Editorial process and editorial flow
Articles submitted to the journal are pre-screened by the editorial team, who decide whether the article can be accepted, rejected or if it requires modifications in content. Their decision will be based on the objectives and standards of the journal. Likewise, the percentage of similarity of the manuscripts is reviewed in Turnitin and the respective report is generated. Manuscripts selected for publication are then submitted to blind peer reviewers, as detailed in the reviewer policy. https://revistas.pj.gob.pe/revista/index.php/iusVocatio/reviewGuidelines.
Authors receive the reports through the platform and are given a deadline for the submission of observations and scopes. The new versions are sent to the reviewers and new Turnitin reports are issued. After the editorial decision, the team contacts the authors to submit the work to the proofreading team, which obtains the clean version to be sent to the layout team. Once the authors' approvals have been obtained, the publications are registered with DOI and the metadata is completed. Finally, the phase of dissemination and thanks to authors, reviewers and readers begins.

CRediT - Taxonomy of Academic Collaboration Roles
The journal is committed to promoting transparency and appropriate recognition of individual contributions to legal research. In line with this initiative, we have implemented the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) to clearly identify and attribute contributors' responsibilities in each of our articles, reduce disputes among authors, and encourage scholarly participationWe understand that legal research frequently involves collaborative work in which several individuals play diverse roles. Therefore, we have adopted the Credit to provide a more complete picture of who has contributed and to what extent to each article published in our journal.
Below are the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) role categories we use [1]:
- Conceptualization: Ideas; formulation or evolution of overall research objectives and goals.
- Data Curation: Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), clean data, and maintain research data (including software code, when necessary to interpret the data itself) for initial use and subsequent reuse.
- Formal analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize the study data.
- Acquisition of funding: Acquisition of financial support for the project that has given rise to this publication.
- Research: Conducting a search and research process, specifically conducting experiments or data collection/testing.
- Methodology: Development or design of methodology; creation of models.
- Project administration: Management responsibility and coordination of the planning and execution of research activities.
- Resources: Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory specimens, animals, instrumentation, computer resources or other analytical tools.
- Software: Programming, software development; design of computer programs; implementation of computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components.
- Supervision: Supervisory and leadership responsibility for planning and execution of research activity, including mentoring external to the core team.
- Validation: Verification, as part of the activity or separately, of the overall explanation/reproducibility of results/experiments and other research products.
- Visualization: Preparation, creation and/or presentation of published work, specifically visualization/presentation of data.
- Writing - original draft: Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing of the initial draft (including translation of the original draft).
- Writing - reviewing and editing: Preparation, creation and/or presentation of published work by members of the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary or revision, including pre- or post-publication phases.
These categories are used in our articles to indicate the contribution of each contributor. Each author is assigned to one or more of these roles, depending on his or her actual participation in the research project. This ensures that each individual's work is properly recognized and encourages fair and transparent collaboration in the legal community.
We encourage our authors and contributors to be aware of the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (Credit) and to use it to describe their contribution in the articles they submit to our journal. This will help our readers to better understand the authorship of each paper and to recognize the diversity of roles in legal research.
We are committed to maintaining high standards of transparency and recognition in the publication of legal research and hope that this initiative will benefit the academic community and justice in general.For more information about the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (Credit) or how to use it in your contributions, please do not hesitate to contact our editorial team.
