Editorial

Abstract

Editors and reviewers hope to find articles that are competitive, well written and unique, on the evaluation process for publication. On the other hand, authors believe that when they submit an article to a journal it means they have an almost ready for publication research result in a form of a theoretical and/or practical contribution. But it is not that simple. Many different variables impact in this process, but for sure, the article quality and its contribution to the advancement of the knowledge are key elements on the acceptance for publication in journals around the world. The problem sometimes is that authors look first for impact factors, rather than having an impact with their publication. This should be the consequence of their contribution to science.
