Process of peer review
The journal has the collaboration of evaluators, mainly external and outside both the editorial team and the Universidad de Palermo. The received article proposals are sent to be evaluated anonymously by two experts in the thematic field. The result of the evaluation can be: publishable-accepted; request modifications or not publishable-rejected.
The authors will be notified of the decision to accept or reject the manuscript. Likewise, they may be returned to introduce the modifications recommended by the evaluator(s) within the agreed deadlines. In the case of requesting modifications, the result of the second review is restricted to two possibilities: publishable-accepted, or not publishable-rejected.
