Once original texts have been analysed by the editorial board, they will be subjected to the external opinions of two specialists on the subject. The method of evaluation used will be peer review and the anonymity of both the author and the evaluators will be maintained. After publication, authors who so wish may be told the identity of the evaluators and the result of their thorough analysis.

After this evaluation, the editorial board will decide whether or not to go ahead with the publication, notifying the authors within a maximum period of six months. Once this step has been taken, articles will be placed in a waiting list for publication, in the order that they were sent to the journal and according to the opinion of the editorial board.
