Commitment of the authors

  • Originality of the manuscript: the authors confirm that the manuscript has not been published before and contains no content similar to the one of other authors.
  • Simultaneous manuscripts: the authors confirm that the   manuscript has not been sent for its publication as an article of a congress, article of another journal, chapter of a book or any other similar publication.
  •  Original sources: The authors correctly provide the bibliographic    sources used for the manuscript. The journal through the URKUND anti-plagiarism system will review the originality, if the article presents a lower matching level it will be accepted; otherwise, it will be rejected.
  • Authorship: The authors of the articles guarantee the inclusion of people who have made substantial academic-scientific contributions to the manuscript. The journal accepts the order of authors in the article, once sent to review none modifications will be done.
  • Conflict of interest: the authors who write in the journal have an obligation to point out that there are no conflicts of interest with entities related to the manuscripts.
  • Responsibility: The authors are committed to do a review of the relevant and current scientific literature to extend perspectives, visions and horizons of the subject analyzed; they are also committed to make all the corrections sent by the reviewers and to comply with the submission process of the article.

Commitment of the reviewers

  • Role of the reviewers: the evaluation process of articles is presented by blind revision to guarantee impartiality; reviewers are specialists in the topic and the authors will not know their identities. The reviewers issue academic criteria with ethics, transparency and knowledge in order to maintain the scientific quality of the journal.
  • Fulfillment of the expected deadlines and academic reserves: it is necessary that the reviewers comply with the time assigned for the revision of the manuscript; the date of the results will be notified by the platform. Similarly, the designated reviewers will retain the confidentiality of the manuscript.
  •  Objectivity: The reviewers are obliged to provide enough reasons for their appraisals. They will deliver their report critically, following the corresponding review template.
  • Publicity of the articles and conflict of interest: Once the final report of the reviewers has been issued, whose rank will be 17 as a minimum note and 20 as maximum, the authors, through the platform, will make the corresponding changes until obtaining 20/20. In this process, there will be a sense of reservation between the two parties, and will be referred to reviewers taking care that there is no mutual interest for any reason

Commitment of the editors

  • Publication criteria of articles: editors will issue judgments of academic value, for this purpose they will request criteria from at least two national or international reviewers, and based on the reports the publication of articles shall be carried out. Articles will not remain accepted without publication.
  •  Honesty: Editors will evaluate manuscripts impartially; their report will be made on the basis of scientific merit of content, without discrimination.
  • Confidentiality: Publishers and members of the editorial board are committed to keep confidentiality of manuscripts, authors and reviewers.
  • Time for publication: The periodicity of the journal is quarterly; therefore, editors are the guarantors of the fulfillment of time limits for revisions and publication of accepted works.
