Author Guidelines

Authors may choose between two publication modalities at this conference: (1) articles in English for publication in the IOP Conference Series (indexed in Scopus & Web of Science), or (2) articles in Spanish for publication in a book with an open access ISBN. It is essential that authors select the desired modality at the time of submission and follow the official templates as appropriate.

All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which experts will evaluate the originality, methodological rigor, clarity, and scientific contribution of the work. As a result of the evaluation, articles may be accepted without changes, accepted with modifications, or rejected. If corrections are required, authors must submit them within the established deadline.

Authors are responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions for the publication of images, data, and materials included in the manuscript. If the research involves living beings (humans or animals), it must be approved by an ethics committee. It is recommended to ensure that the study is well structured and that the title and abstract are clear and precise. Once the article meets these requirements, authors can proceed with the submission following the corresponding checklist.
