  • Open authors: at least 50% of the articles published come from authors external to the editorial entity.

  • Selection of originals: The system of assessment consists in sending the original along with an evaluation form maintaining anonymity to two revisers from the editorial board, keeping to the double blind system; that is, the assessor ignores the name and origin of the author, and criticism (if any) will be presented to the author anonymously. 

  • Within 60 days the author will be informed if his/her article has been accepted, rejected, or accepted with modifications.

AUTHOR'S RIGTHS:


  • Originality: All published articles must be original and previously unedited. Publication in the Journal of Transpersonal Research results in the author receiving the copyright for the article.

  • Responsibility: The opinions and content of the articles published in the Journal are exclusively the responsibility of the authors, and as such the authors are responsible for obtaining the corresponding permission to include material from any other publication.

  • Intellectual property: The subject generator of the rights of Intellectual Property is the author, utilizing their intellectual activity to transform thoughts, possibilities, perceptions and ideas into specific work, acquiring by this creative act the ownership of the set of moral and patrimonial rights established by the laws that regulate Intellectual Property (Royal Legislative Decree 1/96, 12 April, Consolidated Text from the Law of Intellectual Property).
