5.- To submit a manuscript for editorial review, it is mandatory to register in the management platform of the magazine (https://revistas.uautonoma.cl/index.php/ejep/about/submissions), one of the authors of the same. It will be through this medium, where the entire editorial process is carried out, so that no shipments made by other means will be taken care of.

• Author registration: Access the editorial management platform of the journal, and in the REGISTRY https://formacionasunivep.com/ejep/index.php/journal/user/register complete the form with the personal data (Note: for to be able to send an article to the magazine, it is necessary that you register as an author, checking the corresponding box at the end of the form).

• Sending of works: Access the personal area, to START A NEW SHIPPING, where you will start the process to register your proposal, in 5 steps (If you have any questions or problems during the process, you can contact us by mail electronic to ejep@uautonoma.cl). 

6.- Apart from the review process, all proposals will be submitted to an initial evaluation by the Editorial Committee of the journal. In this case, three mandatory criteria are established for all works, which will be a fundamental requirement, for submission to external reviewers. The criteria proposed by the Editorial Committee are as follows:

a. The work must comply with the publication rules of the journal.

b.The theme must be related to the editorial line of the journal.

c.The research must bring results of interest and scientific relevance.

The Editorial Committee will evaluate the fulfillment of these criteria, deciding on the continuity with the review process.

 

7.- In the second part of the process, the work will be sent to 2 evaluators, anonymously. They will send the resolution to the Editorial Committee following the sections of the review form, in which formal, content and scientific relevance aspects will be assessed, as well as the overall assessment of quality and originality. The result will result in the acceptance or rejection of the manuscript, indicating the necessary corrections to be made. In the case of pointing out the need to make major corrections, a new review process will be initiated later.

 

8.- In the case that formal corrections should be made before sending to the reviewers, the authors will be informed to do so. No work will be peer reviewed until corrections have been made. To facilitate the task of the Editorial Committee, when authors submit a previously evaluated manuscript with the suggested corrections, they will do so in "change control" mode, and specify those modifications made. If, after 3 months after the receipt of the manuscript by the EJEP, the author has not been informed of the acceptance of the manuscript, the manuscript is deemed rejected and can be sent to another publication.

 

9.- In each article published will include the date of receipt of the manuscript, the date of shipment after the modifications and the date of final acceptance.
