Editorial process

The editorial process begins with the submission of the manuscript by the authors. In less than 15 business days, the editorial board will confirm receipt of the text. This notification implies the beginning of the editorial process. Next, the main stages of it are exposed.

The interruption of the process due to non-compliance or non-compliance with the established norms or other reasons for exclusion outlined, is followed by the communication to the authors to indicate the reason why the manuscript is not accepted in Cripsiley.

DEFINITION OF THE TYPE OF MANUSCRIPT

The editorial board will classify the manuscript in one of the three publication lines:

      • First line. Articles derived from research that, according to their nature, may be:
          1. Reflection articles: meta-research documents that present theoretical elaborations, critical interpretations, conceptualizations related to epistemological aspects or methodological constructions, derived from investigations completed by the authors.
          2. Scientific and technological research articles: documents that present, in detail, the original results of completed research projects. In general, the structure must contain six basic sections: introduction, conceptual references, methodology, results, discussion of results and conclusions.
          3. Review articles: documents that present state of the art or exhaustive reviews that account for the advances and trends in a field of knowledge, a subject or a particular problem. They are characterized by presenting a careful bibliographic review and having an important and pertinent number of references to research and theoretical works (minimum 50 references cited).
      • Second line. Essays.

This part includes high-level academic essays in which reflections not derived from investigative processes are presented. These are read and evaluated by the editorial committee and must comply with the guidelines set out in points 3 and 5 of the guidelines for authors.

      • Third line: Contexts: contributions and special information.

Writings such as interviews, conferences, lectures, translations, book reviews, inaugural lectures, among others. These manuscripts are read and evaluated by the editorial committee and must comply with the guidelines outlined in the guidelines for authors.
