MANUSCRIPT REVIEW PROCESS
The editorial board comprises Participating Editors, Honorary Editors, Associate Editors, and Coordinating Editors, who read and evaluate manuscripts. Any one or more of these editors may be responsible for organizing a special issue. Manuscripts are normally evaluated by two Participating Editors (at least one Latin American) and two members of the Editorial Collective. The Editorial Collective consists of the Coordinating Editors, who make decisions and who are assisted by the Associate Editors and by Interns. The Collective decides if the manuscript is to be accepted in its present form, returned to the author for revision, deferred for resubmission, or rejected. In all decisions, the reviewers' comments will be sent to the author. Either a Coordinating Editor or an Issue Editor will serve as liaison between the author and other editors. For authors who so wish, the liaison will provide editorial assistance or settle any substantial disagreement among reviewers. An author who feels that important views have been rejected may appeal; this will be reviewed by all Coordinating Editors. Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal.
The journal handles many submissions in various stages of the review process. A manuscript decision will typically be made within 3-4 months of the submission date. However, due to the professional obligations of our editors, as well as submission volume, occassional delays may occur in the review proces. The LAP office does everything it can to expedite the review and decision process.
Except in special cases, all reviews should take the form of review essays that critically discuss the major themes dealt with in two or more books that focus on the same or related subject(s).
Manuscripts should be between 5 and 15 pages of double-spaced text in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Submit two copies along with a cover sheet and basic biographical information. With these items, we also require that the manuscript be sent on a CD-R or by e-mail. The LAP style guide is available on request or online.
