Focus and Scope
Cuadernos de Derecho Transnacional (CDT) is a biannual electronic scientific journal. CDT publishes research papers on private international law, uniform law, and comparative private law. It is a scientific journal that seeks to promote the study and advancement of private international law, European Union law, and comparative law.
CDT publishes papers in Spanish, but also in other languages such as English, French, Italian, and Portuguese. CDT seeks to be a forum for study, reflection, and academic debate among jurists from different legal systems, whether European or from states outside the European Union.
Therefore, CDT aims to contribute to the creation of solid legal knowledge, both theoretical and practical, and to contribute to new lines of research in which companies and individuals are at the heart of legal problems with a foreign element. Ultimately, CDT has a firm objective: to contribute scientific value and enable private international law to fulfill its role as a disruptor in the exchange of goods and services, foster economic progress, and enable a more ethical, sustainable, and just economy and society.
Peer Review Process
Peer evaluation process. The publication of the papers will be decided by the Direction of the Journal, with the participation of the Editorial Board and being advised by the Scientific Committee, based on an external, independent and anonymous evaluation (peer 2 peer review). The paper may be "accepted", "accepted with modifications" or "rejected". Depending on the nature of the paper, it will be included in the "Studies" section or in the "Varia" section.
Plagiarism control
Cuadernos de Derecho Transnacional in order to guarantee the academic integrity of the publication uses <<Feedback Studio>> , an application that allows reviewing documents by detecting incorrect citations or plagiarism.

CDT Policy Regarding the Use of Works Using Artificial Intelligence
The Cuadernos de Derecho Transnacional Journal establishes a policy of not allowing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in scientific publications in order to maintain the highest standards of scientific integrity. We are aware of the relevance of these tools and the impact of their use, but we will not accept works generated using these tools. This policy will be updated periodically to ensure its relevance.
Authorship policy
CDT considers an author of a published work to be someone who has made a significant intellectual contribution to it. Following the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), to be listed as an author, the following requirements must be met:
- They must have participated in the conception and design, or in the acquisition of data, or in the analysis and interpretation of data, of the work that resulted in the article.
- They must have participated in the writing or critical revision of the text.
- They must have approved the version that will be finally published.
Those who do not meet these three criteria may only be acknowledged in the acknowledgments. To avoid the risk of fictitious or assumed authorship, it is recommended that, at the time of submitting the document, all authors agree on their contributions and the order in which they will appear in the list of co-authors.
To specify the contribution of each author to the work, it is recommended to use the criteria established by the CRediT taxonomy (Contributor Roles Taxonomy).
