Its main goal is to disseminate and discuss advances in research and development in the different areas of Engineering and Technology through the publication of original unpublished papers with local or international coverage.The intended audience of the Journal is the academic community, researchers, graduates, productive sectors and in general the public interested in all engineering disciplines.

Peer Review Process

The article review process begins with a review by the Editorial Committee, which assesses that the manuscript is a good fit for the themes of the journal and validates its content and relevance. If the response of the Editorial Committee is not favorable, the authors will be informed that the article is rejected because of the arguments described in the review form; if the article is accepted by the Committee, it will be sent for evaluation.

Subsequently, the article will undergo double-blind peer review. The reviewers, who are experts in the field and preferably external, should submit the report to the editor within four weeks. The Editorial Committee will make some of the following decisions based on the report submitted by the reviewers:

Accept in its present form, Accept with minor revisions by the authors, Accept with major revisions by the authors, and Reject.

 If the manuscript is accepted with minor or major revisions, the authors will be notified of the reviewers’ comments and recommendations and the deadline for revisions. They should submit the new version of the manuscript (the changes should be highlighted) with a letter explaining the revisions made to each of the reviewers’ comments. Then the Editorial Committee will verify in the explanatory letter that the authors have accepted each recommendation; the Editorial Committee will submit the new version of the manuscript for a second round of peer review if considered necessary. It is important to mention that the final decision regarding manuscript publication will be subject to the completion of the revision process and to the guidelines considered by the Editorial Committee of the journal.

The articles submitted to the INGENIERÍA Journal should be unpublished. Articles previously published or submitted by the authors to other national or international media for publication shall not be published.
