Research has always been a fundamental
element in the professional training of the
human being; but scientific research
constitutes the panoramic exposition of the
ordered and methodological processes, which
bring us closer to the discovery of a truth
worthy of being communicated and known by
all those who are characterized by the
permanent search for investigative results,
published in the scientific field of the academy.
For this reason, the scientific journal emerges
as the means to be heard, and as the perfect
vehicle to interact between researchers on a
regular basis and exchange their research
achievements.
Rojas and Rivera in 20111, and Mujica-Sequera
in 20202 define a scientific journal as a
publication that has an established periodicity,
with unpublished articles, the product of
research results that are duly refereed by an
editorial committee, and that adheres strictly
to the rules established for publications.
This definition makes it clear that the scientific
journal publishes the knowledge it gathers,
under established standards that guarantee
quality publications. According to CONACYT in
2013, it encourages interaction between
readers, authors, and the editorial team.3
