Cuadernos de Lingüística de El Colegio de México is an open-access electronic peer-reviewed journal, published twice yearly (January-June and July-December). Its aim is to disseminate current linguistic research about any language and from different theoretical approaches. We thus seek for the papers published to advance our understanding of natural languages, either from a theoretical or from a purely descriptive point of view. Our target audience are researchers, professors and students specialized in linguistics.
Peer Review Process
CLECM follows a strict double-blind review system. Our reviewers are internationally renowned scholars. All submissions are initially assessed by the Editors or a member of the Editorial Board, who verifies if the submission fits the scope of journal and meets the standards expected in an academic publication. Once the submission passes this first filter, it is sent to two anonymous reviewers who may accept the contribution, suggest minor corrections, suggest that the paper should be reviewed and resubmitted or reject it. If the evaluations of the two reviewers are contradictory, the paper is sent to a third reviewer. When major revisions are required, the paper will normally be sent for at least one further review and will also be assessed by the Editors of the journal. A cover letter explaining all the changes made to the contribution is expected to accompany all revised submissions.
The final decision of publication rests solely on the Editors and the Editorial Board.
All contributions should be unpublished and must not have been simultaneously submitted to any other journal.
During the review and editing process, the Editors and the Editorial Board may ask the author for changes in their contributions. Also, the author might be contacted in order to solve minor form or content issues.
