Peer Review Process

EDITORIAL PROCESS:

Once the article is received:

Phase A: Article Reception. Expected duration: 1 month from the date of submission.

- The Technical Secretariat will verify that the submission meets the minimum requirements (Article format, Copyright transfer agreement, Author identification documents).

- The Technical Secretariat will verify that all metadata has been included.

Submissions that do not meet these requirements will be rejected.

Phase B: Peer Review. Expected duration: 2 months.

- The article will be assigned to reviewers. They will have one month to submit their report.

- Initially, two reviewers will be assigned. In case of disagreement, the editorial team may appoint a third reviewer.

- Responses to the authors:

1. ACCEPTED

2. ACCEPTED WITH PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS (THE AUTHOR WILL HAVE 30 DAYS TO MAKE THE MODIFICATIONS)

3. REJECTED

In case 2, a new evaluation period will be established, sending the modified article back to the initial reviewers. They may make the appropriate proposals, opening a new 30-day period.

If, after a second review, the deficiencies found persist, the article will be rejected.

Phase C: Publication Proposal

- Once the evaluation process is complete, the Editorial Committee, in a plenary meeting, will propose the assignment of the article to a future issue, which will take a maximum of 12 months from the date of receipt of the article and, if applicable, to the issue following that period.
