Peer Review Process
Peer review (double blind system)
All submitted articles will be sent to at least two external scientific referees. The referees will send their evaluation to the journal's Editorial Board via a peer review form.
Editorial process
1. When a manuscript is received an email will be sent to its author as acknowledgement of receipt.
2. The manuscript will be subjected to an initial review by a member of the Editorial Board to ensure that it meets the journal's submission requirements, which can be found in both the journal's online version and its printed form.
3. Once it has been confirmed that the manuscript meets the minimum requirements in terms of format and originality, it will be sent to the external scientific referees for review. The referees are asked to return their report within one month.
4. Once all reports have been received, the Editorial Board will meet and decide, in view of the reports, which papers are accepted for publication and which are not, and, in the case of acceptance, in which section they will appear.
5. The authors will be informed of the result immediately, along with any suggestions made by the referees to improve the paper.
6. The Secretary of the Editorial Board will send the authors of accepted papers a single proof, in PDF format, of the formatted article, which must be returned with the suggestions made (if any) within 15 days.
If certain modifications have been recommended to the author as a condition to being published, one of the members of the Editorial Board will ensure that these modifications have been made.
7. Once the proof has been corrected and returned by the authors, the paper will be published in the journal's online version and later in the print version.
The authors will be informed about the status of the manuscript by means of notifications and emails generated by the OJS throughout the editorial process.
