The objective of the Portal de la Ciencia Journal is to promote scientific research and its dissemination through the publication of unpublished and highly original articles in the fields of biology, physics, mathematics, and microbiology, as well as related areas. The journal seeks to disseminate scientific knowledge in an accessible and open manner, contributing to academic and scientific development at both the national and international levels.
The journal focuses on the publication of original research that contributes new knowledge or approaches in the natural and exact sciences. Through a rigorous peer-review process, it ensures the scientific quality of its articles, promoting innovation and the advancement of knowledge in key disciplines such as biology, physics, mathematics, and microbiology. In addition, the journal promotes open access to its content in order to democratize access to science and contribute to global dialogue in these areas.
The journal is published semiannually, in June and December.
The Portal de la Ciencia Journal accepts the following types of articles for publication, all of which are subject to a rigorous peer-review process:
Original Research Articles
Publications that present unpublished results of scientific research in the fields of biology, physics, mathematics, microbiology, and related areas. These articles must have a high degree of originality and contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge in their field.
Review Articles
Studies that synthesize and critically analyze the current state of knowledge on a specific topic. These articles must provide an overview of the most recent research, identify trends, and highlight possible future directions in the fields covered by the journal.
Scientific Notes
Brief reports of preliminary results or scientific discoveries that, although they do not constitute a complete study, are of interest and relevance to the scientific community. These notes must be concise while containing sufficient methodological rigor to be properly evaluated.
Technical Articles
Manuscripts that present technical developments or methodological innovations applicable to scientific research in the fields covered by the journal. These articles must show how the tools or techniques described improve research or analysis processes.
Book and Conference Reviews
Critiques or summaries of recent academic books or relevant scientific conferences in the areas of biology, physics, mathematics, and microbiology. These reviews must provide a critical evaluation of the work or event, emphasizing its impact on the scientific community.
Each type of article aims to contribute to the exchange of knowledge among researchers and academics, promoting the continuous development of the natural and exact sciences.
Manuscripts submitted to the Portal de la Ciencia Journal must be original works that have not been previously published or simultaneously submitted to other scientific journals. During the peer-review process, authors agree not to submit their manuscripts to other publications until they receive the journal’s final decision.
The Portal de la Ciencia Journal bases manuscript acceptance on criteria of scientific quality, originality, thematic relevance, and importance to its audience. All manuscripts undergo an editorial process that includes preliminary evaluation, similarity review, external peer review, and a final editorial decision.
The journal uses an external double-blind peer-review system. Reviewers are specialists in the thematic area of the manuscript, external to the Editorial Committee, and evaluate submissions using a form or rubric established by the journal.
The editorial process includes the following stages:
The journal may publish general editorial statistics annually, including the number of manuscripts received, accepted, and rejected, as well as average evaluation times. It may also publish an annual list of reviewers, with their consent, and will make visible the evaluation form or rubric used in the review process.
The Portal de la Ciencia Journal provides free and open access to all published manuscripts, based on the principle that open access to scientific research promotes greater global exchange of knowledge. Articles published in the journal are available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0). This permits the non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction of content in any format, without restrictions, provided that the authors and original source are properly credited.
Copyright for articles published in the Portal de la Ciencia Journal remains with the authors. In addition, publication in the journal is completely free of charge, reinforcing the journal’s commitment to accessibility and the dissemination of scientific knowledge without economic barriers for authors or readers.
