4. Preservation of the contents. Editorial process.

The journal accepts manuscripts through the Open Journal System (OJS) platform. In order to maintain the anonymity and transparency of the editorial process, the manuscript must be submitted anonymously, the names of the authors and their affiliation will be sent in a different document, which will be used if the article is approved.
The editors will carry out a first formal and anti-plagiarism review of the manuscripts received, using the Turnitin tool to reveal textural copies of the resources from the internet. In the following 7 days, the editor will inform the authors if the manuscript has been accepted to start the evaluation process, or if it has been rejected.
In the evaluation stage, which lasts 60 days on average, the editor invites the referees who will evaluate the manuscript. The referees' feedback from the authors will last on average 15 days per evaluation round and may require several iterations to make the modifications indicated. At the end of the evaluation process, the editors will issue the final decision and an email of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the authors.
From this moment, the article is considered accepted and they can request a certificate from the editor. In the following 7 days, the style correction and layout process of the articles will be carried out to be included in the publication's website.
Anales de Investigación en Arquitectura is a journal of continuous publication; all accepted articles are immediately added to the website, in order to be quickly visible and citable.

The journal Anales de Investigación en Arquitectura preserves the authors' rights, which are adopted by the Editorial Committee for publication. The authors declare that the work presented has not been published in any scientific journal or monograph.

Violation of editorial ethics

Anales de Investigación en Arquitectura promotes the dissemination of unpublished research content in the areas of Architecture, Urbanism, Landscaping and Sustainability. The journal maintains a strict control over compliance with editorial ethics, as well as with the assessments indicated by external evaluators.
Hence, and in accordance with what is established by COPE, the journal follows the protocol that coincides with the alleged offense investigated, which in general terms implies:
  • Detection of the violation and communication to the author/s.
  • Notify the editorial and scientific committee about the receipt of a complaint through the journal's usual channels (emails or messages on social networks).
  • Preparation of a report by the Editorial Committee.
  • Urgent meeting between the members of the Scientific and Editorial Committee, in which the case will be evaluated and the measures to be followed will be considered.
The editors will be responsible for the application of measures determined by the Committee. If the lack of ethics is proven, the article will be rejected and if it was already published, the article will be withdrawn from publication and a retraction will be made. Consequently, the authors will not be able to publish again in the journal.
