Submissions to the Articles, Perspectives, Research, and Dossier sections that pass the preliminary editorial assessment undergo double-blind peer review. Throughout this process, authors’ and reviewers’ identities are kept confidential from each other.

Contributions to the Editorial, Reviews, and Letters sections do not undergo peer review. Their publication is subject to the editorial team’s decision.

Reviews are conducted by external specialists selected on the basis of their academic background and expertise in the subject area of the article. Evaluation criteria include originality, quality of argumentation, methodological coherence, and thematic relevance, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Editorial Committee.

The evaluation process consists of the following stages:

1. Preliminary review by the Editorial Committee to verify compliance with the journal’s editorial guidelines, thematic relevance, originality, and absence of plagiarism using iThenticate software.
2. Assignment of external reviewers, who submit their reports anonymously.
3. Possible editorial recommendations are: acceptance without revisions, acceptance subject to revisions, or justified rejection.
4. If revisions are required, the author must submit a revised version of the manuscript, which may be sent for further evaluation.
