Proceso y flujo editorial

EDITORIAL FLOW DESCRIPTION

1- All manuscripts are received and managed using the Open Journal System (OJS) software, in which the author must first register.

2- After the manuscript is submitted by the author, it is reviewed and validated by the Editor of the scientific journal, who verifies the subject matter and format required by the publisher. It is then sent to the Editorial Committee (Technical Support), who will review the plagiarism rate using text similarity software. If the manuscript presents a plagiarism rate greater than the institutional policy limit or if double publication is detected, the editor will be notified, and the editor will be notified to the author.

Assignment of a Review Editor: If it is decided that the article should continue the process, the Editor-in-Chief may assign an Associate Editor with expertise in the article's field to oversee the peer review process.

When assigning the editor in charge of the article, the editor-in-chief takes into account that there is no conflict of interest according to the COPE definition.

3- Once the plagiarism review process is complete, the Editor will send the manuscript to the reviewers (blind peers) who are part of the Scientific Committee of the Scientific Journal, who will evaluate and render a judgment, i.e., accept, suggest minor or major changes, or reject. The review must be critical, objective, and thorough, and analyze the manuscript's quality. The report will be sent to the editor, who will then send it to the authors accordingly.

4- Once the author receives the results, they must adjust and incorporate the reviewers' instructions within a timeframe established by the Publisher. They must then return the adjusted manuscript and obtain authorization for its publication.

5- The editor sends the manuscript to the Editorial Committee (Technical Support) for editing, proofreading, style correction, layout, and publication of the scientific article.

6- The Revista Científica en Ciencias Sociales adopts a policy of limiting the number of publications per author and/or co-author to one (1) per year, in order to promote diversity of approaches, ensure equity in access to publication, foster the quality of the submitted works, and optimize editorial management. This measure also contributes to preventing excessive fragmentation of results and self-plagiarism, thus ensuring more rigorous and representative scientific production.
