Cuadernos de investigación subscribes to the IE University Code of Ethical Conduct (https://www.ie.edu/es/ie-codigo-etico/ie-codigo-etico/), and the Committee on Publication Ethics-COPE Code of Conduct and the Best Practices Guidelines for Journals Editors (https://publicationethics.org/core-practices), of institutional and international scope, respectively. According to these criteria, original and unpublished manuscripts will be the object of publication only if they comply with the research ethic guidelines specified in the previous codes. To test the validity and originality of a paper, an antiplagiarism software tool (Turnitin) checks it. Afterwards, an external process review starts choosing peers from their accepted solvency criteria in the issue and their impartiality with the author and the content paper. The arbitration system employs a double-blind peer review, where the author(s) and the reviewer ignore their identities. Once the review process finishes, the author(s) will know the conclusions through the Editorial secretary. All originals that will not comply with the presentation guidelines or those not adjusted to journal quality demands, determined by the external review and the Editorial Board, will be rejected and returned to the author(s). Finalizado el proceso de evaluación se contactará con los autores del trabajo, informando de sus conclusiones a través de la Secretaría de la editorial. Tanto los originales que no cumplan las normas de presentación como los que no se ajusten a las exigencias de calidad determinadas por la revisión externa y el Consejo de Redacción serán desestimados y devueltos a sus autores. For those manuscripts accepted, the Executive Editorial Board reserves the right to publish, or not, submitted works and their partial or total reproduction, understanding that their content exclusively represents the author(s)’ personal opinion.
