Submissions

Publishing process

The RIDI publishing process is divided into three stages: article submission, peer review, and professional editing. Here are some key aspects of each of these stages.

Submission of articles Mailing. 

Sending. Manuscripts will be sent to the electronic mail: revista.idi@gmail.com, in MS-Word 2003 format or compatible format, according to the guidelines of the instructions for authors. The manuscript can also be sent through the OJS platform of the journal, where the author must be registered.

Documents to formalize the submission. The manuscript will be accompanied by a letter specifying the corresponding author, in which the originality of the manuscript must be confirmed too, specifying that it has not been published in a previous version or by other means, and assumes the commitment not to submit it to another publication simultaneously. The journal provides a letter format, which can be downloaded here.

Editor verification. Once a manuscript has been received, the RIDI Editor will verify that it complies with the requirements established in the instructions for authors and, if everything is correct, an identification code will be assigned to the manuscript, which will be maintained throughout the entire process. In this phase, the editor may consider that the manuscript is not feasible to be submitted to peer evaluation, for reasons related to non-compliance with the journal's rules, coincidence with the thematic spectrum of the journal or due to some inconvenience related to its originality. The editor's decision will be communicated to the authors.

Ethics. RIDI subscribes to the recommendations and good practices (core practices) of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and for this purpose includes within its policy a series of ethical considerations, in the section Statement of ethics and good editorial practices. Any author who decides to submit a manuscript to RIDI must know and understand this section in advance, and must follow the indications or precautions that emerge from there. The violation, or the unresolved suspicion of an ethical dilemma, will lead to the total rejecting of the publication or the process of a submitted manuscript. Finally, in the event that a manuscript is considered viable, after the editorial review, the peer review will begin.
