The Colombian History of Education Journal adopts the "Guide to Good Practices for Open Access Academic Journals" (http://www.latindex.org/lat/documentos/descargas/Manual-Buenas_Practica_Revistas_Academicas.pdf) and the recommendations of COPE (Committee of Publication Ethics), for which the authors must take into account the following aspects:
Corroborate that the manuscript sent to the Colombian History of Education Journal complies with internationally accepted ethical standards.
All articles submitted for publication in the journal should be reviewed exhaustively by the authors, respecting the parameters and norms established by the journal.
Articles derived from research carried out with other people, institutions or organizations must have the corresponding authorizations, which should be sent with the postulated article. Inform the journal about the funding of the investigation, if applicable, and the name of the project from which the investigation is derived; additionally, academic and correspondence information (See publication request form: article and author information).
Declare that the article proposed to be published is original, the result of a research process, that it is not published, nor it is in the process of evaluation for publication in another journal or other electronic media (See publication request form: originality statement and cession of copyright).
Communicate immediately to the editor in case of identifying any error in the article.
4. COURT EVALUATION PROCESS
The published articles are subject to a peer evaluation process with the participation of national or international external evaluators. The works are subject to a first review by the Editorial Committee to determine if they meet the requirements established in the delivery parameters of the article, citation rules and if they correspond to the thematic scope of the journal. If they pass that first revision, the manuscripts are sent to the evaluation of two external peers, experts in the subject, through the "double blind system", who send their concept to the Editorial Committee according to the evaluation format. In case of discrepancy, the Editor may request the review of a third evaluator.
The evaluators are external to the Publishing Entity and the Editorial Committee. Its evaluation is decisive for making decisions about the publication without changes, the acceptance with adjustments and a new revision to accept or reject the article.
The result of the evaluations is communicated to the author, either approved without changes, approved with modifications, approved with modifications and new revision or rejected. When the concepts are positive, adjustments and observations are sent to the author who must perform them within a maximum period of 15 calendar days, the article is rejected if it is not delivered on the established dates or when it is not adjusted according to the observations made by the evaluators.
