Peer Review Process

Boletín Geológico y Minero will confirm receipt of all original manuscripts received.

The Editorial Board may reject an article without external evaluation (desk-rejection) if it does not adhere rigorously to the guidelines, both formal and regarding content, or if its contents do not fall within the scope of the journal.

After this preliminary analysis, all articles will be sent out to external peer-review following a double-blind peer-review process in which at least two external referees will participate, appealing to as many additional parties as necessary. External referees should be prestigious researchers specialized in the subject. The anonymity of both the author and the reviewers will be maintained, however, the lists of external reviewers who have collaborated with the journal in previous years will be published periodically, with prior authorization.

Authors will be notified on the acceptance or definitive rejection of the article, as well as on the changes that should be applied before acceptance.

Dates of receipt, approval and publication will be indicated in each published article.

The Editorial Board, attending the external reports, will be in charge of making the decision on whether to reject, request changes, or accept each article.
