Peer review process

The Editorial Committee is responsible for the initial selection of articles. During this phase, the scientific quality of the submission is assessed, and a plagiarism check is conducted using Turnitin software to ensure consistency with the journal's scope and editorial criteria. Following this review, articles may be accepted to proceed to double-blind peer review, modifications may be requested to adjust the manuscript, or the submission may be rejected.

All manuscripts received undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. This procedure ensures impartiality, objectivity, and scientific rigor in editorial decisions. Each article is evaluated by at least two specialists external to the editorial committee, who assess originality, relevance, methodological validity, and contribution to scientific knowledge in the corresponding field. This review is conducted using a standardized evaluation form; reviewers issue a verdict in which the manuscript is accepted without changes, accepted subject to changes, or rejected.

If changes to the manuscript are required, the revised version must be submitted by the dates stipulated by the Editorial Committee to be considered for publication. In the event of a controversy—specifically, when the evaluators' verdicts do not align—the Editorial Committee will appoint a third reviewer to reach a final decision.
