All submissions should be in Word/RTF format.

Recommended length of contributions:
- Articles: 5000–8000 words (including footnotes and references).
- Notes: 3000–5000 words (including footnotes and references).
Notes should be pieces of research focusing on a specific point, not needing a broad theoretical or contextual elaboration.
- Reviews: 1000–1500 words. Books, plays, or films reviewed should have been released in the last two years.
Performance reviews: SEDERI collaborates with www.ReviewingShakespeare.com. Reviews about Shakespearean performances submitted for publication to the Sederi Yearbook will be also sent to www.ReviewingShakespeare.com, who will decide on their suitability for publication on their webpage. Inversely, a selection of reviews of Spanish and Portuguese productions of Shakespeare’s plays submitted directly to the webpage will be published in SEDERI Yearbook.
All the submitted articles and notes should include an abstract (100 words) and 5 keywords. Both the abstract and the keywords should convey the essential aspects of your contribution. They will be published in English, Spanish and Portuguese. If you cannot translate them into these languages, please let us know.

Submissions will be sent to two referees for assessment, following a blind peer-review policy. In case of disagreement, a third report will be decisive. If the paper is accepted for publication, the authors may be asked to consider the referees’ suggestions and to bring it into line with our style sheet. The contributions, in their final form, will go through copyediting, layout, and proofreading. Once published, the authors will receive a copy of the issue in which their work is included.
