Estudios de Asia y África accepts original research articles in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, although texts in other languages may be considered. At least two peers review each research article. They may accept the article for publication, accept it subject to changes, demand that the article be reviewed again after changes are made or reject it. When the authors upload the corrected version of their text, they are requested to send as well a special form in which they register the changes that they have introduced to their text in line with requests made by the reviewers, while noting, with an argument, those with which they totally disagree.

Texts for Translations from Asian and African languages are also reviewed by two peers.

Texts for other sections of the Journal, such as Current Asia and Africa, Review Articles and Book Reviews are reviewed by one peer.
