When choosing a journal, the following aspects should be taken into account: the estimated publication timelines, whether the article fits the journal&#8217;s subject area or scope, the journal&#8217;s impact, and other relevant factors. These aspects are discussed in more detail in a  <a href=\"https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/2023\/07\/03\/elegir-revista-para-publicar-en-terapia-ocupacional-aspectos-a-tener-en-cuenta\/\">previous entry. <\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Once the target journal has been selected, <strong>its publication guidelines <\/strong> must be reviewed. It is necessary to adapt the manuscript to each journal&#8217;s specific requirements and recommendations. All journals include a section on their website &#8211; typically labelled <em>\u201cInformation or Guidelines for Authors\u201d <\/em>or<em> \u201cSubmission Guidelines\u201d <\/em>where the requirements for correct manuscript submission are detailed. Some of the guidelines and recommendations specified typically cover: manuscript formatting; figures and\/or tables (maximum word and figure counts; style for table headings and footnotes, etc.); the bibliographic referencing style used by the journal (APA, Vancouver, AMA, etc.) and whether a maximum number of references applies; the required length and format of the abstract (structured or unstructured); the maximum number of authors; and other related requirements. Some journals also request that the manuscript be structured into specific sections, or use different names for standard sections (e.g. &#8220;Methods&#8221; or &#8220;Methodology&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To better understand these requirements, it is helpful to visit the <strong> Author Guidelines <\/strong>of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/research.aota.org\/ajot\/pages\/authorguidelines\"><\/a>\u201d American Journal of Occupational Therapy (AJOT).  This journal asks authors to pay attention to several aspects. It specifies the platform through which manuscripts must be submitted and where to find the guidelines, as well as how to resolve any queries that may arise during the process. Four documents are listed: two of them &#8211; the   (\u201c<em>Copyright Transfer\/Author Certification\/Financial Disclosure Form<\/em>\u201d and the  <em>\u201cPre Submission Checklist for Authors<\/em>\u201c) must be completed prior to submission and included with the manuscript. The remaining two are guides for structuring the abstract and recommendations for systematic reviews. A further section specifies rules and recommendations regarding figures and tables. In the &#8220;Article Types, Word Limits, and Reporting Guidelines&#8221; section, two tables are provided: one describing the manuscript types and word counts, and another specifying the manuscript type and the recommended or required reporting guideline. Two additional sections address specific requirements for systematic reviews, clinical trials, and qualitative studies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Although each journal includes different elements in its author guidelines, <\/em>Although each journal includes different elements in its author guidelines, all are broadly similar. When adapting a manuscript, it can also be helpful to read several recent issues of the journal to get a sense of its general style, and to review its aims and scope carefully. To save time, it is advisable to have a target journal in mind at the start of \u2014 or during \u2014 the manuscript preparation process, so that its guidelines can be applied from the outset.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is important to carefully review the journal&#8217;s policies, publishing guidelines, and specifications, as the number of predatory journals\u2014those that do not meet quality standards is increasing and they should be avoided. A previous post provides information on what predatory journals are and tips for identifying them <a href=\"https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/2022\/07\/22\/revistas-open-access-y-depredadoras\/\">entrada<\/a>. It is also advisable to use an <a href=\"https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/2022\/03\/18\/guias-para-mejorar-la-transparencia-y-la-calidad-del-reporte-de-los-articulos-cientificos\/\">EQUATOR Network reporting guide<\/a> to ensure that no important aspect has been overlooked; some journals require authors to upload the complete checklist, indicating the page or line number where each point is addressed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Finally, it should be noted that the first journal to which a manuscript is submitted may not be the one that publishes it \u2014 manuscripts are sometimes rejected and must be resubmitted elsewhere. Before resubmitting, all the aspects of the new journal discussed above should be reviewed carefully, since although documents and requirements are similar across journals, each one has its own specific requirements and stylistic preferences.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_2,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/files\/2024\/09\/3.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;3&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Imagen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&#038;id=1d41DPntrnJkHssRTf6P_c663lX87Lu&#8211;&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Bot\u00f3n&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Texto&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; vertical_offset_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; horizontal_offset_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>2) Designating the corresponding author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Submitting a manuscript to a journal is a process carried out by the corresponding author of the article.

For example, AJOT uses the Manuscript Central platform. If submitting to a journal for the first time, it will be necessary to register on the platform by selecting &#8220;Create an Account.&#8221; If an account already exists, simply log in with your credentials to proceed with the submission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At this stage, the corresponding author must review the manuscript style and requirements detailed in the <em> \u201cauthor guidelines \u201d <\/em>once more, and check whether any additional documentation needs to be included (ethics committee approval documents, datasets, etc.). For example, the <em>American Journal of Occupational Therapy <\/em>requires the submission of the <em>\u201cCopyright Transfer\/Author Certification\/Financial Disclosure Form\u201d and the  \u201cPre Submission Checklist for Authors \u201c. <\/em>alongside the manuscript. It is also essential to include information on funding, potential conflicts of interest, and author contributions, among other important aspects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In addition to the documents accompanying the manuscript, it is common to include a brief cover letter. This letter should clearly identify the manuscript and highlight its importance or relevance to the journal&#8217;s subject area. It should provide a concise summary of the manuscript&#8217;s content, emphasising the main findings, innovations, or contributions to the field. It is useful to explain why the manuscript is suitable for the specific journal and how it aligns with its scope and aims. A brief statement on the originality of the work and its added value may also be included, along with any relevant information that may capture the editor&#8217;s or reviewers&#8217; attention. It is advisable to mention whether the manuscript has been presented at previous conferences, whether it has received any financial support, or whether there are any conflicts of interest to be declared. A well-crafted cover letter not only facilitates the editor&#8217;s understanding of the manuscript, but also contributes to a more efficient and effective evaluation of the submitted work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In some cases, a blinded manuscript may be required \u2014 that is, all information that could identify the authors, such as the name of the study or ethics committee, must be removed. In most cases, the title page containing the authors&#8217; names and affiliations must also be submitted separately. It is important that the authors&#8217; names are consistent across all documents and are always accompanied by their affiliations, <a href=\"https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/2022\/10\/18\/autoria-de-los-articulos-segun-el-icmje-e-identificadores-de-autor-a\/\">ORCID<\/a>identifiers, or email addresses..<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Some journals offer authors the option of suggesting reviewers for their article. This can be particularly valuable, as it allows experts in the field with in-depth knowledge of the topic to be proposed. When this option is available, authors should select reviewers who not only have experience and credibility in the manuscript&#8217;s subject area, but who are also impartial and free from conflicts of interest with the work. The suggestion should be accompanied by a brief justification of why each proposed reviewer is suitable, including their relevant experience, recent publications, and area of specialisation. It should be noted that, although authors may suggest reviewers, the final decision rests with the journal editor, who may accept or decline suggestions based on availability, impartiality, and fit with the manuscript&#8217;s topics. Journals typically have policies in place to ensure transparency and fairness in the review process, so author recommendations are considered as additional guidance rather than binding requests. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Once all required information and documents have been uploaded to the journal platform, a final check should be carried out to ensure that everything is correct and complete. To facilitate this, the platform typically generates a proof PDF of the manuscript, which will be sent by email. If any errors or inconsistencies are found, return to the platform to make the necessary corrections before finalising the submission. This review should be completed carefully, as once the proof PDF is confirmed, the manuscript will proceed to the next stage. Once this process is complete, the corresponding author \u2014 or in some cases all authors \u2014 will receive an email confirming submission to the journal. In some cases, it will also be necessary to confirm your identity as an author via a link provided in the email. This link will direct you to a platform where your role as author can be validated, and registration may be required if you do not already have an account. Completing this confirmation process correctly is essential to ensure the manuscript is managed efficiently and that all parties are properly registered in the journal&#8217;s system. This helps to avoid delays in the review process and contributes to more effective management of the publication workflow. Authors can also track the status of their manuscript through their account on the journal platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Finally, it is very important not to submit the same manuscript simultaneously to two different journals, as this constitutes a breach of publication ethics. Authors should wait for acceptance or rejection before preparing the manuscript for submission elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_2,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/files\/2024\/09\/1.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;1&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&#038;id=1G8plR9jFkFnt2HaY7G4fdG-8AHGRhgCw&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Bot\u00f3n&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Recommended references<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moore S.

A la hora de elegir una revista debes tener en cuenta las siguientes cuestiones: los tiempos de publicaci\u00f3n estipulados, que el art\u00edculo se adecue a la tem\u00e1tica o \u00e1rea de publicaci\u00f3n, el impacto de la revista, entre otros.

Todas las revistas contienen un apartado en su p\u00e1gina web sobre <em>\u201cinformaci\u00f3n o gu\u00eda para el autor\u201d <\/em>o<em> \u201cinformaci\u00f3n o gu\u00eda para el env\u00edo\u201d <\/em>donde se detallan los aspectos necesarios a seguir para el correcto env\u00edo del manuscrito. Algunas de las normas y sugerencias que se especifican hacen referencia \u00a0a: formato de presentaci\u00f3n del manuscrito; figuras y\/o tablas (n\u00famero m\u00e1ximo de palabras y figuras permitidas; estilo de inclusi\u00f3n de encabezados y pies de tabla, etc.); el estilo de referenciaci\u00f3n bibliogr\u00e1fica empleado por la revista (APA, Vancouver, AMA, etc.),y si existe un n\u00famero m\u00e1ximo de referencias permitidas a incluir; el n\u00famero de caracteres o palabras que debe contener el\u00a0 resumen y tipo de resumen (estructurado o no estructurado); n\u00famero m\u00e1ximo de autores\/as, entre otros. Adem\u00e1s, algunas revistas solicitan que se estructure el manuscrito en apartados concretos o dan nombres diferentes a los apartados comunes (ejemplo: m\u00e9todos o metodolog\u00eda).<\/p><p>Para comprender mejor estos t\u00e9rminos y los requerimientos que puede solicitar una revista, visitaremos las <strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/research.aota.org\/ajot\/pages\/authorguidelines\">Author Guidelines<\/a>\u201d <\/strong>del American Journal In Occupational Therapy (AJOT). Esta revista sugiere al\/la autor\/a prestar atenci\u00f3n a diferentes cuestiones. En primer lugar, especifica la plataforma por la que deber\u00e1n enviarse los manuscritos, as\u00ed como d\u00f3nde encontrar las normas y como resolver las dudas que a los\/as autores\/as les puedan surgir sobre este proceso. A continuaci\u00f3n, podemos encontrar 4 documentos, dos de ellos (\u201c<em>Copyright Transfer\/Author Certification\/Financial Disclosure Form<\/em>\u201d y <em>\u201cPre Submission Checklist for Authors<\/em>\u201c) deben ser cumplimentados previamente al env\u00edo del manuscrito, y ambos deben enviarse junto a \u00e9l. Los dos documentos restantes son gu\u00edas para estructurar el resumen o abstract y recomendaciones para las Revisiones Sistem\u00e1ticas. En segundo lugar, podemos encontrar un apartado en el que se especifican normas y recomendaciones sobre figuras y tablas. En el siguiente apartado \u201cTipos de art\u00edculos, l\u00edmite de palabras y directrices para los informes\u201d, encontramos dos tablas: en una de ellas est\u00e1n descritos los tipos de manuscritos y el n\u00famero de palabras y, en la segunda, se especifica el tipo de manuscrito y la gu\u00eda de reporte recomendada u obligatoria. Adem\u00e1s, encontramos dos apartados con cuestiones espec\u00edficas de los tipos de estudios de revisi\u00f3n sistem\u00e1tica, ensayos cl\u00ednicos y estudios cualitativos.<\/p><p>Aunque cada revista incluye cuestiones diferentes en su <em>informaci\u00f3n o gu\u00eda para el autor, <\/em>todas son similares. Para adecuar nuestro manuscrito, tambi\u00e9n puede ser de ayuda leer varios n\u00fameros recientes de la revista para extraer informaci\u00f3n sobre el estilo general de esta y revisar bien sus objetivos y filosof\u00eda. Adem\u00e1s, ser\u00eda interesante para poder ahorrar tiempo, que al inicio o durante la elaboraci\u00f3n del manuscrito, ya tengamos en mente una potencial revista a la que enviarlo, as\u00ed podremos ir aplicando su normativa desde el inicio.<\/p><p>Os recordamos que es muy importante revisar detenidamente las pol\u00edticas, normas de publicaci\u00f3n y especificaciones de la revista, ya que existe un n\u00famero creciente de revistas depredadoras que no siguen unos est\u00e1ndares de calidad y d\u00f3nde debemos evitar enviar nuestro trabajo.

De hecho, hay revistas que requieren que subas la lista de verificaci\u00f3n indicando el n\u00famero de p\u00e1gina o de l\u00ednea donde se incluye la informaci\u00f3n correspondiente.<\/p><p>Por \u00faltimo, hay que tener en cuenta que en ocasiones la primera revista a la que env\u00edas tu manuscrito, puede no ser la revista que lo publique, es decir, en ocasiones tu manuscrito ser\u00e1 rechazado y tendr\u00e1 que ser enviado a otra revista. Es esencial que antes de volver a enviar, revises todos los aspectos de la nueva revista comentados anteriormente porque, aunque los documentos y requisitos en cada revista son similares, cada una de ellas contempla algunas cuestiones y estilos diferentes.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2532\" src=\"https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/files\/2024\/09\/3-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>2) Designar a la persona encargada del proceso de env\u00edo del manuscrito: autor\/a de correspondencia <\/strong><\/p><p>El env\u00edo del manuscrito a una revista es un proceso que debe realizar el llamado <em>corresponding author<\/em> del art\u00edculo.

Por ejemplo, en la revista <em>American Journal of Occupational Therapy <\/em>piden que adjuntes junto al manuscrito los documentos <em>\u201cCopyright Transfer\/Author Certification\/Financial Disclosure Form\u201d y \u201cPre Submission Checklist for Authors \u201c. <\/em>Adem\u00e1s, es vital no olvidar incluir la informaci\u00f3n sobre la financiaci\u00f3n, los posibles conflictos de inter\u00e9s y las contribuciones de autor\u00eda, entre otros aspectos importantes.<\/p><p>Adem\u00e1s de la documentaci\u00f3n que acompa\u00f1a al manuscrito, es com\u00fan que se incluya una carta de presentaci\u00f3n breve. Esta carta debe identificar claramente el manuscrito y resaltar su importancia o relevancia en el \u00e1rea tem\u00e1tica de la revista. En la carta de presentaci\u00f3n, deber\u00e1s proporcionar un resumen conciso del contenido del manuscrito, destacando los principales hallazgos, innovaciones o contribuciones al campo. Es \u00fatil mencionar por qu\u00e9 el manuscrito es adecuado para la revista en particular, y c\u00f3mo se alinea con sus \u00e1reas de inter\u00e9s y objetivos. Tambi\u00e9n puedes incluir una breve declaraci\u00f3n sobre la originalidad del trabajo y su valor a\u00f1adido, as\u00ed como cualquier aspecto relevante que pueda captar la atenci\u00f3n del editor o revisor. Es recomendable mencionar si el manuscrito ha sido presentado en conferencias previas, si ha recibido alg\u00fan tipo de apoyo financiero, o si existen conflictos de inter\u00e9s que deben ser declarados. Una carta de presentaci\u00f3n bien elaborada no solo facilita la comprensi\u00f3n del manuscrito por parte del editor, sino que tambi\u00e9n contribuye a una evaluaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s eficiente y efectiva del trabajo enviado.<\/p><p>En ocasiones, se puede solicitar que el art\u00edculo est\u00e9 cegado, es decir, que se elimine del manuscrito toda informaci\u00f3n que pueda identificar a los autores, como el nombre del estudio o del comit\u00e9 de \u00e9tica. Asimismo, en la mayor\u00eda de los casos, se requiere que la p\u00e1gina con los nombres y las afiliaciones de los autores se presente por separado. Es importante que el nombre de las personas autoras sea siempre consistente en todos los documentos y se incluya junto con sus afiliaciones, <a href=\"https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/2022\/10\/18\/autoria-de-los-articulos-segun-el-icmje-e-identificadores-de-autor-a\/\">ORCID<\/a> o correo electr\u00f3nico.<\/p><p>Algunas revistas ofrecen la opci\u00f3n de que las personas autoras propongan revisores\/as para su art\u00edculo. Esta posibilidad puede ser especialmente valiosa, ya que permite sugerir expertos\/as en el campo que tienen un conocimiento profundo sobre el tema y pueden proporcionar una evaluaci\u00f3n detallada y justa del manuscrito. Cuando se brinda esta opci\u00f3n, las personas autoras deben seleccionar revisores\/as que no solo tengan experiencia y credibilidad en el \u00e1rea tem\u00e1tica del art\u00edculo, sino que tambi\u00e9n sean imparciales y no tengan conflictos de inter\u00e9s con el contenido del trabajo. La propuesta de revisores\/as debe ir acompa\u00f1ada de una breve justificaci\u00f3n de por qu\u00e9 cada revisor\/a sugerido\/a es adecuado, incluyendo su experiencia relevante, sus publicaciones recientes y su \u00e1rea de especializaci\u00f3n. Es importante tener en cuenta que, aunque las personas autoras pueden sugerir revisores\/as, la decisi\u00f3n final sobre qui\u00e9n revisar\u00e1 el manuscrito recae en el editor\/a de la revista. La persona editora puede aceptar o rechazar las sugerencias bas\u00e1ndose en la disponibilidad, la imparcialidad y el ajuste con los temas del manuscrito. Adem\u00e1s, las revistas suelen tener pol\u00edticas para asegurar la transparencia y la equidad en el proceso de revisi\u00f3n, por lo que las recomendaciones de las personas autoras se consideran como una gu\u00eda adicional, no como una solicitud vinculante.<\/p><p>Una vez que hayas subido toda la informaci\u00f3n y documentos requeridos en la plataforma de la revista, es esencial realizar una verificaci\u00f3n final para asegurar que toda la informaci\u00f3n es correcta y est\u00e1 completa. Para facilitar esta revisi\u00f3n, la plataforma normalmente genera un PDF en construcci\u00f3n del manuscrito, que te ser\u00e1 enviado por correo electr\u00f3nico. Si encuentras alg\u00fan error o inconsistencia durante esta revisi\u00f3n, regresa a la plataforma para realizar las correcciones necesarias antes de finalizar el env\u00edo. Es importante completar esta revisi\u00f3n con cuidado, ya que una vez que confirmes el contenido del PDF en construcci\u00f3n, el manuscrito pasar\u00e1 a la siguiente etapa. Una vez finalizado este proceso, el\/la autor\/a de correspondencia o todos\/as los\/as autores\/as recibir\u00e1n un correo notificando el env\u00edo a la revista. En algunos casos, tambi\u00e9n ser\u00e1 necesario confirmar tu identidad como autor\/a a trav\u00e9s de un enlace proporcionado en el correo. Este enlace te llevar\u00e1 a una plataforma donde podr\u00e1s validar tu rol como autor\/a, y en ocasiones ser\u00e1 necesario registrarse en la plataforma si a\u00fan no tienes una cuenta. Completar este proceso de confirmaci\u00f3n de manera correcta es esencial para garantizar que el manuscrito sea gestionado de forma eficiente y que todas las partes involucradas est\u00e9n correctamente registradas en el sistema de la revista. Esto ayuda a evitar retrasos en la revisi\u00f3n y contribuir\u00e1 a una gesti\u00f3n m\u00e1s efectiva del proceso de publicaci\u00f3n. Adem\u00e1s, como persona autora podr\u00e1s hacer un seguimiento del estado de manuscrito a trav\u00e9s de tu registro en la plataforma de la revista.<\/p><p>Por \u00faltimo, es muy importante no enviar el mismo manuscrito de forma simult\u00e1nea a dos revistas diferentes, ya que este hecho supone una mala pr\u00e1ctica en contra de la \u00e9tica de la publicaci\u00f3n. Deber\u00edamos esperar a la aceptaci\u00f3n o rechazo del manuscrito, y si este fuese rechazado, ya podr\u00edamos prepararlo para enviarlo a otra revista.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2535\" src=\"https:\/\/hacto.umh.es\/files\/2024\/09\/1-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p><p><strong>Bibliograf\u00eda recomendada:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Moore S.
