Peer Review Process

The Technology Journal adopts a meticulously rigorous and well-structured peer review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the articles it publishes. It is based on the dissemination of technological and scientific knowledge in the fields of architecture, computer science, civil engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics engineering, production engineering, telecommunications engineering, environmental and sanitary engineering, and other related sciences. The process begins with a preliminary evaluation conducted by the editors, who check whether the submitted manuscript aligns with the journal's mission and editorial line, focusing on ensuring that only works that meet the criteria of relevance and thematic adherence proceed to the subsequent stages.

After this initial validation, the manuscripts are forwarded to a double-blind review process, in which at least two anonymous specialists in the technological and scientific field are tasked with conducting a detailed qualitative assessment. Each reviewer has a period of 15 to 25 days to analyze the content and provide constructive feedback, including criticisms and suggestions for improvements. This double-blind review method ensures the impartiality and objectivity of the evaluation process.

The issued opinions are then compiled by the executive committee of the Technology Journal and sent to the authors, allowing them the opportunity to review their works according to the received suggestions. At this stage, the authors can make the suggested adjustments and resubmit their articles for a new round of evaluation, which is crucial to ensure that the proposed modifications improve the academic quality of the manuscripts.

After receiving the revised articles, they are re-evaluated to verify if all the reviewers' recommendations were properly incorporated. The final selection of articles for publication considers criteria such as the score given by the reviewers, thematic relevance, academic contribution, institutional diversity of the authors, as well as the inclusion of articles in different languages, as required by academic evaluation bodies.

Throughout the process, authors are kept informed of the evaluation progress through the Electronic Journal Publishing System (SEER/OJS), which facilitates transparent and effective communication between all parties involved in the editorial process.

Exceptionally, the editorial team of the Technology Journal may invite renowned specialists to contribute articles.

This careful peer review process ensures that each article published in the Technology Journal meets the highest standards of academic excellence, providing a valuable contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the technological and scientific field.
