Politics

Peer Review Process

The article evaluation process is carried out using the "peer review" system where each article is submitted to the consideration of two or more arbitrators who issue their verdict.

The editorial committee is responsible for the final decision of the publication of the manuscript, regardless of the decision of the referees.

REVIEW GUIDELINES (Download)

INFODIR, the Journal of Information for Health Managers, uses the double-blind peer review of articles, having a maximum of 60 days to issue its opinion or review report. Only the Editorial and Special Sections do not go through the peer review. All articles submitted to arbitration are treated with the confidentiality of the case. Thus, peer reviewers must communicate any conflict of interest when responding to an invitation to review a manuscript, as well as when presenting the results of the review of the manuscript. In cases of conflict of interest, such as when the reviewer has recently collaborated with the author at the same institution, or when the reviewer is in direct competition with the author, the reviewers cannot review the author's manuscript.

INFODIR, the Journal of Information for Health Professionals, reserves the right to apply Open Peer Review (OPR) when it considers it useful.

ARBITRATORS' REQUIREMENTS:

•  The arbitration group or reviewers will be the responsibility of the Editorial Committee of the Journal Información para Directivos de la Salud. INFODIR.
•  The body of referees of the journal will be selected by the Editorial Committee and submitted to the consensus of the Editorial Board of the journal.
•  For its selection, the journal may invite or summon to take part of the arbitration body those health professionals, specialists and scientists who are recognized for their expertise in modern forms, methods and techniques of management, demonstrated in the management of administration,  teaching and research, as well as for their application in the development of management thinking in health.
•  The referees must study and consider the guidelines for authors of the journal and carry out a rigorous evaluation in the time established for this, issuing the opinion or review report in the format established for this purpose.

This journal has in mind when making a request for evaluation that, the quality of the articles and of the journal depends largely on the quality and rigor with which the review and evaluation process of the submitted works is carried out. This rigor and responsibility is what allows us to achieve the prestige and recognition of the readers and to reach better indexes that accredit it.

For this reason, the time and experience dedicated to the evaluation are recognized as a contribution to the diffusion of scientific work in the field of health management in Cuba and the world. Especially because it is an unpaid review work, a free procedure used by most of the main international journals.

Consequently, every reviewer, when concluding his work, will receive from the magazine Información para Directivos de la Salud INFODIR, a certificate that accredits the work done; as well as, a public recognition of the referees' contributions will be published in the last issue of the year so that they can be used as scientific evidence in the evaluation processes of their teaching-research work.

REVIEW PROCESS:

Once the manuscript is registered, it goes through the review or arbitration process, which must be carried out with relevance, timeliness, methodological rigor, and clear writing and structure.

This process takes into account that:

•  The referees will conform to the arbitration guidelines adopted by the journal.
•  Two specialized referees will be appointed according to the subject matter of the manuscript.
•  Double blind review will be carried out, except when considered useful according to the topic and content, which applying Open Peer Review (OPR), will provide scientific benefits to both authors and reviewers.
•  If the referees do not agree on their criteria, a third party will be appointed.
•  A form will be used where the criteria and arguments for the arbitration are stated. This constitutes the arbitration guide.
•  The work must be evaluated and its results registered in the OJS platform in the space corresponding to the referee within 60 days.

Once the results have been received, the arbitrators' suggestions will be reconciled. The Editorial Committee will make the decision to accept the submission without restrictions, to communicate the observations and suggestions for reworking and re-submission for review, or to reject it for further arrangements.

    The results of the revision will be communicated by email to the first author or author of contact, which can be:

•  Acceptance of the manuscript. In this case, it will go through the correction and style process for editing and publication.
•  Returned for minor adjustments. In this case, the author(s) will have 30 days to proceed with the elaboration of a new version, taking into account the recommendations stated in the arbitration report and registering it in the same space as the previous one. Once registered, it will go back to a revision round. If after 30 days the corrected work is not received, the Editorial Committee may decide to extend the date for another 30 days, or to file it, communicating it to the first author or author of contact by email. If it is archived and the author(s) maintain(s) their desire to publish in the journal, they must register it as a new manuscript, commenting on the editor in the corresponding space of the 1st step of the registration, which follows a 2nd version of the work whose title and ID are recorded.
•  Return for major repairs.  In this case, the primary author is notified by email of the review considerations and that the work will be archived. It will be clarified that if the intention to publish it in the journal is maintained, it must be registered as a new submission, commenting in a note to the editor in the corresponding space of the 1st step of the registration, which is due to a new version of the work whose title and identifier (ID) is recorded. This will allow the recovery of the previous process and give continuity to the evaluation of the new version.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFEREES.

•     They may not have conflicts of interest

•     They will comply with ethical and review standards, guaranteeing the confidential nature of the manuscripts, verifying that the guidelines are met according to the type of article, evaluating and providing references and evidence that document the recommendations, criticisms and deficiencies found in the manuscripts. 

•     They will carry out well-reasoned, fair, constructive and informative reviews that facilitate the efficient and rapid handling of the work.

•     They will record the results of the review in writing in the Referee's Report, in terms of content and assessments, in the following format:

ARBITRATION RULES

(Taken from: Arbitration of the Cuban Journal of Public Health. Author: Dr. Francisco Rojas Ochoa)

Peer review of scientific journals consists of the review by experts of the articles received by the journal with the aim of publishing them. Journals that do not use peer review as a method to ensure the quality of the publication are not recognized by the scientific community.

Referees must be chosen on the basis of rigorous selection criteria. Their main attributes will be:

1. Absolute ethics. They will review originals that belong to the authors, cannot divulge in any way the content reviewed and will only inform the editor of the journal of their opinions.

2. High scientific level. They will be true experts in the field on which they will give their opinion.

3. Voluntary work. Arbitration is not paid work. The recognition of their work will only be of a moral and professional nature.

The method applied is the so-called "double blind". The arbitrator will not know who the author / is of the work being evaluated, nor the institution from which it comes. The author will not know who his or her referees are.

No work has been done in the country to educate or train the referees. When our journal first asks an expert to act as an arbitrator, it sends him/her an article describing the nature of his/her work and the guidelines for it.

The referee should be advised that his or her job is not to compare his or her opinions with those of the author. They may have differing opinions, but the aim is to ensure that the article is relevant, up-to-date, methodologically sound, and clearly written and structured.

Articles that are rejected must be returned to the author/s, with the criteria that support the return. The journal does not establish any discussion or controversy with the authors of articles that are not approved.

A paragraph of utmost importance is transcribed from the "Uniformity Requirements for Manuscripts sent to Biomedical Journals: writing and preparation of the edition of a biomedical publication":

" Reviewers are not authorized to make copies of the manuscript for their files and are prohibited from sharing it with others, except with the permission of the editor. Reviewers must return or destroy copies of manuscripts after they have been evaluated. Editors should not keep copies of rejected manuscripts. Reviewers' comments should not be published or made public without the permission of the reviewer, the author, and the editor.

The problem that often affects our arbitration is the time it takes to respond to the request made by the journal. It is common for them to take more than 4 weeks, which is detrimental to the journal.

One last observation, of the utmost importance: our referees are public health professionals/scientists and without exception revolutionary. Consistent political focus, not as a censor or pamphleteer, is part of their job.

ETHICAL PRINCIPLES OF PUBLICATION (Download)

1. Institutional authorization

In studies where institutional authorization is required, researchers should provide information about the approval of their work proposals, with the corresponding authorization from the institution before starting the study. The research must adhere to the protocol authorized by the institution and its ethics committee, contained in the field of health management research.

2.  Informed consent

Researchers must explicitly state whether or not they have the written consent of the participants involved in the research.

a) For research

The consent must inform the participant of the following: (1) the objective of the research, the procedures, as well as the expected duration; (2) his or her right to decline to participate in the research and to be able to withdraw even after the application has begun; (3) the possible consequences of declining to participate or withdrawing from the research; (4) the foreseeable factors that may affect his or her willingness to participate; (5) the existence or not of possible benefits and incentives from their participation in the research; (6) the limits of confidentiality; and (7) the contact information of the person(s) responsible for the study who can resolve questions about the research and the rights of study participants. Participants must have the opportunity to ask questions before giving consent.

When conducting studies that involve the use of experimental procedures, pilot studies, or other testing alternatives in the field of management or administration, investigators must inform participants at the beginning of the research about

(a) the experimental nature of the study; (b) the means to be used in the study and of the control group(s), if any; and (c) possible alternatives if a participant does not agree to participate in the study or if he or she wishes to withdraw after the study has begun.

(b) Waiver of informed consent for research:

Researchers may waive informed consent only when;

It would not reasonably be feasible for the research to cause discomfort or harm, and it involves the study of current educational practices, curriculum, or methods of classroom supervision applied in educational settings; the use only of anonymous questionnaires, field observations, or archival studies for which the significance of the responses would not place the participants at risk of civil or criminal liability, or any other type of harm; the study of factors relating to the work or effectiveness of the organization conducted in an organizational setting, where there is no risk that the employability of the participants will be affected

When authorized by law or by institutional or governmental regulations.

3.  Users/patients, students, and subordinate research participants

When researchers conduct studies with users/patients, students, or subordinates as participants, they should take precautions to defend potential participants from the consequences of declining or withdrawing their participation. Also, when participation in research is a course requirement or leads to the possibility of obtaining additional credit, the participant should be given the choice of equivalent alternatives.

4.   Offering Incentives for Study Participation

a) Researchers should make every effort to avoid offering excessive or inadequate incentives, financial or otherwise, to achieve participation in studies when such incentives might influence their participation.

b) When scientific-technical or other services are offered as incentives for participation, courses, training or other activities that result in the training of the participant, the corresponding limitations and obligations should be clarified.

5.   Autonomy and absence of deception

a) The exercise of autonomy must be guaranteed, for which voluntary consent is essential.

b) There must be no coercion, fraud, deception or pressure on participants, the researcher must provide understandable information regarding the nature, duration, purpose, method used, inconvenience, damage and effects on persons participating in the research.

6.  Closing of Investigation

a) Researchers should offer participants the opportunity to obtain adequate information about the nature, results, and conclusions of the study, taking steps to avoid misunderstandings.

b) If the scientific or humanitarian value of the research justifies the delay or withholding of information, investigators should seek to reduce the risk of harm.

c) When researchers realize that the procedures used in the research have caused some harm, they should implement the necessary measures to minimize the harm.

7.  Ethical Principles in Scientific Articles

a) Human rights, privacy and confidentiality: when necessary, authors should specify that they adhere to recognized standards in order to minimize possible harm to participants, avoid the use of coercion or exploitation, and protect confidentiality in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and the Policy for the Protection of Human Rights and the Principles of Medical Ethics in Cuba. Similarly, when appropriate, researchers should openly communicate any information that may influence the will of the participant, such as: sponsorship, purpose of the study, expected results, and possible consequences of publication of the research.

b) Cultures and heritages: authors should not include any images of objects that could have cultural significance or that could be interpreted as offensive, such as religious texts or historical events. Likewise, researchers should be careful not to include names or photographs of deceased persons when this is contraindicated in the culture.

c) Biosecurity: authors should indicate whether the study is considered as dual-use research, which would imply that the results of such research have a potential for application that may be benign or malignant. Thus, researchers should follow the guidelines for Dual Use Life Sciences Research set forth by the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB).

d) Reporting Format: Researchers should follow the latest edition of the Vancouver editorial format (with its own modifications and editorial adjustments stated in the instructions to authors) to accurately report study results, allowing readers to assess, replicate, and use them.

8.   Reporting research results

a) Researchers should not invent data.

b) If researchers discover significant errors in the published data, the necessary actions must be taken to publicly correct these errors.

9. Research Integrity

(a) Research misconduct: Research misconduct refers to fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism when proposing, conducting, or reviewing research, or when reporting research results. If the editorial board suspects misconduct, it will request an investigation into the matter from the institution supporting the research, the employer, sponsor, or the appropriate national body.

b) Reports of irregularities: Reports of irregularities in the investigation, made by identified persons or anonymously, will be investigated only if accompanied by the respective evidence.

c) Manufacture/falsification and manipulation of images: sometimes it is necessary to edit the images to reveal certain characteristics; however, inappropriate manipulation of images creates misleading results. Investigators should report when editing images. They should also follow the recommendations below:

1.         Specific characteristics should not be altered.

2.         Original unpublished images should also be submitted when any modification is made to the image intended for publication.

3.         Adjustments to brightness or contrast can only be used when applied equally to the entire image and do not distort the sense of the image.

4.         Excessive editing to emphasize an image size is not appropriate.

5.         If any part of a recording or non-linear adjustments are deleted, it should be noted in the figure legend.

6.         Figures should not be constructed from different components; however, if the author considers it necessary, then it should be clearly indicated by dividing lines in the figure and in the caption.

d) Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the copying or misuse of another person's intellectual property. Researchers should not present as their own parts of other works or data of others. Manuscripts will be analyzed for plagiarism. In the event of a complaint or detection of plagiarism, the Editorial Committee will set up a commission of experts to investigate and rule on the violation, and if it is proven, a note will be made in the published article and the institution supporting the work, the employer, sponsor, or the competent national body will be informed.

e) Duplicate and redundant publication of data: researchers should avoid publishing data that has been previously published as original. This does not prevent re-publication or re-publication of data as long as it is accompanied by appropriate acknowledgement. Abstracts and posters presented at congress, results presented at scientific meetings, results in databases and clinical trial records that have not been interpreted, as well as dissertations and theses in university archives are not considered duplicated publications

1. Recycling of texts: partial results of a previous publication that are addressed to a different audience are allowed when the discussion and conclusion are different.

2.         Double submission: authors may not submit a manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. If the Editorial Board becomes aware of such a situation, the manuscript will not be considered for publication.

3.         Duplicate information published in other languages: translations of already published manuscripts will not be considered for publication.

f) Sanctions: sanctions are consistently applied after careful consideration. First, a retraction will be issued. In the most serious circumstances, the institution from which the author(s) comes will be notified, and the journal of Information for Health Managers, INFODIR will refuse to examine the future work of the author(s) involved.

10.  Editorial Standards and Processes

a) Authorship: the list of authors and their sequential order should appropriately reflect the scientific or professional contributions of the researchers involved. All authors of the manuscript must sign an authorization form, indicating their level of participation with the study.  Additional contributions that do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgement section with the permission of the authors. All the required administrative requirements should be completed (e.g., approval by the Institutional Ethics Committee and registration of documentation). All correspondence should be made through the contact author listed as such in the registry metadata, with exceptions that should be known to all authors. 

b) Authorship disputes: if the Editorial Committee suspects problems with authorship, it will contact the corresponding author for further information. In case more information is needed, other authors will be contacted.

c) Funding: all sources of funding, as well as their specific roles, should be listed in the acknowledgements section. If there is no funding source, this should be explicitly stated. Other sources of funding, such as editorial assistance, should also be specified.

d) Peer Review: the journal of Information for Health Managers, INFODIR, uses double-blind peer review of articles, having a maximum of 60 days to issue its opinion or review report. Only the following sections do not go through the peer review: Editorial, and Special Sections. All articles submitted are treated with the confidentiality of the case. Thus, peer reviewers must communicate any conflict of interest when responding to an invitation to review a manuscript, as well as when presenting the results of the review of the manuscript. In cases of conflict of interest, such as when the reviewer has recently collaborated with the author at the same institution, or when the reviewer is in direct competition with the author, the reviewers cannot review the author's manuscript.

INFODIR, the journal of Information for Health Managers, reserves the right to apply Open Peer Review (OPR), when it considers it useful.

e) Time of publication: INFODIR, the journal of Information for Health Managers, strives to ensure timely peer review, avoiding unnecessary delays in the publication process.
