Once their evaluation has been completed, the reviewers will send their opinion through the journal's portal. The evaluated article may have one of these three results: publishable, publishable with adjustments, or not publishable. When this is considered publishable with adjustments, the author is informed, who decides whether to commit to making them, and will communicate her/his decision in writing to the Editorial Committee

The authors can get involved in dissemination strategies so that part of the scientific knowledge in their articles is communicated more pleasantly and its understanding and assimilation by a broader public is facilitated.
