Publicación de artículos académicos: buenas prácticas y recomendaciones para la redacción y envío a revistas científicas

Abstract

In the current academic context, the publication of research articles in scientific journals has become a requirement, not only to develop an academic career, but also to overcome different postgraduate studies. Despite this, the resources that guide people who must tackle the arduous task of publishing remain scarce. This article aims to contribute to filling this gap. To this end, it presents recommendations and good practices that are useful, mainly -although not exclusively-, to help new researchers to maximize their chances of successfully publishing in a scientific journal. In this way, this work addresses aspects related to: the writing of scientific articles; the selection of appropriate journals for publication; the process of sending the article to scientific journals; the article evaluation process by a scientific journal; and the procedure for responding to the comments of the journal reviewers.
