Submissions

Original manuscripts should be submitted via email to raap@us.es, as indicated below in the Author guidelines.

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • I have stated my ORCID registration number under my affiliation.
  • This manuscript has not been previously published or considered by another journal (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice or Microsoft Word document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • I accept the review conditions that I can consult at the link Information for Authors.
  • The text adheres to the editing standards outlined in the Author Guidelines, on this same page below.
  • The topics of interest are administrative law and public administration, especially those relevant to understanding the law and institutions of the autonomous community of Andalusia.
  • The selected text is validated by the authors, who have granted the journal exclusive rights to reproduce it in scientific journals.
  • Submitting a manuscript implies a commitment not to withdraw it, unless RAAP rejects its publication; you disagree with the section the editorial board has determined for publication; or you disagree with the amendments the editorial board has considered necessary. It also implies a commitment not to publish the work anywhere else until the editorial board has issued a decision. Express acceptance of these conditions is an essential prerequisite for starting the evaluation process. Failure to comply with these conditions will allow RAAP to turn any other work by the same author down flat.

Finally, the author's name should be placed at the end, aligned to the right, followed by their academic or professional affiliation, and the ORCID registration number.

4. PUBLICATION PROCESS
RAAP, through its editorial board, will decide on the publication of the works once they have been reviewed by two external reviewers, experts in the field, applying a double-blind system.

Authors of manuscripts selected for publication may be required to correct the proofs, which must be returned within five days. Failure to do so may result in publication without further notice or non-publication. Only error corrections are permitted in this proofreading process; substantial changes to the proofs are not allowed.
