Abstract

Reseña de la obra mencionada.

Review

The submission is presented with a title that is, in fact, a complete bibliographic reference to a recently published academic work: *Campesinas, burguesas y señoras en la Baja Edad Media*, coordinated by Mario Lafuente Gómez and Ángela Muñoz Fernández, and published by Prensas de la Universidad de Zaragoza in 2024. The accompanying abstract, concisely stating "Reseña de la obra mencionada" (Review of the aforementioned work), unequivocally indicates that the submitted article itself constitutes a book review. From a journal review standpoint, this abstract provides minimal information for evaluation. While it clearly identifies the article's genre and the specific book under discussion, it offers no insight into the content, scope, or critical approach of the review itself. Key elements typically expected in an abstract – such as the reviewer's main arguments, the aspects of the book highlighted, any critical perspectives offered, or its overall contribution to the field of studies on women in the Late Middle Ages – are entirely absent. This brevity leaves a potential reader, and certainly a journal reviewer, with no basis to assess the quality or depth of the review article. Consequently, while the subject matter (women in the Late Middle Ages) is highly relevant to various historical disciplines, the current submission's abstract makes it impossible to judge the article's scholarly merit or its value to the journal's readership. For future submissions, authors of review articles are strongly encouraged to provide more detailed abstracts that summarize the critical commentary, the reviewer's stance, and the significance of the book being reviewed, thereby allowing for a proper initial assessment of the contribution.
