Peer Review Process
The process of evaluating articles submitted to PPP takes place in two stages, including the double blind review system:
- First step: consists of a preliminary evaluation of the Editor-in-Chief in conjunction with the Editorial Committee to verify the adequacy of the text to the editorial line of the Journal. Whenever they deem it necessary, they may request the adequacy of the text to the scope, and aspects such as contribution to the state of the art and novelty of the text. Only the works approved in this first stage will be assigned to "blind" peer evaluation.
- Second Stage: the original articles are sent to the evaluation of two members of the Review Board, or ad hoc evaluators, according to the blind review system. The criteria for the evaluation of the articles take into account relevance of the theme, originality, clarity and development of the text, methodology used, adequacy of the bibliography, conclusions and contribution offered to the knowledge of the area. In the case of reviews it will be considered if the commented work is recent (last two years) or if, being older, it has not yet been analyzed and has impact in its area of expertise.
