As part of the submission process, authors are required to check that their submission meets all of the elements shown below. Submissions that do not meet these guidelines will be returned to the authors.

• The file complies with the instructions described in Ensuring anonymous review, in case the submission is directed to a peer-reviewed section.
• The submitted file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect format.

• The text complies with the bibliographic and style requirements indicated in the Guidelines for Authors.
• URL's have been provided in the references, for those who have them available.
• The authors assume full responsibility for the bibliographic citations used, as well as for the ethical aspects related to the subjects of the study.

PEER REVIEW PROCESS

We perform blind peer review. The submitted papers are submitted to the opinion of two specialists in the field. The reviewers advise on the scientific nature of the proposals, as well as being a novel contribution.

After their opinion, the Editorial Board decides whether or not to proceed with publication, and informs the authors of the editorial decisions taken.

Authors must prove that their submissions meet all the requirements.

Those that do not comply with these guidelines will be returned.

It is recommended to provide complete data (affiliation, e-mail) of two possible reviewers for the evaluation of the article. The proposal should be justified by the fact that they are specialists in the field of work addressed by the article. The reviewers should not belong to the same institution as the author, nor should they have any conflict of interest. The editorial staff of the journal reserves the right to propose these or other reviewers for the evaluation of the article, in case it passes to the review phase.
