SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE

The structure of the Estudios y Documentos. Historia series consists of a Scientific Committee and an Editorial Board. The Scientific Committee is composed of the following scholars: Luis A. Ribot García (Full Professor of Modern History at UNED and Full Member of the Real Academia de la Historia), Anne Dubet (Full Professor at Université Blaise Pascal, France), Gaetano Sabatini (Full Professor at Università Roma Tre, Italy), Walther Bernecker (Full Professor at Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg), Jordi Canal (Professor at L’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris), and Marie-Angèle Orobon (Maître de conférences at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3). This Committee approves the appointment of reviewers and resolves in case of conflicting reports on the annual selection of works for publication.

It is assisted by an Editorial Board composed of the following professors of Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Valladolid: Ricardo Martín de la Guardia (Full Professor of Contemporary History and Director of the series), Antonio Cabeza Rodríguez (Associate Professor of Modern History and Secretary of the series), Alberto Marcos Martín (Full Professor of Modern History), Margarita Torremocha Hernández (Full Professor of Modern History), Guillermo Ángel Pérez (Full Professor of Contemporary History), and Enrique Berzal de la Rosa (Associate Professor of Contemporary History). The mission of the Editorial Board is to support the decisions of the Scientific Committee, meeting periodically at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Valladolid (with minutes duly recorded according to the agenda). Via electronic means (videoconference and email), it keeps the members of the Scientific Committee fully informed, transmitting their recommendations to the Publications Service.

EDITORIAL POLICY

The editorial policy of the Estudios y Documentos series remains consistent with the criteria established at its founding in 1953: to prioritize the publication of unpublished studies on Modernity, understood as encompassing both the Early Modern and Contemporary periods. The established length is approximately 250 pages (under no circumstances exceeding 700,000 characters, including spaces). As agreed in the minutes of the meeting held on 22 April 2005, the publication of doctoral theses is to be avoided, as these have their own dedicated venues for publication.
