Joint Statement from the Universities of Glasgow and Liverpool

Dispute concerning the
Bulletin of Hispanic Studies

A dispute arose in 1995 concerning the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies.
Since
1995 separate versions of a journal with this name have been edited and
published from the Universities of Liverpool and Glasgow.

Both versions trace their origins to the journal started by Edgar
Allison
Peers in 1923, which was between 1923 and 1948 published under the name
of
the Bulletin of Spanish Studies and from 1949 to 2001 under the name of
the
Bulletin of Hispanic Studies.

All parties are pleased to announce that this dispute has been resolved
through a mutually satisfactory settlement, arrived at after detailed
discussions on 15 January 2001 and 7 August 2001, facilitated by
mediation
procedures.  In the best interests of Hispanic Studies, the following
agreement has been reached:

· During 2001 the two journals will continue to be published under the
title
the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies.

· After 1 January 2002, in order to distinguish between the two
journals,
the Glasgow publication will use the journals original title, the
Bulletin
of Spanish Studies and the Liverpool publication will use the present
title,
the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies.

· The inside cover of the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies will carry the
statement "This Bulletin has been published continuously from Liverpool
since its foundation by Edgar Allison Peers in 1923".  The inside cover
of
the Bulletin of Spanish Studies will carry the statement "This Bulletin
has
been edited by Edgar Allison Peers and his successors since 1923".

· Each journal will assume a new cover design and new colours from 1
January
2002.

· Both journals will continue to serve the broad field of Hispanic
scholarship -- through publishing research articles and reviews on the
languages, literatures and civilizations of Spain, Portugal and Latin
America.

· From the January 2002 issue of their respective Volumes LXXIX, 2002,
each
journal will continue to use the same volume numbering as has been used
to
date based on an initial publication date of 1923.

· The parties will jointly request from the ISSN UK Centre at the
British
Library a completely new separate ISSN for each journal.  From 1 January
2002 both journals will cease to use the original ISSN Number (ISSN
0007-490X).
