Article review process

All articles are submitted to a preliminary editorial assessment by the Editorial Committee. This Committee reserves, in the first instance, the right to determine whether the articles are within the Journal's scope of interest and topics, evaluating their relevance, originality, and quality. Likewise, the Editorial Committee determines whether the articles received comply with the indispensable requirements of a scientific article, as well as with all editorial guidelines established here. The Editorial Committee will notify the authors in case their submissions are rejected without the external review detailed below.

Manuscripts that pass the preliminary editorial evaluation are subjected to a standard evaluation known as "double-blind peer review." Depending on the subject matter, each paper is assigned for evaluation to two national or international specialists. Following the Journal's guidelines for articles, translations and literary reviews, external evaluators state if the work is publishable, publishable with suggestions, publishable with necessary corrections, or unpublishable, according to their expertise on the subject.

Based on the opinions sent by the peer reviewers and the improvements made by the authors based on the received feedback, the Editorial Committee decides to publish, ask for more corrections, send the articles again to external reviewers, or reject the submitted manuscript. In the event of dissenting opinions among the reviewers, the Editorial Committee decides on the matter. The decision is final and not subject to appeal. The final decisions taken are communicated to the authors after an average time of four months.
