The editorial review process is typically completed within an average of 3 to 7 days, while each round of single-blind peer academic evaluation is conducted within an average maximum time of 52 days. On their part, authors should not exceed 15 days to make the indicated modifications or provide the requested information as a result of the academic review process. In the case of editorial review, authors will have a maximum of 5 days to submit the requested changes to the editor of the IFE Conference. Failure to meet the deadline or comply with the suggested corrections by the editors or academic reviewers of the IFE Conference will result in the dismissal of the contribution. The editorial decision is final and cannot be appealed.
The academic reviewers who conduct the single-blind peer review process are selected based on academic and scientific parity. As a requirement and in accordance with the Code of Ethics, academic reviewers will not evaluate contributions that have at least one institutional affiliation matching that of the reviewer. The IFE Conference promotes the annual inclusion and openness of the international body of academic reviewers, ensuring plurality in contributing to the disciplinary field of Educational Innovation.
The peer review process is the academic evaluation that certifies that a scientific research contributes to the progress of a disciplinary field, through a well-structured contribution that adheres to ethical best practices. Therefore, the IFE Conference acknowledges the responsibility of a scientific publication and its team to provide a space for scientific communication with rigor and academic integrity.
