Procedure of the scholary peer review of the paper
Population Ageing in Latin America (PA in LA) implements a scientific review procedure, hereinafter referred to as the procedure.
The procedure applies to every scientific article.
All parties involved in the publication process (publisher, editor of the scientific journal, reviewer and author) are obliged to comply with the established procedure of scientific review.
Review procedure
The review procedure of the articles consists of two stages:
• The first stage: internal evaluation - Editors in Chief of the journal makes an initial analysis of the article from the point of view of its compliance with the basic requirements of the scientific work and the substantive level and decides whether to reject the article or submit it for review. In case of rejection of the article, the Editors in Chief returns the text to the author, and in case of positive evaluation, he selects the reviewer(s) of the article using the double-blind review rule.
• The second stage: external evaluation - articles are reviewed by at least one expert in a given field, who is an independent researcher with at least a doctoral degree.
• PA in LA guarantees the candidate for a reviewer the freedom to decide whether to accept or reject the work for review.
• In order to ensure the impartiality of the evaluation, the reviewer receives an anonymised text. PA in LA applies the rule of double-blind review. If the reviewer's use of knowledge about the author's previous research is necessary for a reliable assessment of the text, the director of the publishing house/scientific editor makes a decision to apply the rule of single blind review. In such cases, the reviewer signs a declaration that there is no conflict of interests.
• PA in LA guarantee's independence of reviewers' opinions. It is considered unacceptable to probe the reviewer's opinion or to exert pressure on him, both in the period preceding the signing of the agreement for the preparation of the review and during its execution by the reviewer.
• The expert prepares an appropriate review and submits it to the Journal. The review must be formulated in written form and must end with an unambiguous conclusion regarding:
o accepting work without corrections;
o accepting work after making the requested corrections;
o rejecting the paper.
-PA in LA may refuse to accept a review if it does not comply with the contract and the relevant legal regulations.
-In the case of positive review(s), the author implements potential corrections suggested by the reviewer(s). After the proposed monograph is modified, the author submits the final version of the publication to PA in LA.
-In case of negative review(s) the paper is rejected.
-In case of one positive and one negative review an additional reviewer is appointed.
-This journal checks for plagiarism (Plagiarism Detection Software: iThenticate)
-Expect on average 12 weeks from submission to publication.
