READING OF ARTICLES: All articles received for publication
at the Revista’s Office will be subject to an initial judgment of
its Director with the purpose of both verifying if the contents of the
articles match the scientific disciplines the Revista publishes and giving
a preliminary opinion about the status of original research and about
its quality.
The Director of the Revista is authorized to decline the publication of
an article with no explanation when it does not match the scientific area
the Revista publishes or if its background quality is apparent or evidently
inferior.
If the Director of the Revista initially considers the article publishable,
s/he will inform the Editing Board, who will do a new in-depth reading.
In case reception of the article is confirmed, the Board will submit it
to two specialists for its analysis. These two experts may be members
of the International Scientific Council or other specialists, according
to the needs and availability.
With the above documentation, the Editing Board will ultimately decide
upon the publication or will decline the publication of the manuscript.
When the reports suggest minor modifications, the author will be asked
to make them. Reception and notice of the final decision should not take
over a month.
Once the article has been approved for publication, the article will be
subject to an editing process, whose stages are:
a) adaptation of the manuscript’s format to the “Guidelines
for Writing” of the Revista (see below) under the supervision of
its Director.
b)the manuscript’s technical composition in its publishing house.
c)introduction of the manuscript into the table of contexts (see below).
