Reviews

The peer review process will be managed through the journal's digital platform. It will follow a double-blind modality, where authors will not know the identity of the reviewers, and the reviewers will assess the contributions without knowing the identity of the authors. Reviewers are bound by confidentiality and must not disclose the document they are assigned to review. Therefore, they commit to maintaining complete confidentiality regarding the data, results, or any other findings they may become aware of as a result of their role as reviewers. They must refrain from using any arguments, data, or discoveries from the articles until they are published.

In case a reviewer decides not to conduct the review, they must inform the Editorial Committee and ideally suggest other qualified reviewers for the proposed document.

By accepting to review the proposed document, the reviewer must evaluate a series of items presented in the evaluation form available on the journal's digital platform.

The outcome of their evaluation will consist of completing the mentioned evaluation form (which can be filled out online or downloaded from the journal's website), and a copy of the reviewed document with all the comments, observations, and corrections the reviewer deems necessary. Both the completed form and the document with comments must be managed through the journal's OJS system, though as a last resort, they may be sent via email to pedagogicalconstellations@gmail.com.

Reviewer Responsibilities

• Accept the review of texts that fall within their area of expertise to ensure an appropriate evaluation.
• Declare any conflict of interest at the beginning of the process. If the reviewer suspects the identity of the author(s), they must inform the journal if this knowledge presents a potential conflict of interest.
• Immediately reject the review if unable to complete it within the agreed timeframe.
• Base their evaluation on the originality, contribution of the article to the subject area, methodology employed, relevance and timeliness of the bibliography used, style, coherence, and quality of the structure and writing.
• Inform the journal immediately if, during the review, they find or realize that they lack the necessary expertise to assess all aspects of the text.
• Ensure that their critiques are objective, specific, and constructive.
• Clearly define the approval, rejection, or conditional acceptance of the text.
• Submit their evaluation within the agreed timeframe.
• Maintain confidentiality during and after the review process.
• Refrain from using the content of the reviewed or under-review text.
