Articles must be presented in Arial font, size 12, single-spaced, with 3 cm margins on all sides (top, bottom, left, and right), justified.

On the first page, an abstract in Spanish or the article’s original language must be included, with a maximum of 150 words.

Following the abstract, a list of three to five keywords must be provided, preferably selected from the UNESCO Thesaurus (http://databases.unesco.org/thessp/) or another recognized thesaurus. It is recommended to consider terms relevant for search engine optimization (SEO) and reflective of current trends in the subject matter. The journal may suggest adjustments to maximize the article’s visibility.
The abstract, keywords, and title will be translated into English by Revista Inclusiones with the author’s authorization.
The author’s name must not appear in the article.
Author details must be submitted in a separate document, including name, email address, academic degree, institutional affiliation, and ORCID. This document must also indicate the research from which the article originates and how it was funded.

Texts are published in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, but initial submissions in French, Italian, German, and Catalan are accepted. If approved, the author must submit the final version in Spanish, unless they request in writing to publish it in the original language, which Revista Inclusiones will accept provided the procedure is followed.

Article Evaluation. Editorial Process:
1 to 7 Days:
Upon receiving an article, reflection, review, discussion topic, recension, or bibliographic entry, the Editor assesses whether it meets the basic requirements of Revista Inclusiones and its relevance for publication, provided it does not violate the journal’s Ethical Policies.
8 to 30 Days:
Subsequently, all submissions are evaluated by two anonymous referees and reviewed by the Editorial Committee. The referees’ and Editorial Committee’s observations must be addressed by the author, who will make the requested adjustments. These modifications and corrections to the manuscript must be completed by the author(s) within the timeframe indicated by the journal’s editor (approximately fifteen days). After receiving the revised article, the author will be informed of its approval.
31 to 120 Days:
The outcome will be communicated to the author within four months from the receipt of the article, reflection, discussion topic, or recension.
Peer Review:
The Editorial Committee reserves the final decision regarding the publication of articles, reflections, discussion topics, and recensions, as well as the issue in which they will appear. This timeline will be met provided the author submits all requested documentation within the specified timeframe.
Layout:
The journal reserves the right to make minor stylistic corrections. If the author fails to meet the established deadlines, the submitted work will not be published.
During the editing process, authors may be consulted by the editor to address any concerns. Both during evaluation and editing, email is the preferred means of communication with authors, and no other methods will be accepted, which the author acknowledges from this moment.

If an article is to be included in another publication later, the details of its original publication in Revista Inclusiones must be clearly stated, with prior authorization requested from the journal’s Editor.
