Authorship

Only works submitted with the proper authorisation of the institution where they were made will be published. The authors must attach the document of Declaration of authorship signed by each author where they express the originality of the work, which has not been published in another medium, that has not been submitted to review in parallel to another means of publication, which all authors have contributed to the elaboration of the article and that there are conflicts of interest or conflict of intellectual property with the information embodied in the article. It is the sole responsibility of the authors to include and/or send content that may be considered restricted or confidential by the institutions to which they have been assigned. Authorship It is limited to those who have contributed substantially to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the investigation. Everyone who has contributed in this way should be listed as co-authors. The authors should carefully consider the list and order of the authors before signing the manuscript. Any change can be considered at the author's request for correspondence, with the rationale, approval of all authors (initial, added, or removed), sent before acceptance of the manuscript, and approved by the Editorial Board.

Article review process

The members of the International Scientific Committee, the review committee, will use the following form for the review of all articles submitted on the platform. This form will be sent to the authors so that they can correct their submissions before moving on to the publication phase.

Structure of the manuscripts

All the materials to be published will have:

1. Title in Spanish and English.

2. Full names of the authors and institutional affiliations. ORCID code. The full name of the institution, and postal address, including telephone and email, should always be indicated. Point to the author for correspondence with an asterisk (*). Use super numerical indexes at the end of full names to distinguish authors with different institutional affiliations. Set up a list of institutional affiliations in a separate paragraph below the list of authors.

3. A summary in Spanish and English will be included, with an extension of 200 to 250 words and between 3 and 5 keywords in both languages. Pages should be numbered in the lower right corner.

4. Keywords: 3 to 5 terms are accepted and should be general, plural, and include multiple concepts. Avoid the use of abbreviations, except if they were firmly employed in the field of research addressed in the manuscript. Keywords are essential for indexing the manuscript. Those manuscripts that use The ACM Computing Classification System (CCS) for such classification will be welcome.

Do not use unnecessary abbreviations or acronyms, when they appear for the first time they must be accompanied by their meaning. The International Measurement System and the comma (,) will use in the numbers. Tables and figures should be inserted into the body of the text and preferably in vector formats. Images should be at least 531 x 1328 pixels (length by width) using a minimum resolution of 300 dpi If using a long image, it must be proportional to 200 high x 500 wide. Images must count that proportion when scaled. The types of files to export the images preferably in this order of acceptance: .SVG, .EPS, .TIFF, .PNG.

The title of the figures will be placed at the bottom using Times New Roman at 10 points, with sequential numbering according to the order in which they appear in the work. If texts are included, the same language as in the contribution will be used. The sources accepted inside the figures are Times, Arial, Courier, or Symbol, with a large size that allows the readability of the font and can be reduced in size for a table of contents.

References

In the body of the article, references should be cited according to the IEEE style manual. Following the quoted phrase, sequential numbering is used within square brackets, after space, on the same line of text, and before any punctuation. Each number corresponds to a reference that contains information from the cited source. Appointments are numbered in the order in which they appear. Once a source has been cited, the same number is used in all subsequent references in the report. No distinction is made between electronic and printed sources, except in the reference details of the citation.

Examples:

• “. . .end of the line for my research [13].”
• “The theory was formulated for the first time in 1987 [1].”
• “Scholtz [2] has suggested …
• “By example, see [7].”
• “Several studies [3, 4, 15, 22] have suggested that …”

It is not necessary to write "in reference [2]". Simply write "in [2]". The preferred method of citing more than one source at a time is to list each reference in its square brackets, then separate them with a comma or hyphen: [1], [3], [5] or [1] - [5]

The following examples show the format for various electronic and print sources. These quotes are the most used. The complete list can be found at http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/IEEE-Reference-Guide.pdf.
