Plagiarism Detection

In order to ensure the originality of the articles and the respect for copyrights, the Praxis journal submits all articles received and accepted for a review of originality, for which it is used the software Turnitin.

Peer Review Process

The reception of an article does not imply the obligation for its acceptance, nor commitment regarding the publication. The editorial team, to verify compliance with the specific rules of the articles, as well as the suitability and quality of the same, will review all papers received with the intention of being published in the journal initially. If the article does not comply with the editorial policies of the journal, it will be returned to the author to make the corresponding adjustments.

Articles that comply with all the guidelines set out in the instructions for authors will be sent to international peer reviewers of recognized experience, who will advance the double-blind evaluation process. The evaluators will have a maximum time of two weeks to issue a concept on the article and may make recommendations or request clarifications. According to the results of the peer evaluation, the Editorial Committee will decide whether or not to accept the articles for publication. The journal will send the concepts of evaluation in a period of four to eight months, depending on the number of manuscripts received.

The Editorial Committee will review the evaluations and recommendations of the evaluators and decide whether the article is "Accepted without modifications," "Accepted with modifications" or "Rejected." In any of the above cases, the author will be informed of the results of the review process. The author, according to the comments received, will make the arrangements in his article and send it again for later approval.

In case a positive and a negative evaluation are presented, the article will be sent to a third pair, to define the status of the same.

Accepted articles will go through a process of style correction and layout by the editing team, whose process may be subject to adjustments by the author. When you have the galley proof of the journal, the article will be sent to the authors for review and approval; this step is before printing the corresponding number.
