Instructions for the submission of manuscripts and the editorial process

Accepted languages

Evaluation Process

1. All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original and must not have been previously published in other journals or as a book chapter.
2. Once the work has been sent, the authors will receive an acknowledgement by e-mail with the date of receipt. This date will be considered as the starting point of the evaluation process.
3. The works received by the journal will be analyzed by two or more referees (at least one of them will always be an external specialist and will not belong to either the Editorial Board or the Advisory Board of the journal), who will not know the identity of the author, and who will issue a report on the scientific content, originality, adequacy to the editorial line of the journal and interest of the article.
4. All the reports follow a model previously established by the journal's Editorial Board, which refers to both the form and content of the work and its suitability for the journal's editorial line.
5. In the event that the work is accepted for publication in the first instance, the authors must take into account the referees' report(s) in order to re-elaborate, if necessary, the aspects indicated.
6. In any case, in view of the corrections made, the final decision on the publication of a work falls on the Editorial Board.
