Manuscripts must be submitted in Word format to [email protected] The author must keep a copy of the manuscript since neither the Editor nor the publisher assumes responsibility for non-receipt or loss of the manuscript during the evaluation and editing process.

An e-mail will be sent to the correspondence author to confirm receipt, and the manuscript will be assessed for plagiarism and duplication through the iThenticate ® software. The material for consideration will be evaluated by the Editorial Board for provisional approval based on relevance and quality. A declaration of responsibility and transfer of copyright form will be e-mailed to be completed by each author. The manuscripts that continue the editing process will be evaluated by at least two external peers, under double blind modality. Hepatología guarantees that this process is confidential.

Once the Editor has received the comments from the peers, a communication will be sent to the correspondence author so that the suggested changes can be made, if requested, within two weeks. When the manuscript has been accepted in its final version, a PDF copy of the article will be sent to the corresponding author for final review, to be returned within 48 hours. If no comments are received within the deadline, Hepatología is not responsible for typographical or spelling errors that are published. Similarly, the journal keeps the right to admit or not corrections made by the author to the proof material.

Hepatología reserves the right to accept or reject submitted manuscripts and will make the changes in style and grammar it deems necessary, as well as make suggestions that considers may improve the presentation and quality of the manuscript. In all cases, the authors are responsible for the ideas, judgments, opinions, approach, accuracy and all aspects expressed in the manuscript.
