1.2 Receipt of manuscript

Once the manuscripts are received, the Editorial Committee of the Revista Postulados verifies that they comply with the editorial policy established in the guidelines for authors and communicates the result to the authors, issuing any of the following opinions: Rejected, Accepted subject to modifications and Accepted to begin evaluation by academic peers. Rejection in this phase of review can be generated by any of the following reasons: a) The work is not original and unpublished (use of the TURNITIN tool), b) The work is not related to the areas covered by the journal, c) Failure to comply with the editorial policy of the journal.

1.3 Peer review

For papers submitted to the journal and that pass the first phase of review, the Editorial Committee assigns a minimum of two national and international peer reviewers, under the "double-blind arbitration system" (the identities of authors and peers are not disclosed), who will be responsible for ensuring the relevance, quality and level of contribution of the manuscripts to the field of knowledge. As a result of this exercise, the reviewers issue an opinion with their opinion and recommendations for the improvement of the manuscript.

Decision Editorial Committee

The Editor and Editorial Committee, once it receives the results of the evaluations issued by the juries, will define and communicate to the authors any of the following responses:

• Accepted: the work will be published as received and only spelling and style adjustments will be made.
• Accepted with minor changes: the work will be published when the authors comply with and/or support the adjustments suggested by the reviewers; these will be reviewed by the Editorial Committee and/or the peer reviewer (if he/she deems it necessary), who will decide whether they are accepted or not.
• Accepted with major changes: the paper must be corrected both in content and form according to the suggestions given by the peer reviewers. The new version of the paper will have, once again, the corresponding evaluation by the peers who will determine if the authors followed the respective suggestions.
• Rejected: The paper is not recommended for publication.

Note: Due to the evaluation processes of the Postulados Journal, it is not possible to assure the authors of the unpublished publication of their work.
