Manuscripts should be sent to the Journal through the OJS platform (https://bit.ly/33yPkxU). Foro acknowledges receipt of the papers sent by the authors and informs about the process of estimation/rejection and acceptance/rejection, as well as, in case of acceptance, the editing process. The complete rules of the publication are available on the web page:
Within a maximum period of 30 days after the closing of the call for papers, each author receives notification of receipt, indicating whether the work is rejected or preliminarily considered for evaluation by academic peers. In case the manuscript presents formal deficiencies or is not included in the thematic focus of the journal, the Editorial Committee rejects the work without the option to return. On the contrary, if it presents superficial formal deficiencies, it is returned to the author for correction before the start of the evaluation process. Manuscripts that pass the preliminary review phase are scientifically evaluated anonymously by two experts in the subject matter under the double blind peer review methodology, where the anonymity of the peer reviewers and the author is respected at all times. The protocol used by the reviewers of the Journal is public. The double blind peer review process takes a maximum of 100 days. All authors receive the scientific evaluation reports of their manuscript anonymously, so that they can make (if necessary) the appropriate improvements or replications. Papers that are evaluated positively and require modifications (both minor and major) are sent to the authors, who have a maximum of 7 days to return the article incorporating the corresponding improvements. In case of discrepancies in the results of the peer review process, the article is sent to a third anonymous expert, whose evaluation defines the relevance of the article to continue to the next phase. The evaluation form used by Foro: Law Journal maintains a qualitative and a quantitative component. In this sense, in view of the evaluation reports, and once the authors - where appropriate - have incorporated the observations of the blind peers, and the thematic editor of the edition has validated these additions, the Editorial Committee of the journal meets to evaluate each of the review reports and determine the articles to be published. Articles rejected or rejected during the editorial process of a call for papers may not be resubmitted for consideration by the Journal. The authors of accepted articles are notified and before sending the materials to the co-publisher, the journal's editorial team performs a final style review of each article. Each issue of Foro: Law Journal is published at the beginning of its stated period: January and July of each year. The Journal - if necessary - publishes corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies. |
