The Journal does not charge for the submission and processing of articles. Does not charge APC.

EVALUATION SYSTEM

For the arbitration of articles, Noesis. Revista Electrónica de Investigación, uses double-blind peer review; where the evaluators do not know the identity of the authors of the articles, and the authors do not know the identity of the evaluators. Articles other than Spanish and English will be received. The Evaluators are external to the Journal and the Foundation.

THEMATIC SCOPE

Noesis. Revista Electrónica de Investigación is multidisciplinary, covering the following fields of knowledge in all its derivations:

• Social Sciences and Humanities

GENERALITIES

Articles must be original and unpublished; in addition to not being submitted simultaneously in other journals.

Noesis, Revista Electrónica de Investigación establishes the policy of double-blind academic peer review; where the evaluators do not know the identity of the authors of the articles, and the authors do not know the identity of the evaluators.

The work of the evaluators is strictly confidential. The journal is not responsible for the actions of the evaluators, who are completely autonomous.

Once the article is received for arbitration, the Editorial Committee selects two external reviewers from the journal and the Foundation who anonymously evaluate the quality of the document according to the standards of the journal.

Articles other than Spanish and English will be received.

The articles submitted to the journal must have a maximum of four authors, including the main one. The editorial committee will consider the exception to this rule, based on the criteria of originality, relevance, contribution and extension of the investigative process developed in the article.

JOURNAL PERIODICITY

The Noesis journal has a semi-annual periodicity organized in an annual volume that includes two numbers. Each issue is published during the first quarter of each period.

• Number 1. Period: January-June.
• Number 2. Period: July-December.

With the approval of the editorial committee; an ordinary issue may be published before the start of the declared period. Approved articles will be published in the immediately available issue.

The journal may carry out extraordinary issues (special editions), prior agreement with groups, networks, institutions and organizations, that carry out research events such as congresses, forums, conferences, presentations, among others; for which it is essential to present the articles adjusted to these editorial standards. For the presentation of the special edition it must be with the approval of the editorial committee.

SELECTION FOR PUBLICATION

The reception of a manuscript does not oblige the publication of the same. The manuscripts received will be reviewed by the Editorial Committee and will be submitted to review by external peers, usually experts in the respective topic. The Editorial Committee reserves the right to accept, reject, request modifications and make the corrections deemed necessary to adjust the manuscript to the style of the journal.

The review of the manuscripts will be done respecting the right of the authors to confidentiality regarding the information, results and creative effort. Likewise, the right to confidentiality of reviewers and editors will be respected.

The Journal admits comments and opinions that dissent with the published material, accepts the reasoned retractions of the authors and will correct in a timely manner the typographical or other errors that may have been committed when publishing an article.

Of the editorial process

The collaborators will upload the article to the OJS of the Journal (download in Journal Formats). When registering the article in the platform, you must specify everything requested in the boxes and upload the article.

Together with the article, the Declaration of Responsibility and Originality must be received.

The writings published in Ingenium et Potentia are the exclusive responsibility of the authors, both for their methods, opinions and affirmations.

The article must be reviewed by the Editorial Committee in a period no longer than 7 days and one of the following opinions is issued:

1. Does not meet the established requirements and is rejected.
2. Needs minor changes and is sent back to its authors to make the pertinent corrections.
3. The article meets the requirements, the authors are notified and it is sent to the arbitration process.

In case of opinion 2, the author must upload the new version with the pertinent corrections and the arbitration process begins. Articles not approved by the Editorial Committee may not be resubmitted for arbitration.

To guarantee the originality and respect of the copyright of other researchers, the articles that aspire to be published in the journal Ingenium et Potentia will be submitted to review by means of an anti-plagiarism program, of which the Koinonía foundation has the respective license acquired. From the analysis carried out of the report issued the article:

• To continue the editorial process can not have more than 10% similarity with other documents.
• If it has a similarity between 10 and 20% of the content will be sent to the authors for their respective corrections in a maximum time of 30 days.
• If it has a similarity of more than 20% the article will be rejected.

All of the above is framed from the policy of ethics and good publication practices.

If the decision of the Editorial Committee is approved, the collaborator or collaborators will be notified that it passes to the arbitration process.

The articles will be evaluated from 4 core criteria:

1. Originality / Innovation of the research.
2. Utility / Social and Technical Relevance.
3. Expository clarity of the text.
4. Scientific rigor from the paradigm or investigative approach assumed / Argumentation / Conclusions or final considerations.

When reviewing the article, the academic peers issue an opinion in the Reviewer Template and may suggest:

• Approved
• Approved with modifications (the authors are requested to make the pertinent modifications)
• Not approved.

The evaluators will have a period of 30 continuous days, from the reception of the article, to send to the Director and / or Editor, the evaluative report of the same. The Director and / or Editor will send said report to the author within a maximum period of 5 continuous days. When the article returns for corrections to the authors, they have a period of 30 days to return the article to the journal.

The final decision on the evaluation process, publication or not of the articles lies exclusively with the Director and / or Editor and the Editorial Committee, and will be made based on the suggestions, observations and recommendations issued by the evaluators. The projective term between the reception of the article and its publication is 8 weeks.

All articles are submitted to an editorial evaluation process, even when they have been reviewed by experts; and if necessary, the authors will be sent the appropriate recommendations to improve the quality of the articles to be published.

In the event that there are discrepancies between both reviewers, a third reviewer is used, whose decision, together with the Editorial Committee, will determine whether the article is published or rejected.

If the work is accepted or rejected definitively, the author will receive official communication in this regard.

The results of the process are unappealable and compliance with the Policy of Ethics and Good Publication Practices must be ensured to avoid conflicts of interest.

In the event that any ethical misconduct is detected in the publication at the beginning, during the editorial process or after publication, the journal Ingenium et Potentia will take the necessary corrective measures based on the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (www.publicationethics.org), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (http://www.icmje.org/) and Council of Science Editors (CSE) (https://www.councilscienceeditors.org/), which may include:

• the rejection or retraction of the article,
• the prohibition of publication of future articles to all authors in the journal,
• the notification to other journals, as well as,
• the communication to the respective authorities (institution of origin, institution that financed the study, professional associations and ethics committees).

The most frequent forms of unethical principles in publication are:

• Plagiarism: All publication proposals will be submitted to review by a text similarity detection program. Proposals that contain a similarity greater than 10% will not be accepted.
• Inadequate authorship: The participation in the authorship and the order of appearance in the article is the responsibility of the authors, the journal has no interference in these aspects. The authors should not make changes in the number and order of the authors once the editorial process has begun.
• Redundant publication (duplicate publication and fragmented publication): The journal does not accept duplicate publication, in case of incurring in this fault and demonstrating its occurrence, the authors are subject to the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

To ensure compliance with ethical principles, authors/researchers are recommended to:

• Identify the original sources of the elements used in the elaboration of the articles. Identifying the author or authors when considering a text or part of it, whose author is considered in the body of the work.
• Respect the intellectual property rights of third parties, avoiding fraudulent practices in research and publication, product of the manipulation of results and conclusions.
• In case of discovering significant errors or inaccuracies in their articles, they must immediately communicate to the editors of the journal and facilitate all the necessary investigation to make the corresponding corrections, which will be made in the electronic journal in the shortest possible time.

What is not contemplated in these editorial norms will be submitted by the Editorial Committee of the journal Noesis.
