About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Nueva Revista de Filología Hispánica publishes articles and notes about Spanish and Spanish-American literature, Hispanic linguistics and literary and linguistic methodology and theory, in addition to book and article reviews, and a specialized and classified bibliography. The journal has been edited by the Centro de Estudios Lingüísticos y Literarios of El Colegio de México since 1947, and it is issued twice a year in January and July.

Apart from the traditional printed edition, the Nueva Revista has an open-access online version. It is financed by public funds managed by El Colegio de Mexico. NRFH is published in Spanish, in accordance with its academic field. It is addressed to the international community of Hispanists, with the aim to contribute to the most rigorous scientific research of the Spanish language and the Hispanic literatures.

Peer Review Process

NRFH follows a strict double-blind review system. Our reviewers are internationally renown 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All contributions should be unpublished and must not have been simultaneously submitted to any other journal.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.
