About the Journal

For publication approval, manuscript submitted to the journal will be reviewed and evaluated by the Editorial Board, in a desk review, and by external reviewers in a doble-blind peer review. 

 If the authors have chosen to deposit their manuscripts in SciELO Preprints prior to submission to the journal, they understand that author anonymity will be not maintained, although the identity of the external reviewers will remain confidential. Only manuscripts published as preprints in the form of scientific articles are eligible for submission. 

Open-access policy

Since January 1, 2026, the journal requires a fee of MXN $3,500 (Three thousand five hundred Mexican pesos) for each article accepted for publication. This fee remains comparable to, or lower than, those charged by other journals in this field of knowledge. 

Payment of the PCC is required only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication, following receipt of the galley proofs and prior to the electronic publication of the article. The contribution may be made through the payment module available on the journal’s website or at a bank branch using the payment form generated by the same module.
