Editorial policy:

  • The editorial board reserves the right to reject any article, without peer review, that does not correspond to the journal's focus. Selected articles are double-blind reviewed by members of the scientific committee and/or a professional with expertise in the subject area. Reviewers' comments are forwarded to the authors. Articles will only be accepted for publication if they take into account the reviewers' comments. Any article submitted by an author automatically implies their agreement to its publication in VSE in print and digital formats.
  • The author(s) certify(s) that the proposed article is the result of individual or collective work and that the sources used are explicitly referenced in the bibliography appended to the article. The author(s) certify(s) that the article presented has not been submitted or will not be submitted in its current form to other publishers.

Proofs of articles:

  • The final proofs will be sent to the corresponding author for correction. The author must return the proofs within 15 days of receipt to avoid any delay in the preparation of the digital edition of the article.
