The works must be original and have not been previously published in any other medium of communication.
The Editorial Committee will decide whether to publish it or not within a period not exceeding six months. In order to ensure its quality, the Scientific Committee will carry out an initial selection process and then the proposal will have to pass a double blind peer evaluation process.
If both reports are positive, the publication will be accepted, although changes may be suggested. In the case of disagreements, a third evaluation may be requested.
Once the evaluation process has been completed, the Series Editors will communicate by e-mail to the author, in the light of the aforementioned evaluations, the decision whether or not to accept the manuscript and, if accepted, any proposed corrections.
Should the work require corrections, these would be forwarded by e-mail to the Editorial Service Directors within a period of no more than 30 days from the date of receipt of notification of corrections. The author(s) will resend the revised manuscript, with the corrections clearly made and indicated.
