MANAGEMENT AND ASSESSMENT

The management of the articles means:

• Open editorial: two thirds of the editorial board is unrelated to the editorial entity.

• Open authors: at least 50% of the articles published come from authors external to the editorial entity.

• Selection of originals: To maintain the author's anonymity, the double blind system of assessment includes sending the original work and an evaluation form to two reviewers on the editorial board without the author´s name. As the reviewers are blind to the author´s name, the reviewers' comments are also presented to the author blindly or without name. 

• The author will be informed within 180 days if his/her article has been accepted, rejected, or accepted with modifications.

AUTHOR'S RIGTHS

Authorization by the author is required for any person wishing to totally or partially reproduce any of the articles published, whether in the original or translated version.

• Responsibility: The opinions, language and content of the articles published in the Journal are exclusively the responsibility of the authors; the authors are responsible for obtaining the corresponding permission to include material from any other publication.

• Intellectual property: The subject generator of the rights of Intellectual Property is the author, utilizing their intellectual activity to transform thoughts, possibilities, perceptions and ideas into specific work, acquiring by this creative act the ownership of the set of moral and patrimonial rights established by the laws that regulate Intellectual Property (Royal Legislative Decree 1/96, 12 April, Consolidated Text from the Law of Intellectual Property).
