Document similarity is verified through Turnitin Similary Check software. If any article does not satisfy this first review, it will be returned to the authors for adjustment and subsequent submission.

Regarding the evaluation process, the Editor first ensures that the articles meet the established requirements for authors. Once this is confirmed, the article is sent to two experts in the relevant field of knowledge for peer review. The anonymity of both the authors and reviewers is maintained.Regarding the evaluation process, the Editor first ensures that the articles meet the established requirements for authors.

Point is written after the end of the sentence that includes the quotation and all the data, otherwise continue the sentence after the parentheses.

Indirect Appointments or Paraphrase. In the paraphrase quote the ideas of an author are used, but in the writer's own words. In this quotation it is necessary to include the author's last name and the year of publication. It may also vary according to the emphasis made.

If the sentence includes the author's last name, only the date is written in parentheses. Example:

Viadero (2007) reports that an analysis of more than two hundred studies shows the correlation between the teaching of social skills and the improvement of school performance.

If the author is not included in the sentence, the last name and date are written in parentheses. Example:

An analysis of more than two hundred studies shows the correlation between the teaching of social skills and the improvement of school performance (Viadero, 2007).

If the work has more than two authors, the first time is cited with all last names. In subsequent mentions, only the last name of the first author is written, followed by the phrase et al.

Example:

The term emotional intelligence was first used by Salovey and Mayer in 1990 (Álvarez Manilla, Valdés Krieg & Curiel de Valdés, 2006).

Regarding school performance, Álvarez Manilla et al. (2006) found that emotional intelligence does not affect it.

If there are more than six authors, et al. from the first mention
