Editorial
The editorial is a document written by the editor-in-chief or by a guest editor considered pertinent by the editorial team. Its development may obey the presentation of the issue, deal with a topic of interest, analyze a social situation related to the publication or propose emerging issues, among other aspects that have a direct relationship with the journal. The editorial will not be peer-reviewed and will not have an abstract or keywords.
Research article
An unpublished document that presents, in a detailed and organized manner, the complete results of a finalized original research project. Originality is related to the dissemination of new knowledge or to the explanation of its contribution. Unpublished refers to the fact that it has not been published or made known to a community by any means (printed or electronic). It presents its final results in complete detail (not partial), i.e., it provides enough information to be reproduced by other researchers. Organized information means that the document follows a logical presentation (it is structured). This type of article follows the following structure: abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion and conclusions (AIM-RD&C).
Review article
A scientific or technical document that compiles, systematizes and analyzes the published literature on a given topic to provide answers to specific problems (Cué Brugueras et al., 2008). Its strength lies in the critical analysis of the available literature, using systematic methods to arrive at results that can be replicated. Unlike the research article, this type of article reviews a larger proportion of references (doubling or tripling its quantity).
Reflection article
Scientific or technical document that analyzes research results from an analytical, interpretative and critical perspective. The reflection is focused on a specific issue, of interest and topicality. Although it is based on a particular (author) or collective (group of authors) position, it must be based on evidence, argued and presented in a clear and organized manner, in such a way that it achieves thematic mastery, soundness in the exposition of arguments and orientation to new ideas or perspectives. A reflection article is presented by a researcher with experience in the subject and who has focused on it for a large part of his or her research career. Their position must be well justified and have clear consequences that can be derived from their opinions.
Book Reviews
A document of short length that makes a commentary or reflection on a book published in relation to the thematic area of the journal. This document discusses the objective and the contributions it has to the public and makes a critical analysis of the subject matter and its current relevance. It also mentions the importance and relevance for its disciplinary area and gives recommendations to readers. This section will not be peer reviewed and will not have an abstract or keywords.
