The Anuario del Centro de Investigación y Estudios Políticos guarantees that:

• All published research articles are original, unpublished, and have undergone rigorous peer evaluation by academic specialists in the field.
• This academic journal will not accept manuscripts that have been published, in whole or in part, in other academic publications, nor those currently under consideration by other journals.
• Articles with prior knowledge of ethical or legal violations as established by the scientific community will not be published. The journal is committed to publishing corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when necessary.
• As a requirement for each article submission, the Anuario requests a cover letter in which the authors guarantee the originality of the article, disclose potential conflicts of interest, explain the sources of funding, and indicate if the research originated from a research project, thesis, or previous articles.
• The Editorial Board's decision to accept or reject articles will be based on the article's importance, originality, clarity, validity, and relevance. All decisions will be based on the evaluations received, and final approval of articles will not be reversed unless there are major issues (e.g., lack of clarity, authorship disputes, plagiarism, violation of ethical standards in data collection, processing, and presentation, etc.). Detailed information about the publication process is provided on this page and in our Publication Guidelines to guide authors.
• The Anuario editorial team provides guidance to reviewers through the section Instructions for Reviewers, including expectations for their reports and ethical guarantees for handling the manuscript.
• The journal will ensure that all received manuscripts are managed confidentially until publication. Reviewers are expected to maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript and the information it contains, to inform the editorial team about the manuscript’s originality, and to report any ethical issues in the design and presentation of the research.
• The Anuario del Centro de Investigación y Estudios Políticos evaluates the performance of reviewers and avoids repeated use of those producing poor-quality evaluations.

As an internal rule, individuals holding positions in Direction, Academic and Technical Editing, and Editorial Assistance are not allowed to publish in the Anuario. Members of the Editorial Board and the Advisory Board are permitted to publish, but in these cases, compliance with all ethical principles outlined here and in the Plagiarism Detection Policy will be ensured. Final approval of articles submitted by Editorial Board members will be based on external peer reviews. If the author is part of the Editorial Board, they will recuse themselves from decisions regarding the publication of their article.

This journal is part of the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Políticos, but its editorial line is independent of this entity. All decisions made by the editorial team aim to ensure the academic quality and intellectual contribution of the journal. The Editorial Board members will meet at least every two months to monitor internal and external journal matters, issue final decisions on articles and other published materials, evaluate proposals for thematic issues, and define actions to improve the journal in terms of academic quality, editorial innovation, and publication efficiency. Editorial Board and Advisory Board members will act as promoters of the journal and will constantly encourage manuscript submissions to this academic journal.
