If the arbitrators do not agree on their criteria, a third party will be appointed. A form will be used where the criteria and arguments of the arbitration are reflected. This constitutes the arbitration guide.

The Editorial Committee will make the decision to accept the submission without restrictions, communicate the observations and suggestions made. The approximate time an article takes from the moment it is published can be a minimum of four months and a maximum of eight months, depending on the time it takes for the arbitrators to communicate their decision.
