Actas de Derecho Industrial y Derecho de Autor

ADI will only accept original and unpublishedresearch works written in Spanish, English, Portuguese or Galician. Extraordinarily, works for the first-time publication in Spanish, that has originally been published in a different language of the above mentioned, may well be accepted.

Deadline and acceptance of the originals

Notification indicating the purpose to submit an article must be sent to the editor (actas.derecho.industrial@usc.es) or directly to any member of the journal’s secretary before January, 30^th of every year. A provisional title should be included within the notification. Original articles must be sent to the Institute of Industrial Law (actas.derecho.industrial@usc.es) no further than March, 30^th of the current year. Authors will be informed whether their article has been accepted for publication no later than May 15^th.

Assessment system and external assessors

All the articles submitted to ADI will be undergone to a confidential review by two experts who are not members of the editorial team, in accordance with the international criteria. This procedure is blind and the assessors will not know the identity of the author, neither the author the identity of the assessors. Whether the assessors propose modifications to the wording or phrasing of the original, it will be the editorial team’s responsibility – after notification to the author – monitoring the rewriting procedure of the article. Whether the article will not be accepted for publication, it will be returned to the author together with the assessors’ comments. The secretary of the journal will inform the authors at their earliest convenience, and always no later than May 15th about the rejection of an article. When the authors do not hear from the editorial team before May 15^th, it will indicate the acceptance of their article, which will be published in the volume of ADI for that year.

Publishing rights in all formats of the accepted and published articles are held by the University of Santiago de Compostela. No remuneration is offered to authors or external assessors for their collaboration with ADI.
