Arbitration System

EXTERNAL ANONYMOUS PEER REVIEW

Articles submitted for publication are peer-reviewed following the double-blind peer review system, guaranteeing the anonymity of authors and reviewers.

The review process also requires reviewers to be EXTERNAL to the academic field to which the author belongs in order to guarantee the highest degree of independence of the reviewers.

The confidentiality of the evaluation process and the anonymity of reviewers and authors, the evaluated content, the reasoned report issued in the evaluation and any other communication issued by the journal to both authors and reviewers is guaranteed at all times. Likewise, confidentiality will be maintained in the event of any complaints, claims or clarifications that may be made to the editorial team or to the people in charge of the evaluation.

The reviews are based exclusively on scientific relevance, with preference given to the interest and relevance of the work presented in relation to the proposed subject, its contribution to the knowledge of the subject dealt with in the manuscript, the novelties provided, the correct relationships established, the critical judgement developed, the bibliographical references used and the correct writing.

Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the journal editor will communicate the reasoned result of the evaluation to the authors by e-mail and/or via the OJS platform. This report will include the overall result of the review (publication without changes; publication with minor corrections; publication with major corrections; not advisable for publication), as well as the reviewers' observations and comments.
