SUBMISSION

To submit articles, you must have a username and password on the magazine's website. If it is a research carried out in co-authorship, the authors must designate a corresponding author, with whom the Editor will maintain constant communication during the process of arbitration and publication of the manuscript.

PRELIMINARY REVIEW

The articles received are previously evaluated by the members of the Editorial Committee, who will determine, as a prediction, their exclusion or approval to the next stage.

• The criteria taken into consideration are the following:

• Adaptation to the line of research (scope) of the journal.

• Compliance with the rules for authors.

• Compliance with the principles of academic ethics (originality, plagiarism, theft of authorship, among others).

• Application of good editorial practices.

REVIEWERS

The referees are academics and researchers, mostly external to the Editorial Committee, with recognized prestige in their field at a national and international level. Your assignment as a reviewer will depend on the topics and specialties addressed in the manuscript, fulfilling your role in complete anonymity.

PEER REVIEW

The evaluation of the manuscripts is carried out through the double-blind peer review modality, in which the reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

For each evaluated manuscript, a minimum of 2 reviewers are appointed; and between five to ten reviewers for the total number of articles in each issue.

The general considerations that the review follows are the following:

- At least two (2) referees will be appointed for each article.

- For the evaluation and ruling on each article, the referees will use an evaluation guide that includes the prioritized criteria and the corresponding scores, with a scale of 0 – 20 points.

- To carry out their work, the referees will receive an anonymous version of the article to be evaluated and the reviewer evaluation form that they must use.

The result of the arbitration can be:

1. Accepted without modifications or with minor modifications.

2. Conditional on review and reassessment.

3. Rejected

When the opinions do not coincide, the procedure will be:

◙ Between 1-2 it will be worth 2 and the proposed modifications will be requested to be incorporated.

◙ Between 1-3 the participation of a third referee is required; The coincident opinion is assumed and the different opinion is discarded.

◙ Between 2-3 it will be worth 3 and the article will be rejected.

For articles that require modifications, once the authors return the corrected version, it will be sent to the referee who gave the most unfavorable opinion to verify the lifting of the observations and provide their final opinion.
