Once the articles are received, the members of the Editorial Board send them to the reviewers for approval. In the event that there are suggestions for modifications, the text is returned to the authors, so that, within an agreed period, it can be forwarded to them for publication.

The evaluation and approval of the articles is carried out under the “double blind” modality, in order to maintain the reserve of both the author and the evaluator. This guarantees that in no case there is a conflict of interest in the publication. At the end of each article appear the initials of the person in charge of communicating between the author and the reader, as well as the delivery and final approval dates.

The evaluation attends to aspects such as the originality of the article, the academic quality, the relevance, the methodology and the supporting literature.
