Scope and policy
1. Describes the publishing policy of the journal The e-JPH is a peer reviewed international journal. Its ethos is a pluralist one. It does not subscribe to any particular ideological, theoretical or methodological approach. The editors of e-JPH aim at publishing quality, blind refereed articles covering any period within any sub-field of historical research. 2. Specifies the areas of interest of the publication and the type of texts to be included under different categories The Journal’s main objective is to provide publication of scholarly work on historical subjects, especially those concerning themes and topics of Portuguese history analyzed in comparative perspective. Historically oriented contributions from the different social sciences are also welcome. It is furthermore the aim of the journal to offer new insights on developments in Portuguese historiography, as well as to provide news and information on research activities concerning Portuguese history. Contributions to e-JPH will be considered for the following sections: Articles 3. Reports the procedures of valuation by pairs (peer review) All articles go through the following procedures: a) The text is sent to all the 6 Editors in order to pronounce themselves about the interest of the article within the aim of the Journal and to point out the name of two referees. b) When Editors agree with the referees' choice, the text (without any identification from the author) is sent to double blind referees, asking for an opinion about the scientific profile of the article. After receiving the two reports, they are sent to the author for consideration, reformulation or better reasoning. c) After receiving the author's answer, or a new text, it goes back to the two referees in order to make sure everything was changed regarding the suggestions made. If there is an incompatibility between the author and the referees, a third referee may be appointed or, in extreme situations, all the Editors may have a last opinion. d) The Editors will endeavor to inform authors, as soon as possible, about decisions on papers submitted. Contributions will be acknowledged upon receipt but contributors must be expected to wait up to 6 months before notification of acceptance, conditional acceptance, encouragement to revise and re-submit or rejection. e) After receiving the last agreement from the referees, the text is sent to the journal’s official translator in order to be revised by a native speaker expert. f) The text in English is, finally, sent to composition. It is sent to one of the assistant to the Editors, who makes a last revision of the article, sometimes getting in touch with the authors to enlighten some details. After, he prepares the final layout. g) When all the above mentioned preparation is complete, the texts are sent to Brown University. Before all the public has access to the article (versions on line/html-pdf), the author is asked to make sure everything is in good order and he still may suggest some last minute small alterations. 4.
