Requirements to Publish

   • Clarify if the research is in progress or completed (start and end dates).
   • Academic training of the author and his/her current employment status, indicated in a footnote.
2. The editing committee of the issue will announce the acceptance of the abstracts so that the proponents may begin to elaborate on their texts.
3. A fundamental guideline that determines the approval of an article to be reviewed by academic peers is that the article is concerned with the contents mentioned in the approved abstract.
4. Those interested in participating in the other sections of the Journal ("Creation Processes", "New Nómadas", "Reflections from University" and "Reviews") must meet the requirements previously mentioned, being aware that the themes do not necessarily have to be related to the monographic theme of each issue.
5. Those interested in participating in the monographic section can check the Call for the Monographic Theme, available every six months.
6. Those interested in participating in the other sections of the Journal ("Creation Processes", "New Nómadas", "Reflections from University" and "Reviews") can check the Permanent Call.
7. NÓMADAS does not create any cost or charge to the authors for the receipt of their articles, the editorial process, or the publication of the article in the event that it is approved for publication.

 Process

• The acceptance of an article(s) does not necessarily imply their publication, since everyone must follow a rigorous evaluation process.
• All articles are initially evaluated by the editor committee and then by two academic pairs who are experts in the subject.
• If the assessments issued by the academic pairs are contradictory, the Journal will find a third evaluator to resolve the issue.
• The academic pairs are selected according to their training, experience, suitability and academic trajectory in the subject.
• The Journal has a format which allows the academic peers to evaluate criteria such as composition, argumentative clarity, subject management, relevance and innovation, effective use of sources, and quality of conclusions, among others.
• The evaluation process is double blind, anonymous in both directions, in order to guarantee the objectivity of the assessments.
• The academic peers must maintain confidentiality regarding the evaluation of a document and must not disclose their content to third parties. In case there is a conflict of interest, the peers should refrain from performing this work.
• These academic experts have the responsibility to suggest the acceptance, rejection or approval with modifications of the evaluated article.
• If the article belongs to a member of the Journal's internal editorial committee, the reviewers must always be external of the editorial committee in order to ensure objectivity.
• If the decision of an academic peer (approval or rejection) does not have enough sustenance, the Journal will ask the academic peer to qualify the evaluation. In the event that it is not possible, the Journal will locate a new evaluator.
• The editing team will notify the authors when/if their article was approved or rejected and will explain the reasons for their decision. Likewise, the editing team will send their opinions in each case.
• The authors agree to amend the text based on the assessments of the evaluators and the editorial committee, and to submit the new version within a period of no more than two weeks (fifteen days), after receiving the corresponding comments.

The cases of conflict in the assessment are resolved in accordance with the policies established by the Committee on Ethics in Publication (COPE): https://publicationethics.org/
