Description of the peer review process
All submissions go through an internal peer review process. Each submission is being verified with an Anti-Plagiarism Software, and after papers are accepted for further reviewing only the ones that do not exceed 20% in Similitude Coefficient number 1 and 10% in Similitude Coefficient number 2 of information taken from other sources.
The editors makes an initial decision to send the manuscript out for peer review or to reject without external review. Articles can be rejected at this stage for a variety of reasons such as: 20% and 10% of information taken from other sources, similarity with a recently published article, the topic is outside of the scope of the Journal, little new information is provided, important flaws in the scientific validity, or an unprofessional presentation. This process normally takes 5 days. If the editor believes the article may be of interest to our readers, it is then sent out for external review.
External Review – double-blind peer review process
After this preliminary evaluation, the editorial secretary depersonalizes the paper submissions and sends them to be reviewed by the scientific reviewers chosen by the Journal.
