Presentation


    Hipo-Tesis numbered series are the extended version of the Alphabetical Series based on lengthier, more elaborate and in-depth scientific texts. Reciprocity takes place under longer periods of reflection. This transfer onto paper reaffirms its will to remain as well as reasserting and encouraging the endurance of the dialogue generated in both spaces.


    Participation proccess for the Numbered Series


    For an article to partake in a current or future issue of the Numbered Series of HipoTesis, its author must fill in the specified template, that can be found here as well as in the “participation template” section. The file requests some personal data, a brief CV, the article itself and a brief statement by its author certifying the originality of the piece (stating it has not been published in other media or is under review by other publications). Lastly, the Editorial Board will verify the fulfillment of publishing regulations and will confirm the inclusion of the article for its evaluation with its author.


    Evaluation.

    The magazine’s Editorial Board will advise on the relevance of the theme that each article proposes and the Board of Directors will ultimately decide whether or not the piece is included in the pre-selection of articles.
    Pre-selected articles will be examined by two anonymous reviewers, both external to the Editorial Board of HipoTesis magazine. Based on this evaluation, the Board of Directors will inform the author about one of the following options:

    1-Acceptance of the article without any modifications.
    2-Acceptance of the article under the condition of making small changes suggested by the peer review.
    3-Suggestion by the peer review to modify major parts of the piece. After these are made the document is submitted once more for a new review process.
    4-Non-acceptance of the article accompanied by a brief explanation of the reason for this decision.
