Review Process
Manuscripts should be sent for review via e-mail (informes@rlfp.org.ar). Papers are sent to at least two independent referees. RLFP adheres to a ‘double blind’ review process: Authors are unaware of who reviewed their manuscript, and reviewers are not told who wrote it.

Reviewers give their opinion on scientific and formal aspects of the manuscript, and judge it on grounds of originality and pertinence. All relevant information is forwarded to the author.

Reviewers come to one of these four assessments:

1. Accept (no need for any revision)

2. Accept after revision (accepted if the author makes the requested revisions)

3. Revise and resubmit (accepted or rejected after revisions have been made – manuscript will be sent out for another review round)

4. Reject manuscript (if the manuscript is substandard)

Manuscripts may be rejected directly by the Editor if judged to be outside the journal scope or if does not meet minimal scientific or formal requirements.

In case of conflicting reviews the manuscript is sent to a third independent reviewer.

The estimated time for review and publication for each article is 8 to 12 weeks. To facilitate rapid publication, authors are given a maximum of 2 months for revision. After 2 months, revised manuscripts will be considered new submissions.

Authors are not required to pay any article processing charges or article submission charges.
