Peer-review process
Texts in Process (TEP) follows the following evaluation process:
1. The editors receive the manuscript, evaluate its adaptation to the editorial guidelines and decide in the first instance its acceptance.
2. If accepted, the work is sent to the Academic Committee and to external reviewers, who send a report to the editors. The identity of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous in this instance.
3. From the reports received, the editors make the final decision regarding the publication of the manuscript. This can be: a) accept it; b) accept it with changes; c) request changes and reassess the possibility of publication; d) reject it. The decision is informed to all those involved in the process.
Since the review process is by anonymous peers, the identity of the authors as evaluators is hidden from those involved. As a general rule, the manuscript should not have any data it can do. Specifically, the authors have to be written in their manuscripts. For the preparation of the manuscript, it must be ensured that the following norms are met:
1. The third person is used to refer to the works of the author or authors.
2. In the case of self-citations or bibliographic self-references, they are replaced by the following legend, highlighted in yellow [OMITTED].
3. No acknowledgments are included.
4. References to research projects and / or funding sources are not included.
Once the text has been accepted for publication, send (upload to the system) the final version with all the necessary information correctly included.
In cases, in which the evaluators consider "Not publishable", the manuscript sent, the Editorial Board will communicate the decision to the author of the correspondence, motivating the editorial decision.
The reviewers follow the review model that is detailed below to prepare their reports.
