Editorial Process
The editorial process of our journal is designed to ensure the quality and rigor of each manuscript received. Below, we present the key phases of the process, from the reception of submissions to their publication and dissemination. At each stage, the manuscript undergoes a series of evaluations and reviews to guarantee compliance with the highest academic standards.
Throughout this process, it is essential for us to maintain open and transparent communication with authors. At any stage in which a manuscript is rejected, the author will be notified through the OJS platform. This notification will provide clear details and explanations regarding the reasons for rejection, in order to offer constructive feedback and improve the experience of our contributors.
The following describes each phase of the editorial process:
EDITORIAL PROCESS OF GÉNEROOS
1. Submission of contributions:
The author(s) submit their manuscript through the journal’s online platform, and the system automatically confirms its receipt.
2. Preliminary review:
The editorial team verifies that the manuscript complies with the journal’s guidelines. If appropriate, it advances; if not, it is rejected.
3. Editorial evaluation:
The editorial committee evaluates the manuscript according to quality standards and relevance for the journal. If it meets the criteria, it advances to the next step; if not, it is rejected.
4. Peer review:
The manuscript is sent to specialists under the “double-blind” system to assess its scientific and academic quality, ensuring mutual anonymity between authors and reviewers. Reviewers evaluate the scientific and academic quality of the text, suggesting possible modifications and improvements.
5. Verification of corrections:
Reviewers check the changes made by the author after peer review. If the adjustments are satisfactory, the manuscript is accepted; if not, it is rejected.
6. Copyediting:
Orthotypographic, grammatical, and stylistic corrections are made to ensure the text is clear, coherent, and well written.
7. XML tagging:
The manuscript is converted into XML format for indexing in academic databases and specialized search engines.
8. Layout and 9. Metadata:
These tasks are carried out in parallel to optimize the editorial workflow. On one hand, the manuscript is adapted to the journal’s established format, organizing titles, tables, images, and other elements to guarantee a professional and clear presentation. Simultaneously, the necessary metadata are assigned, providing structured information that facilitates identification, retrieval, and cataloging of the document in digital platforms.
10. DOI and Publication:
Each approved manuscript receives a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), a unique code that guarantees its identification and persistence in digital platforms, and is subsequently published in a semiannual volume of the journal, available in digital format during the months of March and September, accessible to both the academic community and the general public.
11. Dissemination:
The article is disseminated through social networks and other channels to increase its visibility.
