The Editorial Committee reads the original version to ensure compliance to the ethical standards and the absence of plagiarism, as well as the quality of the content.

When the article passes the first instance, the editorial team chooses experts outside the institution with national or international affiliations, specialized on the topics elaborated on each study. The arbitration is double-blinded, that is the study is anonymously sent to two external evaluators specialized in the area for them to evaluate it and resend it to the editorial management. The external evaluators will have a certain period of time (30 days) established by the Editorial Committee to evaluate the article. The expert opinion should evaluate relevance, originality, and academic quality as requested by the journal committee.
