Editing and updating the magazine. A constant dynamic by Manuel Gregorio Loza-Murguia

“…Well, an editorial process has many edges, which only the author of the article in question knows, each journal establishes the so-called editorial policies, which in other words are the steps that a manuscript follows, from its submission to its final edition, a process that is often lengthy, This process is often delayed by the review of experts in the field and the Editorial Board has the means to qualify or rule whether or not a work proceeds with its publication, a situation that sometimes the author or authors need to make minimal changes, regular changes or make a change to the document due to some inconsistencies, or sometimes because the wording is confusing. All these procedures are necessary, as the quality of the product generated in a journal is its reputation at stake, and even more so if the authors are authorities on the subject, and put their research work into consideration in the journal they believe to be relevant, it should be noted that the final edition of a scientific article must comply with these steps, It is also necessary to point out that the session of the journal or area where the article will be published depends on the Editorial Committee. …”
