We aim to respond to the needs of our readers and authors in such a way that we ensure the quality of their publications by respecting their content in each article and protecting their material.

In order to ensure this quality, we make a selection of articles that are reviewed anonymously by external peer reviewers. In addition to the confidentiality of our authors' and reviewers' data throughout the manuscript review process, we also make clear our commitment to confidentiality.

We also make clear our commitment to confidentiality in the event of possible claims or complaints that reach the different committees of the journal.
