Editorial

It is a great pleasure to open this Editorial by informing Ibérica’s readership that the journal has renewed the Seal of Excellence (2016). This seal, which is awarded by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), is a recognition to those journals that fully comply with the high- quality standards set by FECYT. I would like to thank Ibérica’s national and international readership, as well as AELFE’s President and AELFE’s Executive Board for their institutional support to the journal. My special thanks, also, to the former journal Editor, the current editorial team, Editorial Board and International Editorial Board, for their generous time and dedication to the journal. Though in many different ways, and playing different roles, they have all supported the journal’s compliance with high quality standards and contributed to this achievement. ..
