Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

1. Previous publication: The article/review has not been previously published, nor has it been submitted simultaneously to another journal or will it be submitted in the future (or an explanation has been provided in comments to the editor, in the submission process). By checking this box you acknowledge that you are aware of the journal ethical.
2. Template: The text file of the article has been dumped in the format template provided by the journal in word (download here). The review has been dumped into the template for reviews (download here). In the template, the authorship data are not filled in. However, it is important to have entered the data of all co-authors in step 3 of this submission (introduction of metadata) so that, once the review process has been passed and before the text is published, this data can be added. By checking this box, you declare that you have followed these instructions.
3. URL Style: The url has been linked when quoting web addresses and these have been shortened with google shortener. The active link to the DOI of the articles cited has been added, if any, with this format (http://dx.doi.org/10xxxxxxxxx). All the bibliographical references are cited in the text and all the citations appear in the correct format in the bibliographical references at the end of the text. An orthographic review has been done and double spaces have been eliminated. All illustrations, graphs, tables or figures appear with correlatively numbered headings within each type and contain the source. All these elements must be editable, if not send them additionally as an additional file. By checking this box you declare that you have followed these instructions.
4. Anonymity: Make sure that the text you send as an attachment remains anonymous (you have already included the authors' personal details in the submission metadata and you do not need to include them again in the attachment. We will include them later in the layout phase, if applicable). Observe these indications (they will be given in the future). By ticking this box you declare that you have followed these instructions. So, check that the text you send as an attachment preserves your anonymity: For Microsoft 2010 (Windows): - From the File menu, select "Prepare to Share". - Click the "Troubleshooting" icon. - Click the "Inspect Document" icon. - Uncheck all boxes except "Document Properties and Personal Information". - Run the Document Inspector, which will search the document properties and indicate if any document property fields contain any information. - If the Document Inspector finds information it will notify you and give you the option to "Delete All", which you will have to click on to delete all the document properties and personal information. By checking this box you are indicating that you have followed these instructions.
5. Summary: The summary of the text is a key element for its optimal dissemination. The terms you include are converted into metadata which allows for search engine localization increasing the chances of citation. It is important that you ensure that the summary clearly contains these elements: objectives, methodology, main results and main conclusions. The abstract must be entirely in one block of text.
6. Distribution strategy: Attached to the submission, as a complementary file, is information for designing the posts and tweets in the dissemination phase of the article in social networks (we ask you now to know the potential of the article in this phase and your possible involvement in the dissemination). The dissemination strategy of the published texts increases the probability of citation of the article: 2 original and novel contributions provided by the text (Specify in a few lines the contributions of your text; 2 questions (about the text, to be used in social and academic networks); 1 image or video related to the subject matter that is free of rights and the profiles on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn of those who sign the work for the subsequent Social Media Plan of the journal. By ticking this box, you declare that this information is attached to the submission.
7. Language metadata: (Step 3 of the submission, select language, click on submit, complete title, abstract and keywords and save -at the end of the page-) Select Spanish again to verify that the data remains in both languages. Although when you select English the headings of the different sections are still in Spanish (this is a system defect), the English translation of the metadata that will appear in the English version of the journal is being saved. Do the same with your personal profile: complete it in Spanish and English with this procedure: My profile, edit, language, select English, click on submit, complete what is missing in English and save. This is essential.
8. Personal profile: I have completed my personal profile in the system, I have completed my personal profile in the system, especially the ORCID, institution, research interests and brief cv or url to the profile in Google academic.
9. Antiplagiarism: A similarity report (percentage of plagiarism of the text) resulting from checking the text of the article in any anti-plagiarism application (TURNITIN, VIPER or PLAGIARISM CHECKER) must be attached. It will be uploaded as a complementary file when submitting the text to the journal (STEP 4. UPLOAD COMPLEMENTARY FILES of the submission process). Similarity reports with a similarity percentage higher than 20% will result in the rejection of the text.
10. External data: If the research has required data from third parties, provide as a complementary file (step 4), the model privacy statement or informed consent that has been used. It is recommended to share the database, if it exists, as a complementary file. It justifies the rigour of the research and helps future research. If these requirements are not provided, upload a document as a supplementary file explaining the reasons. By ticking this box, you declare that you have followed these indications.

Essays:

An essay is a text that freely expresses the thought of an author. The author analyses, interprets or evaluates an issue. It has the following characteristics: thematic freedom; personal style in writing; includes quotations or references; has no defined structure; the author chooses the order in which he develops his argument and is generally aimed at a wide audience. It has a preliminary, introductory or propaedeutic character. The maximum length is 10,000 words.

Its contents are very varied: reflections, comments, personal experiences or critical opinions, theoretical proposals in the absence of verification or proposals that do not stem from the application of the scientific method.

It develops the following contents:

Introduction: the subject to be dealt with and the approach from which it will be dealt with is explained.
Development: includes the author's ideas.
Conclusion: expresses the final contribution of the writer. It's the end of the trial.
Bibliographic references.

In the essay, the organization of ideas and their presentation is especially important in order to proceed from formal explanations to concrete evidence, from facts to conclusions. Two procedures are possible: to begin by showing examples and from them to deduce the general statements (inductive logic) or to begin by showing general statements that are documented throughout the trial by means of concrete examples (deductive logic).

Trials will be subject to the double-blind, anonymous review process.
