Editorial Indicators
Revista CoPaLa. Construyendo Paz Latinoamericana publishes aggregated editorial indicators in order to strengthen the transparency, traceability and continuous improvement of its academic and editorial management processes.
These indicators provide information on the editorial flow of manuscripts, published production, continuity of periodicity, diversity of contents, selectivity of the evaluation process, review and publication times, as well as the institutional and geographical diversity of published authors.
The information is presented in aggregated form, without compromising the confidentiality of the peer review process or the identity of reviewers. The data are obtained from the journal’s editorial records, the Open Journal Systems platform and public information available on the Revista CoPaLa website.
Editorial indicators are different from bibliometric indicators. While bibliometric indicators show the visibility, circulation, consultation, indexing or external impact of the journal, editorial indicators show the internal functioning of the editorial process, institutional openness, diversity of authorship, continuity of publication and traceability of academic management.
Note: Data for 2026 should be interpreted as partial or still in the process of consolidation, according to the progress of the editorial year.
