   • Methodology: It will be presented with the precision that is convenient for the reader to understand its context, as well as to understand and validate the basis of the research or theoretical analysis. In the case of research, it must be specific in the description of participants, sample, sampling strategies and type of analysis used.
   • Results: The relevant results of the research are presented, without making value judgments. For this purpose, tables and/or figures can be used in accordance with APA 7th edition regulations, ensuring that they form a logical sequence in the text and that they are a contribution and not a redundancy of data.
   • Discussion: This section should explore the significance and importance of the results, not repeat them, contrasting them with the perspective of other authors.

The use of the APA 7th edition standards and the correct construction of each reference according to the type of document to which it corresponds is considered essential. DOI or retrieval URL must be added to all references to journal articles and documents available in electronic format.

2. Editorial process
   
   ✓ Reception of articles: The works will only be received through the OJS (Open Journal System) platform of the journal. To do so, it is necessary to create a profile as an author, from which you will be guided and indicated the steps to upload your article on www.readed.unsa.edu.pe.
   Once the submission is finished, you will receive a notification from the Revista Agustina de Educación of reception, indicating whether the work is rejected or preliminarily estimated for evaluation by experts. In the event that the manuscript presents formal deficiencies or is not included in the thematic focus of the publication, the work will be rejected without the option of return. On the contrary, if superficial formal deficiencies are shown, the work will be returned for correction.

   ✓ Review by the Editorial Committee: Once the article has been received, it will be assigned to a member of the editorial committee for an initial review of compliance with the regulations of the Revista Agustina de Educación, editorial profile, originality and novelty of the article. Subsequently, if the article complies with this initial review, it will be subject to a blind peer review; otherwise, the article will be rejected.
   In addition, in order to maintain the originality of its articles, if the article complies with the above, it is submitted to Ouriginal, an anti-plagiarism software capable of recognizing non-original documents, indicating their source of origin.

   ✓ Blind evaluation by external peers: If the editorial team determines that the manuscript meets the minimum criteria to continue its review, two blind evaluators are assigned, who, through the Journal's platform, complete the respective evaluation guidelines for the research article. The journal uses a double-blind review, which means that the identity and origin of the authors are anonymous to the evaluators and vice versa.
   The evaluation concludes with a decision indicating whether a manuscript is: Accepted, Accepted with minor modifications, Accepted with major modifications, or Rejected. In the event of discrepancies between the evaluators' opinions, the manuscript is sent to a third evaluator and with this third opinion, the editorial committee makes the decision to reject or send the article for modification. This decision will be reported through a letter sent through the platform to the authors' email.
   If the work was evaluated positively, either with minor or major modifications, the authors have a period of two weeks to send a new version, which includes the modifications indicated by the evaluators.
   The evaluators are academic experts on the subject, external to the Editorial Committee and, preferably, from countries with a geographical location different from that of the authors of the article.

   ✓ Second round of review: Once the new version has been received from the authors, it is sent anonymously to the evaluators of the first version, in order to check whether the adjustments suggested by them were considered. To do this, the first version, its first evaluation, the new version of the article and the report prepared by the authors regarding the modifications made are sent. Based on this, each evaluator evaluates the new manuscript and indicates to the editor whether new modifications are necessary or whether they consider that the article can now be published.

   ✓ Final opinion: Once the editor receives the new evaluations from the peer reviewers, together with the editorial team, he/she analyses the overall assessment of the manuscript and proceeds to approve or reject it for publication.
   When the reviewers consider that it is still necessary to make adjustments to the manuscript, the editor prepares a new letter with the evaluations, ensuring the anonymity of the experts, which is sent to the authors and the previous process is repeated until the reviewers consider that the manuscript can be published.
   Once the article is finally accepted, the authors are sent a letter of acceptance of their article.

   ✓ Correction of formal aspects: Once the article has been accepted, an evaluation is carried out regarding its formal aspects: spelling, writing, full compliance with the APA 7th edition regulations and correct translation of the title and abstract. After that, it is sent to layout to generate the version for publication.
   Prior to publication, the articles will be available to the public, with their corresponding DOI, in the section of articles in press on the journal's website.
