4. Book reviews will be devoted to/or consist of analysis of relevant texts, linked to the thematic areas covered by the journal, posts in relation to the same analysis with another recent book (3 years maximum since its first edition, or the edition that incurs in analysis) or classic on the subject. They will be short and analytical texts with a title, the main hypotheses and contributions that the book provides to scientific knowledge. The full title of the analyzed book, its authors/s, publisher, year of publication and number of pages should be indicated. The titles will be placed in capital letters, bold and without underlining. The subtitles, in lowercase and bold, without underlining, without italics and without end point.
5. The debates will consist of comments or responses to articles published in the journal, or in another journal, an analysis of topics of national or international agenda, or contributions made by several authors who discuss the same issue belonging to some of the disciplines proposed by Revista Pares (Political Science, Law, Philosophy, History, International Relations and Sociology) or others related to the Social Sciences.
6. Articles, research advances, book reviews, debates, interviews and translations should be accompanied by a summary in Spanish, Portuguese and English of 150 to 200 words, in a single paragraph and without indentation.

Bibliographic citations not specified in the above list must conform to the international standard APA, 3rd edition in Spanish of the 6th edition in English.
11. The Editorial Board shall reserve the right to assess the relevance of the works received, considering the profile of the publication, as well as their conformity with editorial standards. The mere submission of manuscripts does not ensure publication in the journal. After going through the verification of the Editorial Committee, the works will be sent to two external evaluators (blind peers), selected according to the topic of each work by the Editorial Committee. The identities of the reviewers will not be revealed to the authors. In addition, the evaluation procedures will always be public on the journal’s website. Peer Review ensures independent peer review, seeking appropriate academic profiles for each case, and ensuring academic relevance, diversity of countries and regions, and adherence to ethical criteria in scientific publications. The results obtained after the referral process (See evaluation sheet) will be final and the opinions will be constituted in four possible ways: direct acceptance of the article, acceptance conditional on the introduction of minor modifications (the second version of the work, will be reviewed by the Editorial Committee), acceptance conditional on the introduction of substantial modifications (the second version of the work, returns to the evaluators), and not acceptance (rejected). In case of disparity in the evaluation opinions on the acceptance and rejection of a work, the Editorial Committee will resort to a third evaluator, whose verdict will be decisive.
12. The Editorial Board shall, by sending an e-mail, confirm to the authors the receipt of their proposals and the outcome of the evaluation. In the event that the reviewers indicate the need to make modifications in a work, the authors will be notified by the same way, who will have a deadline to make them, no more than 10 days, for minor corrections, and 20 days, for substantial corrections. The Editorial Board may decide on longer deadlines in cases of substantial corrections that require greater dedication. They must then forward the corrected work. No additions or modifications will be accepted once the editing process has begun. The Editorial Board reserves the right to make any style corrections it deems appropriate.
13. The evaluation process shall last approximately five months.
14. The Editorial Board shall in no way disseminate works that are not accepted.
15. The submission of papers implies the full acceptance by the authors of the aforementioned rules and conditions, as well as the acceptance of the publication of the work on the website of the journal.
16. In Peer Review, all instances, from the submission of papers, evaluation and publication, are free, contributing to open access, open science and the scientific and academic development of our region. Likewise, the authors of the manuscripts sent will not receive any payment for the publication of their article.
17. The publication of works shall be subject to the order of arrival and evaluation of the work, as well as to relevant editorial decisions.
18. Work which does not comply with the above rules shall be returned.
