Peer review process
The articles selected to continue with the process will be submitted to evaluation by peer reviewers, experts in the respective topics, who will act in the "double-blind" system, that is, without the authors being aware of the identity of the evaluators, nor of the authors of the authors they are evaluating. Peer review is established to be conducted within 15 days, in any case, it may not take more than two (2) months, and once it has been conducted, the Editor will inform the authors of its result with the arguments that support it. The results can be:
-
Article accepted for publication without modification.
-
Article accepted for publication with minor modifications that may come from the Editor, the Editorial Committee or peer reviewers.
-
Article accepted for publication with major modifications that may come from the Editor or peer reviewers and require adjustments by the authors within a period of no more than fifteen (15) calendar days and will require a new evaluation once the adjustments have been made.
-
Article not accepted for publication.
Articles accepted for publication will be submitted to the corresponding processes of style correction and design and layout conducted by the Centre for Design and Institutional Image of the Universidad Santo Tomás. Unpublished papers will be archived as rejected papers.
Once published, authors will receive via email a PDF of their published article, as well as a certification for registration, information, and dissemination purposes.
