Peer-Review and Evaluation Process
The articles submitted will follow the editorial process that is detailed below:
Acknowledgment of receipt and preliminary review: The articles received will be reviewed by the members of the Editorial Committee, who carry out an initial reading and determine the quality and relevance of the evaluation. This process includes a verification of the formal aspects of the document according to its typology (original, review, reflection, case studies). In the event that the manuscript needs initial corrections, these should be sent to Revista ARETÉ within a period of less than 15 days, to speed up the editorial process. It is worth noting that admitting an articles does not imply an obligation to publish it.
Review method: Once it is decided that the manuscript meets the thematic requirements and editorial standards indicated in the "guidelines for authors", the basic document is sent to two peer reviewers external to Revista ARETÉ, selected by the Editorial Committee to judge the convenience of its publication and suggest appropriate modifications. For this purpose we have a peer review form.
The review method used is double blind (anonymity of the author and reviewers), with a member of the editorial team in charge of establishing contact between the two.
Results of the review: The result of the evaluation process may be: (a) Approval of the article; (b) Acceptance with minor modifications; (c) Acceptance with major modifications. (d) Not publishable. Any of these judgments will be sent to the author through the OJS platform.
When an article is classified as “publishable with modifications”, the judgment or judgments that support it will be sent to the author to make the relevant adjustments. Proposals, within a period not longer than 20 days.
If the article is classified as “Not publishable”, the comments supporting this decision will be made known to the author(s) and we expected that they will benefit from the comments of the peer reviewers. The journal may receive rewritten articles, but the journal expects them to be restructured according to the previous comments and for a future call for papers, since the purpose of the review process in Revista Areté, in addition to validating the advances in knowledge in the specific subjects, is to offer an opportunity to authors to improve their proposals towards the construction of more solid articles.
Verification of adjustments: When the authors submit their document adjusted according to suggestions from external evaluators, the editor in charge will verify that all the necessary adjustments have been done. Revista ARETÉ reserves the right to make changes or introduce modifications in the document, to allow a better understanding of it, without this resulting in a change in its content.
Notes of Interest: The Editor and the Editorial Committee of Revista Areté are in charge of deciding the publication of the articles. We clarify that the sending the documents and other supports does not create an obligation to publish them.
The non-correspondence with the editorial or subject line of the journal, errors in format, presentation, important syntactics and spelling errors, non-compliance with the journal's policies or the code of ethics and best practice, may be grounds for rejection of the manuscript prior to review by academic peers.
