Peer review process

The review process for articles goes through several stages:

  1. Firstly, the editorial board checks that the article complies with the journal's subject matter and, secondly, that it complies with the journal's rules of style. If it does not, the article will be rejected. In addition, it will be analysed for plagiarism (Turnitin). If this is not the case, it will pass to the second phase.One week maximum
  2. At this point, it is sent to two anonymous reviewers who are specialists in the subject to be reviewed through the double-blind procedure, and for possible publication there must be two positive reports and, in the event that there is one positive and one negative, another reviewer will be selected.Approximately 30 days
  3. After the review, the editorial board analyses the reports and informs the authors, including the reasons and the opinion for acceptance, revision or rejection of the articles submitted.

Open access policy

This is an open access journal, which means that all content is freely available at no charge to the user or their institution. Users may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text of articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without seeking prior permission from the publisher or author.

Anti-plagiarism

The journal maintains an anti-plagiarism policy that ensures that all published papers are unpublished and original, and have not been previously published in another format (in whole or in part), or are involved in any evaluation process or awaiting review by another publication or journal. We use the service for all documents that have passed the editorial classification process and are susceptible to being sent for blind peer review. In this sense, the contributions are intended to be unpublished, by means of Crossref. In addition, there are tools to detect plagiarism and for this purpose, we use Turnitin.
As for the process, first the article or review is passed through Turnitin to see if there is plagiarism by similarity. If it has a percentage higher than 25%, the proposal is withdrawn and commented to the author(s), and it is possible to send the article to the author(s) to explain and clarify the situation.
