Author Guidelines

Anales de Edificación is an “Open Access” online publication. Articles will be published in PDF format, and will be available free of charge to readers immediately after online publication, without any restriction at the following email address: http://polired.upm.es/index.php/anales_de_edificacion/

Submission of manuscripts for evaluation and approval

Manuscripts should preferably be written in Spanish or English. Submitted manuscripts will be reviewed first from a linguistic point of view. Manuscripts with a poor quality level in this aspect will be returned without being evaluated. Submission of a manuscript implies that all co-authors have approved and accepted the content of the submitted text, tables, graphical material and any other supplementary material provided. The contact author will be responsible for ensuring that all co-authors have correct information about the submitted manuscript. All submissions must be accompanied by a cover letter or a text that clearly indicates the original and unpublished nature of the content of the manuscript, and that it has not been sent simultaneously to another publication for assessment. Anales de Edificación subjects all manuscripts received to an originality verification process offered by Turnitin, LLC.
