Scientific evaluation policy

Articles published by GENTRYANA magazine are subjected to an evaluation process that includes:

1. Evaluation of the journal's standards: it begins with the reception of papers. The works sent to the GENTRYANA journal are evaluated in the first instance by the Editorial Team who will review compliance with the Guidelines for the presentation of the works, the application of a review with an anti-plagiarism software (Turnitin). Papers that do not meet any requirement of the Guidelines for Authors will not be accepted. This process takes about 1-3 weeks.

2. Peer review: Admitted papers will be submitted to an evaluation process by anonymous reviewers (peer review). This process has a very variable duration, usually between 1 and 4 months. The reviewers will be selected for their expertise and knowledge on the subject to which the work to be evaluated refers. The reviewer is requested to evaluate the work according to international quality standards and criteria for publication.

The reviewers will have the following characteristics: knowledge of the subject, not having competition problems, being recognized as a researcher and academic, responsibility and discretion in the evaluation.

Reviewers receive the rules and recommendations on ethics and good behavior that the Editorial Committee expects. Selected reviewers do not receive remuneration. The authors of the articles can suggest reviewers when they send the cover letter, the Editorial Team reserves the selection of the reviewers. The type of review is simple, that is, the reviewer remains anonymous.

Evaluation: The referees or reviewers issue suggestions and recommendations on how to improve the article. The evaluation of the referees qualifies the work as:

- Work for publication without changes.
- Work for publication with minor changes.
- Work for publication with major changes.
- Work rejected.
- Work with suggestion for another magazine.

3. Acceptance and work in progress. The paper has the status of ACCEPTED when it has passed the peer review process and the author has made all the corrections and modifications indicated. The accepted paper is sent for proofreading and layout. The delay from the presentation to this stage (press work) is usually between four and six months.

4. Conformity and permission for final publication. The diagrammed version will be sent to the author to be reviewed and returned with a letter of agreement and permission for publication. When the director of the journal has all the documentation that will allow him to publish the work, then the work will be considered a PRESS ARTICLE. GENTRYANA magazine only provides proof of PRESS ARTICLE.
