Editorial Endogamy Policy

The journal implements an active policy to prevent editorial endogamy, in accordance with international best practices and the ethical principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), with the aim of safeguarding 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 articles published, considering the two most recent issues or the most recent calendar year.

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

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