Peer Review Process

 

The articles submitted are subjected to a double-blind peer review process where neither the reviewer nor the author have any data that allows them to identify themselves. The author is informed of the decision of the Editorial Committee once the evaluation period has concluded.

The final decision on the publication of the manuscript corresponds to the Editorial Committee, regardless of the decision of the arbitrators.

 

Review process

Once the manuscript is registered, it goes to the review or arbitration process, in which the following is taken into account:

−        The Editorial Committee will be responsible of the arbitration group or the reviewers.

−        Arbitrators will conform to the arbitration regulations adopted by the journal, grounded on the arbitration guide.

−        Two specialized arbitrators will be appointed, according to the subject that the manuscript deals with.

−        The double-blind review will be carried out.

−        If the arbitrators do not agree on their criteria, a third party will be appointed.

−        A form will be used where the criteria and arguments of the arbitration are registered. This constitutes the arbitration guide.

−        The manuscript must be evaluated and its results recorded in the space reserved for that purpose within 60 days.

Once the result of the review has been received, the arbitrators´ s suggestions will be reconciled.

The Editorial Committee will take the corresponding decision.

The corresponding author will be informed by email of the results of the review, which may be:

−        Accept submission. In this case, manuscripts go to the editing and publishing process

−        Publishable with modifications. In this case, authors will have 30 days to to prepare a new version, taking into account the recommendations of the review process and register it with the same ID.

−        Once registered, manuscripts will go through the review process again. If after 30 days the corrected papers are not received, the Editorial Committee can make the decision to extend the date for another 30 days, or archive them. This decision will always be informed to the corresponding authors by email. If the articles are archived and the authors still desire to publish in the journal, they must register the papers as new manuscripts and notify the editor in the space corresponding to the first step of the registration, explaining that it is a second version of the paper whose title is recorded.

−        Re-evaluable. In this case, the main author is notified by email of the review considerations and that the manuscript will be archived. It will be clarified that if they still want to publish the paper in the journal, they must register it as a new submission, commenting to the editor in the corresponding space of the first step of the registration, that it is due to a new version of the work whose title is consigned.

−        Not publishable. When the work does not meet formatting requirements, its content does not belong to the scope of the journal or the subject is not of interest. It is recommended to look for another journal related to such topic.

Plagiarism detection policy

 

The Cuban Journal of Higher Medical Education has a plagiarism detection policy, which aims to ensure that authors comply with the necessary ethical standards to ensure a process of transparency in the publication process.
The similarity detection process is performed by journal Editors using StrikePlagiarism system, and can be performed at any stage of the editorial process. When plagiarism is detected, it is rejected immediately and the authors and institution are informed of the situation.
In the same way, reviewers are asked, during the evaluation stage, to inform if they detect any form considered plagiarism in the manuscript.
