Peer Review

Articles published by QuantUNAB are subjected to an evaluation process:

Evaluation of the journal's standards: it begins with the reception of papers. The works sent to QuantUNAB are evaluated in the first instance by the Editorial Team who will review the fulfillment of the Guidelines for the presentation of the works, and the application of a review with an anti-plagiarism software (Turnitin). The maximum percentage of textual similarities is 20% including recycled texts (self-plagiarism). Papers that do not meet some of the requirements of the Guidelines for authors will not be accepted.

Peer review: The accepted papers will be subjected to an evaluation process by anonymous reviewers (peer review). The reviewers will be selected for their expertise and knowledge on the subject to which the work to be evaluated refers. The reviewer is asked 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 competence problems, being recognized as a researcher and academic, responsibility and discretion in the evaluation. The reviewers receive the standards and recommendations on ethics and good behavior that the Editorial Committee expects. Selected reviewers are not paid. The authors of the articles can suggest reviewers when they send the cover letter, the Editorial Team reserves the selection of 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
  • Job for publication with minor changes
  • Rejected job

• Acceptance and work in the press. The work has the status of ACCEPTED when it has passed the review process and the author has made all the corrections and modifications indicated. The accepted work is sent to correction of style and layout.

When the Director of the magazine has all the documentation that will allow him to publish the work, then the work will be considered PRESS ARTICLE. QuantUNAB only provides proof of PRESS ARTICLE.
