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. Authors receive the reports through the platform and are given a deadline for comments 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
