The first phase takes a maximum of one month, and may derive in an editorial decision or that the manuscript be submitted for peer review; the second, a minimum of two months, and may be extended depending on the specialists' opinions, and the rounds of review and corrections necessary for an editorial recommendation by the editor in charge of the peer review; and the third, when accepted, one to two months depending on demand and volume.
