Peer Review Process

Evaluation of Articles

Articles (essays and research results) received by the Revista GESTIÓN DE LAS PERSONAS Y TECNOLOGÍA, following the checklist application by the Editorial Assistant, will be evaluated by internal and external peer reviewers to the University, who will issue a report regarding the publication or non-publication of the article. Peer reviewers may suggest changes and/or modifications to the articles. If the authors accept and make the suggested changes, the work will proceed to publication. Each article published in the journal will indicate the date of receipt and approval.

Criteria for Article Evaluation

Decisions regarding the publication of received articles will be based, preferably, on the following evaluation criteria:

• Relevance to the journal's goals and purposes in the fields of People and Technology.
• Scientific quality and/or academic perspective, preferably of the “Research Results” type.
• Originality.
• Clarity in argumentation and presentation of postulates, approaches, viewpoints, etc.
• Compliance with presentation conditions as defined in the author instructions.
