Editorial Process and Review

Initial Editorial Review

  • All manuscripts undergo a preliminary evaluation to verify that they comply with editorial standards.
  • The structure, compliance with citation standards (APA format, latest edition), and the originality of the content are reviewed.
  • The declaration of authorship and originality are verified before going to peer review.

Peer Review

  • A double-blind peer review system is used, where the reviewers do not know the identity of the authors and vice versa.
  • The evaluators issue reports with observations, recommendations, and a decision (accepted, rejected, or requires modifications).
  • In case of adjustments, the authors have a certain period of time to send the corrected version.

Editing and Layout

  • Once the manuscript has been approved, it is proofread, edited and laid out.
  • Constant communication is maintained with the authors to validate the final version before publication.

Publication and Distribution

  • Approved books are published in digital and printed format, according to the agreement with the authors.
  • Indexing in academic catalogues, repositories and scientific platforms is guaranteed.
  • Distribution is carried out through bookstores, digital libraries and specialized websites.
