Submission Procedure
The papers are received through the editorial management platform of Base Diseño e Innovación. Each document must be in Microsoft Word format and the author(s) must register, complete the information required and upload the corresponding document.
Editorial process
Papers are evaluated by a double-blind review, in which authors and evaluators do not know each other's identity and institutional affiliation. The editorial team considers the relevance of the material received, promptly notifying the author regarding the acceptance or rejection of the material sent.
In case of discrepancy between the peer evaluation, the editor(s) will decide to accept, request modification, or reject the article.
The editors will gather in a single document the evaluations of each reviewer. They will send them to the respective authors to inform the reasons for the acceptance, request for modifications or rejection of the paper. The author(s) will have a period of three weeks to make the modifications requested by the journal.
If the article is subject to corrections, the editor(s) will receive the new version and verify compliance with the observations and suggestions made by the evaluators. If further doubts arise, the editor(s) will contact the author(s).
Once the evaluation process of all the articles has been completed, the editor(s) will notify the Editorial Committee of the new issue's contents to obtain suggestions for the final publication.
