The evaluators will perform their work under the criteria of confidentiality and impartiality.

2.- That the article is rejected for not being of interest to the journal or for presenting a format that is not established by the journal.

Once the article has been evaluated and submitted to the editorial committee, the authors will be notified:

In cases where the article is already accepted by the editorial committee, the authors must sign a declaration of originality and authorization of the rights of publication and reproduction of the same and the inclusion in databases, web pages, or electronic pages, national or international (Review: Declaration of Originality and Declaration of Conflict of Interest forms). All the content of the articles, including texts, tables, figures, and information in general, is included in the material to be published under the exclusive responsibility of the authors.

The editorial committee will evaluate whether the observations made have been complied with and, if it considers it pertinent, will send it again to the peer reviewer. The publication decision will be subject to the agreement of the peer reviewer and the editorial committee, taking into account the observations previously made. In the case of disagreement with the peer reviewers' evaluations, the authors should send a letter of explanation justifying their position on the observations. The journal reserves the right to edit the texts, without changing the meaning of the article.
