Peer Review Process
Articles are accepted in Spanish or English, their submission is requested exclusively
through the
Open Journal Systems
platform, each article received, once it has
complied with the editorial formatting standards, is reviewed with the
Turnitin© anti-plagiarism software.
To avoid plagiarism, it is expected that authors and other
journals take this part of the process seriously. It is expected
that within the original content and considering the textual quotes,
the percentage of similarity is less than 20%; In major cases,
it will be returned for its pertinent adaptation.
In the next stage, the Scientific Committee chooses two reviewers
(blind peer review) experts in the corresponding areas,
who will not know the authorship data, while the authors
will not know the identities of the reviewers. Original
manuscripts that are not in progress in another publication
are strictly accepted.
The authors are recommended to review the guide document
for the opinion used by the reviewers, it is presented
as a form within the Open Journal System platform
(you could read it [RevForm.pdf] in
this folder in gdrive).
When submitting their articles, the authors accept the policies and decisions
of our Editorial Committee. Cientifica does not approve publication
without ruling, which will take the necessary time to guarantee
the quality and validity of the works. The article can be accepted,
rejected or publishable with modifications. Upon approval,
the authors are provided with a rights agreement for the editing,
publication and distribution of the writings, which are transferred
to Cientifica. Neither the processing of the articles nor their
editing generate any cost for their authors.
