PUBLISHING PROCEDURE

1.1. The texts submitted for publication must be original and unpublished and should be sent by e-mail to the following address: strategica.raihm@gmail.com

1.2. All texts received will undergo two evaluations:

1.2.1. Internal evaluation: to be conducted by the Editorial Board of the journal to assess whether the original meets the standards for submission of originals and is in line with the journal’s objectives. In this first evaluation, the original may be accepted or rejected, or the authors may be asked to make amendments to it.

1.2.2. External evaluation: after passing this first phase, the original will be sent to two experts on the subject (not related to management, the administrative office or the editorial board of the journal), who will carry out a second evaluation of the content and form of the text. Both the evaluators and the author shall remain anonymous. External evaluators can accept the text, reject it or propose modifications. In the event of differences in criteria among experts, the Editorial Board will request a third evaluation or make a decision directly, as appropriate.

The Editorial Board, taking into account the external evaluations, may accept the text without objections, accept it if the changes suggested to the author are introduced, or reject it. After being notified of the decision, if the case may be, the author shall have a reasonable amount of time to implement the changes or defend his/her decisions. If deemed necessary, the modified text may be subject to a further evaluation.
