Reviewing process

The assessment process of the articles is done by peer reviewers, under a double-blind system, in which authors and evaluators reciprocally ignore their identity and respective institutional affiliation. The editorial team considers the relevance of the material received, notifying the author in a timely manner regarding the acceptance or rejection of the material sent.

1. Reception of the articles through the website rchd.uchile.cl; review by the editor (s), who will estimate their relevance to the subject of the call and compliance with the requirements set forth in the publication rules. Once accepted for peer evaluation, the authors will be informed of the formal reception of the article.

1. Once the deadline for receiving articles has expired, the editors will contact at least two evaluators, who will not have a record of the authors. Also, the author or authors will not know who will review your article.

1. The evaluation will be defined on the basis of the following points:

• Originality of the subject, the approach with which it is approached and the clarity with which the arguments are expressed.
