Peer Review Process

Manuscripts must be only submitted electronically, via Management System of the magazine http://www.revanestesia.sld.cu

A manuscript receipt will be sent to the corresponding author. The Editorial Board will carry out the first review, within two weeks, to determine the relevance of the topic and whether the manuscript complies with the Publication Standards. In the event that there are essential deficiencies or the manuscript does not address a topic of interest to the journal, it will be rejected. If those deficiencies were only formal, it will be returned to the author for correction before the assessment process begins. The receipt date of the manuscript will start running after the correct receipt of the manuscript.

Subsequently, the article will be submitted to an external blind peer evaluation process (authors do not know the identity of the reviewers and editors mediate all interactions between reviewers and authors) for which a guide will be used, according to the type of article, created for such purposes. Editorials, letters to the editor and event review are except of the external blind peer evaluation process, since they will be assessed and approved by the main editor.

The assessing period will be up to sixty days. In this period, the authors will be noticed on the editorial decision. If the article is returned to the authors to correct the indications, it will consequently require new assessment. The decision of the editorial committee will not take more than 90 days from the last date.

Once the article is ready in HTML format, it will be sent to the corresponding author to check the layout version in the original submission language. Meanwhile, a final review is made by the editorial office.

After the pertinent changes have been done, the article is published in an HTML version in a specific issue of the journal, according to the editorial plan and needs. The PDF version editing process begins, which will be subsequently published.

Acceptance articles for evaluation does not mean this Journal commitment to publish. Once the manuscript is submitted, it cannot be submitted to any other journal or publication source for consideration. The decision not to publish a manuscript is final; however, authors can submit their opinion to the committee.

If for any reason authors do not want to publish their article after having submitted it and in process, they must notice the journal's board in writing in order to avoid an ethical conflict.

Manuscripts can be submitted in Spanish, English or Portuguese. Those manuscripts in Portuguese should have abstracts in Spanish and English.
