REVIEW

Articles which do not comply with all the requisites established in section "Format and Guidelines for Contributors" will be returned to the authors for their eventual correction.

The recived works will be analyzed with an plagiarism prevention tool. The Editor Team of the journal may reject the works if it considers that they present plagiarism or a high number of coincidences with other texts.

In order to maintain anonymity, authors are requested to refrain from referring to themselves in the first person, and that do not include data in the article that allow your identification (if the article is evaluated positively, personal data may be added before publication).

Articles which comply with all the requisites will be subject to a double process of evaluation:

At first, the members of the Editorial Board of the journal will make a selection of the works received, assessing whether each article meets the following requirements: 1. The work reaches the level required for academic articles; 2. The wording and the idiomatic uses are correct; 3. The bibliography is cited consistently and has sufficient bibliographic support; 4. The work complies with the conventions of academic articles and is not an essay or literary article; 5. The article can be evaluated anonymously. In this first phase, the articles can be evaluated as follows: "The article passes the first selection" / "The article passes the first selection if modifications are made" / "The article does not pass the first selection".

In a second moment, articles that have passed the first selection will be submitted to two experts in the field, not belonging to the journal's publishing institution, for a blind examination. The external reviewers will complete an evaluation form in which they will qualify (according to the scale N = nothing / P = little / S = sufficient / B = enough / M = much) the following aspects of the article: 1. Originality and scientific interest; 2. Depth or solidity; 3. Methodology; 4. Structure and clarity and 5. Bibliography. The external reviewers will make one or more of the following recommendations on the article: “Publishable” / “Publishable with content modifications” / “Publishable with formal or bibliographic modifications” / “Not publishable”. Likewise, external reviewers may make the indications, suggestions or corrections they deem appropriate.

Should the evaluations be contradictory, the Editorial Board would request a third evaluation and then decide whether to publish the article. The decision of the Editorial Board is final and the authors will be informed of the decision within a maximum of ninety days following the reception of the paper (the evaluators' leave time will not to be included in this ninety-day period). As the journal is committed to carrying out the evaluation process in a brief period of time and as a consideration to the referees, authors are kindly asked not to submit their article to another journal until they have received the results of the evaluation.

Articles with two positive reports will be sent to the authors to make the corrections suggested by the evaluators. The authors have a maximum period of one month to return articles which will be published when they are corrected.
