed by two preeminent researchers or professionals, and MonTI will provide authors with a detailed explanation when an article is not considered worthy of publication.

Apart from the Board of Referees, there is a Board of Advisors made up by prestigious scholars whose main task will be to help us set our editorial policy and subject it to assessment.

The journal's legal ownership is held by the University of Alicante, Jaume I University, and the University of Valencia.

Peer Review Process

Articles will be reviewed by two accredited researchers, following a double-blind refereeing system.

A Board of Referees shall be appointed to review the articles submitted to the journal. The members of such board –referees with accredited research experience– will be appointed and renewed by the Editorial Board. If a referee submits an article or book review for publication in an issue, he/she will be excused from his/her reviewing duties for that issue.
