Peer Review Process
Ecos de la Academia applies a double-blind peer review process conducted by subject specialists. Each manuscript undergoes a preliminary assessment by the editorial team to verify its relevance to the journal’s scope, compliance with formal requirements, originality, metadata, ethical declarations, and adherence to the journal’s editorial policies.
Manuscripts that successfully pass the preliminary assessment are sent to two independent subject specialists who are not members of the editorial team and have no conflicts of interest. At least one reviewer must be external to Universidad Técnica del Norte. The evaluation follows a double-blind peer review model: neither authors nor reviewers are informed of the identity of the other party.
The editorial decision is made taking into account the reviewers’ reports, academic quality, originality, relevance, methodological consistency, currency of the literature, ethical transparency, and the manuscript’s contribution to the field of education.
A complete description of the stages, responsibilities, criteria, and indicative timelines of the editorial process is available in the section Detailed Description of the Article Selection Process .
