Peer review process

Every article nominated for publication must be original and unpublished and must not be simultaneously nominated in other journals or editorial bodies. In response to this requirement, all authors must sign the Originality Commitment Letter . The works presented can be written in Spanish or English. The final selection will be made by the editors and the Editorial Committee of Interdisciplinary.

The editorial process, from sending the work to its acceptance for publication, is carried out through the OJS (Open Journal System) editorial manager. Authors must upload their works to the magazine's website and from there they will be able to follow each stage of the editorial process.

Each article is refereed by two national and/or international referees , whether or not they are members of the Editorial Committee. For the selection of the referents, the corresponding research area and institutional affiliation will be taken into account to guarantee the suitability and impartiality of the verdict.

The evaluation system is double blind. The works presented must comply with the guidelines established in the General Rules for the Presentation of Works and may be: (a) accepted, (b) conditionally accepted or (c) rejected. In the event of a split opinion (that is, one of the experts rejects the work and the other accepts it), a third reviewer will be selected to resolve disagreements.

The review process will last approximately 4 to 6 (four to six) months (although it could be extended in extraordinary cases). Based on the reports from the referents, the editors will inform the author, by email, of the decision adopted, which will be final.

Minor and/or formal modifications may be requested on an article that is accepted (to comply with the guidelines indicated in the Rules for Authors), which the author must make within a maximum of 30 days.

If the article is conditionally accepted, the reviewers' comments will be sent to the authors, who will have a maximum period of 30 days to make the corresponding adjustments (if the 30-day period is insufficient, an extension of time may be requested. 30 additional days proving the reasons that make it impossible to resolve the comments within the stipulated period). Once the corrections have been made, the authors must send a new version of the document and an anonymous letter in which they respond to each of the suggestions/observations issued by the evaluators and relate each of them to the changes made to the work. The new version will be sent to the original reviewers to determine whether the work will be approved or rejected, a decision that will be communicated to all authors in a timely manner.

Once the article is accepted and its final version received, the editorial process of the Interdisciplinary journal will begin, which includes a review of its adaptation to the journal's standards, editing and style correction tasks, design and, finally , the publication. During this process, preliminary versions of the work will be sent to the author so that he can review the modifications that are made to the text until reaching the final version.
