Author Guidelines

General considerations. Editorial policy

Since 2017 Potestas. Estudios del Mundo Clásico e Historia del Arte is a biannual electronic magazine, whose issues will be published in June and December on the OJS platform. The acceptance of articles for publication estará́ is conditioned by the positive opinion of two external evaluators in a double-blind peer-review process. The Submission of an article for evaluation implies that it is not previously published and that it is not being evaluated for another publication. In the case that an article previously published in Potestas would like to be published by its author in another medium, the author should mention this journal as the place of original publication. If you have any doubts about this, we recommend that you consult the Management of the Journal.
