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.
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.
Author accepts sending his/her paper the Editorial Board Policies, Científica should not guarantee manuscript acceptance
or very short peer review. Once a manuscript has received the final approval of the reviewers and Chief Editor,
the terms of the agreement are accepted through a document signed by the authors about
the creative commons license used by Cientifica:
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) ,
which allows sharing, copying and redistributing the material in any medium or format,
in addition to adapting, remixing, transforming and building upon the material.
