Institutional Endogeny Limits & Peer Review Call
Institutional Endogeny Limits
Entropía Educativa Journal maintains a firm commitment to the diversity, quality, and scientific rigor of its publications. In order to avoid institutional endogeny, it is established that the percentage of published articles whose authors (or coauthors) have a direct institutional affiliation with the publishing entity (Entropía Educativa) will not exceed 20% per edited volume or issue. The remaining 80% or more of the manuscripts will correspond to external international authors and authors from other national and global institutions.
Call for External Peer Reviewers
The journal maintains a permanent open call for the incorporation of Ibero-American and international researchers, doctors, and academics into the body of referees (External Peer Reviewers). Those interested in acting as external evaluators under the double-blind system must have an active ORCID registry and a verifiable history of publications in the fields of education, pedagogy, or social sciences. To apply, please register as a reviewer in the platform and send your curriculum vitae highlighting your main research lines to: revista@entropiaeducativa.org.
