General

Authors to publish must register in the digital identifier Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID). The ORCID is an open, non-profit, community-based initiative that offers a system for the unambiguous identification of researchers and a clear method for linking research activities and their productions to these identifiers. Obtaining the ORCID is free; for this, you can access the following link: https://orcid.org/signin.
It is a requirement for the author in the ORCID identifier, to indicate titles obtained, email and affiliations to which he/she belongs.
The number of authors allowed in the journal for articles and research advances will be 2 authors. Per extra author $150 USD each (up to 2 additional authors allowed).
The products will be submitted to the arbitration process in digital form, through the Open Journal Systems system administered by the Aula Virtual Foundation, which is free software for the management and publication of journals; developed, supported and freely distributed by the Public Knowledge Project under the GNU General Public License.
