Hispania

Hopkins Press does not require potential contributors to pay an article submission fee in order to be considered for publication in any of the Journals that we publish. Any other website that purports to be affiliated with a Hopkins Press Journal and that requires you to pay an article submission fee is fraudulent. Do not provide payment information. Instead, we ask that you contact William Breichner, Hopkins Press Journals Publisher: wbreich1@jh.edu.

Hispania uses the online submissions system ScholarOne. Please click below to submit article manuscripts and invited book/media reviews for consideration: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hispan.

New users must first create a ScholarOne account by clicking on “Register here” under the “New User?” heading to the right of log-in screen. Hispania’s submission guidelines can be accessed in ScholarOne.

CALL FOR RESEARCH ARTICLES (ONGOING)

Hispania invites the submission of original, unpublished manuscripts on language, linguistics, literature, film, culture, cultural studies, applied linguistics, and pedagogy having to do with Spanish and Portuguese. Submissions should display thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the subject and field. Submissions cannot be under consideration by other journals or publish- ers. Each eligible submitted research article will be evaluated in external peer review. Further considerations in the evaluation of manuscripts include contribution to the advancement of knowledge, originality of method or focus, organization, and clarity of expression. Submissions of essays between 7,000–9,500 words may be in English, Portuguese, or Spanish.

CALL FOR SHORT-FORM ARTICLES (ONGOING)

Hispania invites submissions of Short-form Articles that consider in-depth topics of interest to K–20 educators in the fields of Spanish and Portuguese and be authored by teacher-scholars at all levels. All short-form submissions should promote an inclusive and forward-thinking vision for the second century of the AATSP and should be free of biased language, unsup- ported speculation, and content that might be regarded as promotional. Short-form Articles are editorially reviewed, instead of undergoing external peer review. Submissions of essays must consist of 1,500–3,000 words of body text (no notes are permitted) and may be written in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis and should be sent to bfraser@aatsp.org.

CALL FOR BOOK/MEDIA REVIEWS (ONGOING)

If you are interested in reviewing books and/or media, please contact the Editor: ddumitrescu@aatsp.org. Hispania will not accept unsolicited reviews and does not publish reviews of works more than two years old. If you have a specific title in mind, please consult the Editor. We especially encourage offers to review film and other media resources. Members of the AATSP who wish to be considered as reviewers of book/media reviews must register on ScholarOne (see above) and send their CV to the Book/Media Review Editor. Publishers and authors should contact Editor Dumitrescu  before sending her the book. Submitted materials will not be returned to publishers or authors, even if they are not selected for review. Because of the number of works that correspond to Hispania’s broad scope, not all requests to review specific items can be granted. An invitation to review does not guarantee publication. All reviews must pass through a double- anonymous review process and publication decisions are based upon reviewer comments and the discretion of the editors.
