• Standards for articles to be accepted
• Process to evaluate and aprove articles

• Maximum length of 7000 words and a minimum of 2,000 words)

• An abstract of the article (around 150 words)

Once the article is received, it is immediately sent by the editors to a member of the International Board in order to be evaluated. If the evaluator considers there should be modifications, the author is notified. Then, it is settled a due date to forward the modified article for its publication. 

The evaluation and approval follows the "double blind" review process to preserve the anonymity of the evaluator and the author. This also avoids possible conflicts of interest in the publication.  The initials of the person that has handled the article appears at the bottom of every article, as well as the dates of reception and final approval.

The evaluation deals with aspects such as the relevance of the topic, the general structure of the article, relevance and rigor of the theoretical-methodological design, and the clarity and contribution of the results and conclusions.
