The following image summarizes the main stages of the journal's editorial flow, which primarily takes place on the OJS Platform:

After submission, the manuscript will undergo a pre-evaluation. At this stage, the data entered in the platform will be checked against the submitted documents. A thorough analysis will be conducted by the editorial team, which will communicate its decision to the authors within an average period of 30 days. A manuscript approved in the first analysis does not exclude the possibility of requesting modifications and resolving pending issues from the authors. If approved, after the requested modifications are submitted to the editorial team, the manuscript will be sent for peer review.

The reviewers' evaluations will guide the editors' decision, who will then send the authors either an acceptance letter—with mandatory corrections or not—or a rejection letter. If the manuscript is approved, the authors must contact the Ibero-American Education Publisher to initiate the processes of revision, translation, formatting, metadata review, final text verification, publication, indexing, and dissemination.

The editorial team warns that during the process described above, minor variations may occur, depending on the specific needs of each author. Therefore, it is essential to establish clear communication between the author and the journal, based on ethics, transparency, and problem-solving, ensuring that issues are resolved efficiently and the process remains effective.
