Submitted works will undergo an initial review by the Editorial Board, which will assess their quality and thematic relevance and may reject them directly without external evaluation if they do not meet minimum requirements or are not relevant to the journal's subject matter.

Accepted submissions will be sent to two anonymous, external reviewers using a “double-blind method”, ensuring that neither authors nor reviewers know each other's identity.

This method guarantees an objective evaluation based solely on the scientific merit, originality, and relevance of the text, and maintains the privacy of both authors and reviewers throughout the entire process.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Although manuscripts are submitted anonymously, without names or information that could reveal authorship, if reviewers identify the author, they must declare any conflict of interest and decline the editor's invitation to review the work.

A conflict of interest may arise from:

• Professional, academic, or familial ties.

• Animosity toward the authors.

• Direct or indirect collaboration with the research under review.

• Any other type of connection or conflict.

CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTING A REVIEW

Reviewers will consider the following criteria for accepting or rejecting manuscript reviews:

• They will only undertake the review if they consider themselves competent in the subject matter they are asked to evaluate. They must have knowledge and experience in the topic.

• If accepted, they agree to respect the established deadlines for completion (generally 1 month). If rejected, they must notify the journal as soon as possible.

• Reviews must be thorough, critical, analytical, constructive, and well-reasoned. They must provide constructive criticism of the article, which, if necessary, allows the authors to improve it for publication or, if it is not publishable, guides them regarding the limitations that make it unsuitable for publication.

• Ethical considerations that reviewers must uphold: they will assume a commitment to confidentiality, meaning they may not disclose the content of the article to any third party during the entire process.

GUIDELINES FOR ARTICLE REVIEW

The review process may consist of several rounds of review.

First Round of Review

• The reviewers' tasks in the review process are:

• To complete the peer review form created by the journal editor, adding comments for the author regarding the manuscript review: suggestions, improvements, criticisms, or revisions necessary to enhance the work and its potential publication.

• To add confidential comments for the editors: any other considerations regarding the quality and acceptability of the manuscript, or any comments that the author does not wish to be shared with the author.

Once the evaluation is complete, and provided the article has not been rejected, the reviewer may recommend publishing the article as is or ask the author to make minor or major revisions to improve its quality.

In the case of major revisions, if the author agrees to make the modifications, they must submit the new version of the article along with a brief report detailing the changes made.

Second round of evaluation

A second round of evaluation will then be opened with the same reviewers from the first round. The new version of the article, along with the report, will be sent to them, and they will decide whether or not to approve its publication.

Communication of the evaluation results to the editorial board

The editorial decision regarding the manuscript rests with the editor, who will rely on the evaluation reports, considering both the comments and suggestions of the reviewers and the journal's own editorial criteria.

If the two requested evaluations are clearly inconsistent, a third evaluation may be requested.

Considering all this, the Editorial Board will decide:

• Approve the original for publication.

• Publish with the modifications suggested by the reviewers.

• Reject publication.

Communication of the result to the author(s)

The decision regarding the publication of your work will be communicated to the author(s) by email.
