Comillas Pontifical University Publications

of a specialised nature, this line brings together monographs that present research results in the various areas of knowledge relevant to our institution (Philosophy, Theology, Canon Law, Social Sciences, Education, etc.). Its aim is to respond to the universities' commitment to the development of science and to stimulate the creation of works of scientific quality. They are governed by the criteria established by the CEA/APQ Quality Seal and are subject to a double-blind peer review process where the evaluators determine not only the quality of the content but also its interest for the community to which it is addressed. The publication of scientific journals falls within the same scope.

publications designed for university teaching, intended for the academic support of students. Multidisciplinary in nature, they have a practical orientation for students of a given subject and serve the purpose of supporting teaching management, constituting the recommended bibliography of a subject. A departmental endorsement will be considered positively when applying for the publication of teaching texts. The original will be assessed by the member of the Editorial Board of the area most closely related to the subject of the book. If the report of the advisor is positive, having heard the director of the corresponding department, the Publisher will assume it as its own, allowing the publication to be carried out. In the event of a negative report, the Editorial Board must give its opinion on the matter, and other complementary opinions may be sought if deemed appropriate. Most of them will be collected in the Textos docentes collection.

The social projection of the knowledge produced within the university framework and the transfer of knowledge drives the publication of collections aimed at a more general public (readers with a medium-high cultural level, university students and teachers, secondary education, etc.), based on a rigorous concept of cultural dissemination. In addition to these collections, and as a facet of cultural dissemination, magazines are published on different disciplines of knowledge such as education or science. For the approval of this type of proposal, an internal and/or external report may be requested.

texts linked to more strictly institutional activity (tribute books, honorary doctorates, inaugural lectures), as well as works dealing with historical and heritage aspects of the university institution. These publications, by their nature, do not require the blind peer review system.
