Summary of the external peer review process
Papers will only be published when they receive favorable opinions from two referees external to the Editorial Team of the journal; if a manuscript receives divergent opinions, it will be sent to a third referee. The type of arbitration is double blind, i.e., there is anonymity of both parties (author and referees). Finally, the Editorial Board will approve or reject the publication of the manuscript and will communicate the decision to the author. The author will receive a communication from the Editorial Committee indicating the final decision.
