  1. Peer review

All the articles will be subjected to a first analysis of originality via the Turnitin software. The result of this analysis will be reviewed by the journal's Editorial Committee, which will decide if the article is approved to start the peer review process. 

It is important to note that the manuscripts will not begin the peer review process or will be returned to their authors for modification if:

  • The topic does not correspond to the thematic field of the journal.
  • It does not follow the guidelines for authors.
  • The author(s) have already published in the issue of the volume to which they are submitting the paper.
  • The Format for authorization and guarantee of first publication is not sent to the journal.
  • The article is not derived from a research process.

If the document meets the criteria above and is approved by the Editorial Committee, it will be sent for academic peer review through the double-blind procedure, in which the confidentiality of both the author(s) and the reviewers will be preserved. The criteria to be evaluated are: 

  • Form and content
  • Relevance of the topic
  • Adequate research problem with the selected thematic subject
  • Solidity and sufficiency in the theoretical references
  • Clarity and pertinence in the selection of the employed methodology
  • Internal consistency between the theoretical perspective, objectives, methodology, interpretations, results, and conclusions.

From the acceptance of the invitation, the peer review has twenty (20) calendar days to issue their concept. The academic peer may suggest publishing without any modification or publishing after modifications, requesting to reevaluate the article after modifications or rejecting it. In case of differences in opinions, the Editorial Committee will designate a third evaluator to solve the conflict.

You can consult the evaluation form used by the Enunciation reviewers here: https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/enunc/libraryFiles/downloadPublic/353

The editorial assistant will be in charge of informing the author(s) of the opinion and the suggestions of the evaluators. The authors will have to adjust the manuscript within a time established by the editorial team. Finally, once the reviewers verify the changes, they will issue a final decision on the article, which will be communicated to the Editorial Committee and the authors of the text.
