Once the evaluation is reviewed, the acceptance or rejection is defined.
Depending on the determination, editorial coordination proceeds to:
Communicate to the author or authors the acceptance of the article and initiate the processing of the text for its publication.

When the peer evaluators -double blind- give the concept that an article can be published, however, it is necessary to adapt it, the coordination sends the format to the author without the data of the evaluator so that the appropriate adjustments are made.
If the article is accepted after the adjustments, the author or authors sign a letter of assignment of rights to the journal to allow its publication, where also, That the article is an original work in the sense in which it is derived from work investigative or of an own intellectual activity; that the bibliographic sources have been contrasted so as not to fall into false information that usually circulates in social networks and internet pages, among others.
