Proceso de revisión por pares

Review process

1. The authors send the text to the Journal though the OJS platform, into which they must check in. The whole process takes place on the platform.
2. Once the text is received on the OJS platform, a first review of the contribution is done by the editorial board, in order to determine that it fulfills all of the requirements established in the authors guidelines. If the contributions fulfill them, it will pass to the next stage.
3. A text analysis is done with a coincidence anti plagiarism software. If the text is found original, it passes to the next stage.
4. The text is sent to two reviewers, who are experts on the field of the text and are independent from the Journal and belong to another institution to that of the authors, and have no conflict of interest on the text’s subject. The review is double-blind. If there is a discrepancy between the two reviewers, the text will be sent to a third reviewer. It is necessary to count with two “publishable with major changes” or superior in order for the text to be publishable.
5. The authors are informed about the result of the review. In case the text obtains a “publishable” or “publishable with major or minor changes” result, the authors receive the petition for the mentioned changes.
6. Once the pertinent changes are done, the authors upload on the OJS platform the corrected text, as well as the Answer to dictamination sheet.
7. The corrected text is sent to style correction, design edition and page layout.
8. The layed out text is published on the platform continuously.
