Peer review
Review process
The manuscripts received will be sent to two external reviewers, using the double-blind system, selected "ad hoc". This process will not take more than four months. The originals will not be considered accepted for publication in the annual volume of the journal until the evaluation process has been positively completed. Reviewers use the following form to review manuscripts: https://acortar.link/JOfR3L.
The arbitration system
All texts submitted to Lengua y Sociedad undergo a "double-blind peer review" process (the referees do not know the identity of the authors and vice versa), which preserves the anonymity of the authors and reviewers during the review process. The policy for delivery of peer reviews takes an average of 4 to 6 months, except in the case of incidents. The reviewers receive the request for evaluation with a suggested deadline and their commitment is requested to avoid delays. The deadline for scientific evaluation of the papers at this stage includes time for scientific review, comments and final acceptance). In case of questions, authors may write to revistalenguaysociedad.flch@unmsm.edu.pe and cila.letras@unmsm.edu.pe
Evaluation system

- Article accepted without modifications.
- Article conditionally accepted, adjusting the aspects indicated in the evaluation.
- Article rejected, but the author is offered the opportunity to re-evaluate it if he/she modifies it according to the guidelines suggested in the evaluation.
- Article rejected for the reasons indicated in the evaluation and cannot be resubmitted to the journal.
Response time
Authors receive a response indicating the result of their evaluation on average after 4 to 8 months from the submission of the manuscript. Authors can follow up on their manuscript through the platform and can make queries through the journal's e-mail address. The response times may be shorter in relation to the reception of the reports from the blind peers, in a period of one month.
