Editorial Endogamy Policy

The journal implements an active policy to prevent editorial endogamy, in line with international best practices and the ethical principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), in order to safeguard editorial independence, academic diversity, and transparency in the publication process.

The participation of authors affiliated with the editorial team, academic committees, or the publishing institution shall not exceed 20% of the total number of articles published, considering the two most recent issues or the last calendar year.

Manuscripts submitted by members of the editorial team will be evaluated exclusively through a double-blind peer review process, managed by external editors and reviewers with no conflicts of interest, without any involvement of such authors at any stage of the editorial process.

Through this policy, the journal reaffirms its commitment to editorial ethics, academic plurality, and scientific quality.
