Evaluation process

All papers submitted to the journal are subject to external evaluation. For the dictation of the articles, specialists from different scientific disciplines and national and international institutions participate. The database of evaluators of the magazine has been built from the recommendations of the Scientific Committee, as well as the study of the candidacies of authors who presented themselves voluntarily.

Since the first edition, the magazine works with the system Open Journal Systems (OJS). EThis is an open source program for journal management.

All articles must be original and unpublished and must not be applying for any evaluation process in another journal or other editorial bodies. Submission of articles in Spanish, Portuguese and English is accepted. To facilitate the process of submitting articles according to the criteria established by the journal, in addition to offering detailed information, all the writing specifications are provided in Information for authors

The time to notify the authors of the result of the first review of their work will never exceed 2 months from the date of receipt of the original.

All works received will be uploaded to a plagiarism detector in order to generate a similarity report about their content. Those works that reach a percentage of similarity greater than 20% will be rejected for publication. The results will be analyzed by expert personnel. Both the report and the reflective comment of the specialist will be sent to the author so that he can argue his position on the matter, so that the journal can verify if it is a behavior linked to plagiarism or not, being in the first case the Work rejected for evaluation.

For more details, see the Transparency and plagiarism detection section.

The received original will be evaluated by at least two external reviewers. The reviewers are external to the Editorial Team and independent, selected by the Editorial Team, to judge the suitability of its publication and, where appropriate, will suggest the appropriate rectifications.

The results of the review may be:

1. The acceptance of the article.

2. Acceptance subject to making suitable changes.

3. Acceptance only with the suggested changes.

4. Not suitable for publication.

The basic criteria for the evaluation of the articles will be:

• Relevance: work scientific contribution

• Pertinence: if the article responds to a context problem.
• Thematic content: development of the framework text, understood as construction and logical exposition of concepts, theories, standards and discipline problems.
• Methodological description and application: refers to the procedure used for development work, presentation, analysis and discussion of results in line with disciplinary character and type of study.
• Scientific and ethical integrity: the text must demonstrate behaviors and values of the authors that safeguard the rights of third parties and the rules of the subjects of protection.
• Editorial quality: the text must demonstrate attention in the quality of writing and rules of citation and reference requested.

We will notify the author of the outcome, whatever it is, and will provide a copy of the reasoned justification provided by each referee. If we reject your article, we will provide reasons for this decision.

If we require changes, the author or authors have up to 1 month to react to the observations made. After this time no response, work will be rejected and filed. The external referees will also examine corrected versions before final approval is given.

The journal does not include charges for processing, sending, editing or publishing articles to the authors, that means, it will not suppose any economic cost for those authors who have their article approved in the evaluation process.

The journal will publish on its website and in the number indicated to the author/s the article approved in the evaluation process. Also, the author/s may disseminate the work after its publication in a social network for scientific diffusion and interaction between researchers. Some spaces would be ORCID, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Google Scholar, Mendeley, CTI Vitae (CONCYTEC) entre otros.
