Revista Jurídica Digital UANDES establishes strict criteria to avoid conflicts of interest during the article review process.
It is established that authors must submit a wholly anonymized version of the manuscript which does not allow the identification of authors, institutions, individuals, or funding sources.
It is also established that peer reviewers must be people with research experience and scientific publications.
The Revista Jurídica Digital UANDES peer review process is double-blind, which upholds objectivity throughout the process, since neither authors nor reviewers will know one others’ identities.
Revista Jurídica Digital UANDES ensures that the anonymized communication between authors and reviewers meets the appropriate academic criteria in relation to comments and evaluations of manuscripts. The criteria for establishing the results of the evaluation of a manuscript will be established in the peer review process section.
Revista Jurídica Digital UANDES ensures that there are no conflicts of interest in the peer review process, and to this effect it has established the following criteria:
- The selected peer reviewers with expertise in the subject matter of the article must have prior publications of scientific nature on the selected subject.
- For the effects of initiating the review process, its double-blind nature shall be verified, to ensure that the authors and the reviewers do not know each other’s identities, to assure objectivity in handling the paper.
- Based on the reviewers’ opinions, a consensus will be reached with the editor to jointly determine whether the article is accepted without changes or accepted with changes (minor or substantial) to be made by the authors or turned down. The authors will receive said decision from the editor.
Authors should also have all required permissions to disclose any information that involves naming or mentioning other entities or persons and should clearly state any appropriate previous results used for the research, including informed consents and mentions or acknowledgements of sources of financing and persons who assisted in the research.
