EDITORIAL POLICIES

Review Policy

Articles submitted for review for publication should be addressed and sent to the Revista de Investigación Transdisciplinaria en Educación, Empresa y Sociedad - ITEES, in digital media, MS Word version, to OJS or to the e-mail revistagisst@eidec.com.co. The articles submitted must be original and must not be in the process of evaluation in another scientific publication at the same time they are submitted, for which reason it is essential that the authors sign a letter of presentation and partial use license, provided by the journal, where they certify the above.

All papers submitted to the journal undergo "single-blind" review (the authors will not know the reviewers, but the reviewers will know the authors) by "ad honorem" experts.

The following is a list of the arbitration stages that every document goes through:

• Editorial team review: the criteria of substance and form of presentation are reviewed according to the standards of the journal.
• Evaluation by academic peers: the manuscript is sent to two academic peers, experts in the field, who will elaborate a scientific and formal concept of the manuscript within a month. Based on these concepts, the editor will issue an editorial decision in which the author is formally informed of the results of publication of the article, which are: accepted, rejected, or accepted with conditions.
• Proofreading: when an article is accepted, the author must send the final version of the manuscript within a maximum of two months. At this stage, it is verified that the author has made the modifications suggested by the reviewers, if applicable.
• Layout: once the final version of the document is ready, the text is formatted and the necessary files are generated for the printed and digital publication of the journal issue.

In the event that the peers do not agree in their opinion, the manuscript will be sent to a third peer, so that the differences can be settled by means of a majority vote. If a unified solution is not reached in this way, the Editorial Committee will decide on the final publication of the manuscript in question.
