Presentation: The relevant role of peer reviewers

Abstract

There is an inconspicuous work but essential in the editorial process of scientific journals and it is done by referees or peer reviewers. They with their attentive and judicious reading, and with their expertise in the subject, collaborate in the qualification of the articles that are accepted and in the recommendations that are made to the authors whose writings are rejected in favor to improve and increase their possibilities of publication or rethink the study made in order to make an original contribution to the academic community redefining the problem, its scope, methodology, in short ... In this sense, the reviewers are a great support for the publications, because with their disciplined work they serve as advisers to take the decisions aimed to the disclosure of the investigations with those criteria of originality, relevance and quality. To the reviewers who have participated in this issue and in the previous ones, we would like to make a recognition and thank them for the commitment which they have undertaken this academic and collaborative task. © Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales.
