Editorial process

1. The editorial process from the reception to the arbitration verdict to the author or authors by the journal will take a maximum of 10 weeks, as long as there are no external conditions that may affect the indicated periodicity, for which the author or authors will be informed in due time about the novelty.
2. Contributors will upload the article to the Journal's OJS. At the beginning of the article, the names and surnames of the contributor or contributors, their (electronic) address, institution of affiliation or community and their respective ORCID must be specified. All contributors must be registered at https://orcid.org/
3. The periodicity of the journal is quarterly for ordinary issues.
4. Special issues may be published with the prior approval of the editorial committee, where topics of scientific interest are addressed.

5. All manuscripts will be reviewed anonymously. Authors should suggest three possible reviewers they consider suitable to evaluate their work (the Revista Multidisciplinaria Perspectivas Investigativas (RMPI) is not obliged to send them for arbitration), clearly indicating their name and e-mail address. Likewise, authors may indicate any person who, for different reasons, they do not wish to see involved in the review process of their work.
6. Proposals submitted for review in the journal must be: a) unpublished, b) works that have been published in whole or in part will not be accepted, nor those that are in the process of publication or have been proposed to other journals for editorial evaluation, c) the authors, by submitting the manuscript, assume and accept that there is no conflict of interest between the parties, as well as with third persons or institutions, declaring the authenticity of the proposal, being them the only ones responsible for the content, being at the discretion of the Revista Multidisciplinaria Perspectivas Investigativas (RMPI), the exclusive diffusion and socialization of the knowledge, once it has been evaluated by the experts in the arbitration process, d) the articles must fully comply with the present editorial standards, in order to be admitted to the peer review process, e) once the article is approved by the referees, a grammatical revision will be carried out, f) once all the above criteria have been met, it will be published in the immediately available issue.
7. The Revista Multidisciplinaria Perspectivas Investigativas (RMPI), following the guidelines of the COPE on Ethics and Good Practices, defends the non-academic endogamy and that is why the texts approved for each issue are at least 70% external, coming from teachers and researchers outside the publishing entity.
8. With the approval of the editorial committee, ordinary issues may be published before the beginning of the declared period. Approved articles will be published in the next available issue.

9. The controversies that could be generated on the published knowledge will be the responsibility of the author or authors of the article, who may be contacted via e-mail, and who may issue judgment or discussion on the topic addressed, as long as this is done in an academic and scientific climate, thus developing a process of feedback that builds science and knowledge.
10. The final decision on the evaluation process, publication or not of the articles lies exclusively with the Director - Editor and the Editorial Committee, and will be made based on the suggestions/observations/recommendations issued by the evaluators. All articles are subjected to an editorial evaluation process, even when they have been reviewed by experts; and if necessary, the authors will receive the appropriate recommendations to improve the quality of the articles to be published.
11. The evaluators will have a period of 30 continuous days, from the reception of the article, to send to the Director - Editor, the evaluation report of the same. The Director - Editor will send this report to the author within a maximum period of 5 continuous days.
12. The work of the evaluators is strictly confidential. The journal is not responsible for the performance of the evaluators, who are completely autonomous.
13. For the arbitration of articles, double-blind peer review will be used, where the reviewers do not know the identity of the authors of the articles, and the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

14. Originality, relevance, style and contributions in the field will be evaluated.
15. Articles are refereed and classified in the following categories: Approved, Approved with modifications and not Approved.
16. Peer reviewers belong to institutions external to the journal.
17. Peer reviewers will belong to different institutions and countries with the intention of maintaining anonymity among the jury, as well as minimizing the possibility of bias in the arbitration decision.
18. Anonymity will be maintained between peer reviewers and authors.
19. Any matter not covered by the editorial guidelines will be at the discretion of the journal's Editorial and Scientific Committee.

20. It is recommended to review the peer review process with the intention of complementing the provisions of this section.
