Peer review process
Articles submitted are reviewed by anonymous specialized peers. The reviewers are suggested by the members of the Editorial Committee. When reviews do not concur, the text is sent to another specialist, whose decision will be final. In order to guarantee a fair and impartial review, when imprecise and biased evaluations are received, the Editorial Committee will undertake the review. The author will be informed of the results of the review along with comments, suggestions and notes from the reviewers within four months following receipt of the original document. All review decisions are final. When articles are rejected because the subject matter is not in keeping with the journal’s line of research, the article will not be reviewed by double-blind peers. When the result of the review is positive and the changes to be made have been indicated, changes to the manuscript will be requested according to the reviewers’ suggestions. The author may challenge the changes or choose to withdraw the article. The new version shall be submitted within two weeks, otherwise the article will be rejected. The corrected text will be sent to one of the original reviewers to confirm that the suggestions were actually incorporated, and to a different expert in the subject to decide if the original document should be accepted for publication. Once the second version has been accepted by the academic peers, further changes cannot be made, except for adaptation to the rules for delivering original documents to the journal.

Editorial ethics and good practices
The Anáhuac Journal actively combats plagiarism and fraudulent publication practices. To this end, it presents a declaration of editorial ethics based on the principles established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
The author, whose contribution is selected for publishing, takes responsibility over the fact that the text does not breach the existing legislation, especially in the field of copyright. By submitting their manuscripts, the authors approve that at the moment of offering their work to be published in The Anáhuac Journal they had legal access to the data used and provided the complete list of co-authors, used grants, or other binding forms of financial and material support associated with their scientific and research activities.
In case the Editorial Committee of the journal and the Editor have doubts or controversies about the publication of an article, the Research Ethics Committee of the University will deliberate about its publication.
All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other conflicts that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.
The Anáhuac Journal encourages Open Access, and therefore does not charge any fee for published texts, nor for texts submitted for evaluation, review, publication or download.
Responsibilities of the Editorial Committee
The description of the peer review process is defined and disclosed by the Editorial Committee so that authors are aware of the review criteria. The Editorial Committee is prepared to defend any dispute arising during the review process.
Responsibilities of the editor
The editor is responsible for all texts published in the journal, making an effort to meet the needs of the readers and authors, to constantly improve the journal, to guarantee the quality of the published material, as well as upholding academic and scientific standards. The editor will also publish corrections, explanations, retractions and apologies as necessary.
The editor’s decision to accept or reject a text for publication will be based solely on the article’s relevance, originality, clarity and appropriateness for the journal.
The editor is committed to ensuring the confidentiality of the review process and will not reveal the identity of the authors to the reviewers. The editor will also not reveal the identity of the reviewers . The editor will duly inform the author about the status of the editorial process for their text, as well as the decisions made.
The editor evaluates manuscripts and their intellectual content without discriminating on the basis of the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnicity, nationality or the political affiliation of the author.
Neither the editor nor any member of the editorial team will disclose information regarding a manuscript sent to any person other than the corresponding author, reviewer, potential reviewer or other editorial consultants.
Unpublished materials included in a manuscript received will not be used in any editor’s personal research without the prior express and written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained from peer reviews will be confidential and will not be used for personal gain. Editors shall make fair and impartial decisions, and they shall guarantee a fair and appropriate review process.
Responsibilities of the authors
Authors must guarantee that their manuscripts are the product of their original work and that they obtained their data using ethical practices. Authors must also guarantee that their works have not been previously published nor are being considered for another publication. A work will be considered previously published in the following situations:
- When the complete text has been previously published.
- When long fragments of previously published materials are part of the text that was submitted to the journal and there are no significant changes in reviewing those materials.
- When the work submitted to the journal is included in memoires published in extenso.
These standards refer to prior print or electronic publications, in any language.
For works to be published, authors should strictly follow the guidelines for authors that are defined on the website and in the print version of the journal.
Authors will submit their articles to the journal through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) in accordance with the previously mentioned guidelines for authors.
Authors must present a concise description of their research, as well as an objective discussion of its relevance. Underlying data should be accurately represented in the article. A document should be sufficiently detailed and have enough references to allow others to use the work. Fraudulent or deliberately inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Authors must guarantee they wrote the complete work themselves, and if they have used work and/or words from other sources, these must be properly cited. Plagiarism in any form constitutes unacceptable and unethical editorial behavior. Consequently, any plagiarized manuscript will be rejected and will not be published.
In general, an author should not publish articles that essentially describe the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submission of manuscripts to more than one publication constitutes unethical behavior and therefore will not be published.
Sources should be properly cited. Authors should cite the publications that have had an influence in the nature of their submitted work.
Authorship should be limited to those that have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution or interpretation of the study. All persons that have made significant contributions should appear as coauthors. The principal author(s) should ensure that all coauthors are included in the article, and that all coauthors have seen and approved the final version of the document, and have given their prior consent for submission of the document for publication.
All authors should disclose any financial conflict or other type of conflict in their manuscript that could have an influence on the results or the interpretation of their manuscript. All the financial sources that supported the project must be disclosed.
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they must immediately notify the editor of the publication or the editorial coordinator and work together to correct or retract the article.
Responsibilities of the reviewers
Reviewers commit to reporting any unethical behavior on the part of the authors and to indicate any information that may give reason for rejecting an article. Additionally, they also commit to upholding confidentiality on all information related to the manuscripts they review.
The journal will provide to the reviewers the guidelines for reviewing articles, which the reviewers will abide by during the review process.
Selected reviewers are required to notify the journal managers, within the established time, whether or not they are qualified and able to review a paper.
Any manuscript received for review should be treated as a confidential document. It should not be disclosed or discussed with any other experts, unless authorized by the editor.
Reviewers shall be objective. Personal criticism of the author is considered inappropriate. Reviewers must express their opinions with clear and valid arguments.
All privileged information or ideas resulting from the peer review shall be confidential and should not be used for personal gain.
Reviewers should not review manuscripts that would represent a conflict of interest for them.
