Closing Editorial Note

Abstract

We are grateful to our contributor authors for choosing Superficies y Vacío to disseminate their research results, as well as the selfless contribution of the peers who accepted to review the received manuscripts, helping to keep a high-quality standard for the articles that we publish. We hope for both communities to grow further in the times to come.

We are pleased to highlight the integration of some updates to our publishing process: registration of Digital Object Identifier (DOI), through CrossRef, along with automatic registration to the authors’ Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), within an Open Journal Systems (OJS) editorial platform; and to the print format of the published articles, keeping our usual author grouping by institution, and adding the standard ordered authorship list below the title. We also transitioned our review process from single- to double-blind. And have been fulfilling a self-imposed ‘1.5 weeks’ deadline for a first answer with recommendations from a member of the editorial board, which is successfully reducing the time span of our peer review process.
