^{Peer Review Process}

^{All research articles published in this journal have undergone a rigorous double-blind peer review, based on an initial selection of editors and an anonymous referee by two anonymous referees. The reviewers will issue a reasoned report on the originals received which will be sent by mail to the authors. When the reviewers recommend the publication of an article provided the author incorporates the improvements indicated, the editorial board will set a delivery deadline for the new version.}

^{In this process the communication can be (1) that the article is rejected especially when it does not conform to the editorial policy of the journal or does not meet the submission requirements; (2) that the article is accepted without modifications; and (3) that the article is accepted with the modifications indicated by the reviewers.}

^{Publication Frequency}

^{Until 2018, on the w@terfront has experimented with different formats, tending to publish individual articles with a somewhat irregular frequency.}

^{Since 2018 on the w@terfront has adopted the publication of a single volume per year. This volume is split between 8 and 13 issues per year. Each issue can contain between 1 and 4 articles.}

^{Articles will be published in order of their arrival and reception of possible corrections to them.}

^{Approved by the Executive Council on 8 February 2016. Ratified by the Governing Council on 16 April 2016.}

^{The University of Barcelona has taken as a reference the Code of Conduct and good practices for publishers of scientific journals defined by the Committee of Ethics of Publications (COPE).}

^{The University of Barcelona promotes the open access publication of digital journals and endeavours to guarantee quality and conscientiousness in the transfer of scientific knowledge. The University is committed to ensuring that the articles it publishes and the publishing process itself observe the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). It is therefore essential that all of the stakeholders in this process—journal editors, reviewers, technical editors and authors—know and act according to the Code.}

^{Journal editors should}

^{ensure that the decision to publish is not dependent on the author’s race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic origin, country of origin, citizenship or political persuasion;}
^{publish regular updates on the responsibilities of authors, submission requirements, the arbitration system used to select the articles and the evaluation criteria to be applied by reviewers;}
^{publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when needed and not make use of any article received for UB-specific research assignments without the author’s consent;}
^{guarantee confidentiality during the review process, meaning (a) the anonymity of reviewers and authors and the confidentiality of the content of the articles, the reports submitted by reviewers and any other type of correspondence with or between the editorial, consultant and scientific committees and (b) confidentiality in the correspondence between the author and the journal committees or reviewers when the author wishes to clarify, change or complain about some aspect of the article;}
^{make certain that the integrity of articles already published is respected;}
^{act swiftly to eliminate from the journal or refuse to publish any article that has been found to plagiarise information from other sources.}

^{apply revisions that are objective, informed, critical, constructive and unbiased, where acceptance or rejection is based only on the work’s relevance, originality, interest to the public in question and compliance with the style and content regulations in the evaluation criteria;}
^{meet deadlines when this is possible and promptly inform the journal editor when it is not;}
^{avoid sharing, spreading or reproducing any information from articles still under review without permission from the corresponding journal editors or authors}
