A student-led journal 

Popularly known as CICE, the journal was born out of our students’ interest in 1997. The journal's spirit, which continues until these days, was to provide a discussion forum about new trends, pressing contemporary issues, and novel theoretical and methodological approaches, creating room for underrepresented voices in our field while following the highest scientific standard. For this reason, since the beginning, CICE has been an open-access journal aiming to avoid any paywalls or other access restrictions commonly found in academia. As such, the journal encourages master and doctoral students and early career researchers to submit their work, an objective largely accomplished during these years. 

Following the double-blinded peer review criteria, each article, essay, or book review submitted to our journal is assigned to reviewers with relevant expertise on the subject. In some cases, when appropriate, external reviews are also invited to participate in the process. Once the reviewers give comments and suggestions for each article, the editor-in-chief communicates with the office to advance or not in the publishing process. Frequently, a few additional lines of rounds of reviews and comments between the editor-in-chief on the author's happened, and those pieces selected for publication or later assigned to the copyeditors, in charge of working closely with the authors for revising citations, grammar, and other editorial items.
