Other considerations Avances en Ciencias e Ingenieria (ACI)

Other considerations
Hereby, there’s information relating to the works which are not selected to be published in the journal. The failure to publish a manuscript in Avances en Ciencias e Ingeniería can be attributed to three reasons: 1) negative evaluation of the referees (and, therefore, work is not publishable), 2) due to work’s withdrawal by the authors, at any stage or 3) due to inappropriate behaviors in a publication.
1) Negative evaluation of referees and publication |
Implies that the work evaluation in question, by more than one referee (peer review), has been unfavorable. Referees have indicated various comments and observations that justify their decision. The Editor informs the author the decision not to publish the work in the journal, based on the evaluations. The author can re-submit work for consideration in the magazine, but must restate from past evaluations. This work will be treated as new, and subjected to evaluation in accordance with the procedures described by the journal. |
2) Work withdrawal |
A work will not be published, if the author withdraws it, at any stage of the process (reception, evaluation, modification, and acceptance). |
3) Inappropriate behavior in publications |
Avances en Ciencias e Ingeniería, rejects any publication that has not been carried out in an honest, serious and professional way, what goes against the principles and values that be researchers must follow in general. Therefore, there’s no place in the journal for: replication (full or partial), plagiarism (and self plagiarism), forgery and data, manipulation and any other inappropriate action. When a work and its author have engaged in any dishonest practices, copyright and ethical commitment provided by the magazine violation (acknowledged by the author), the work will be excluded of the publishing process notifying the author and his institution. |
If a work is not published in the journal, for the reason stated in paragraph 1 (negative evaluation), the author shall be entitled a refund of 50% of the payment made for their work (percentage that considers the administrative and operational costs involved in the management of an article), according to the actual amount received by EBS (in the case of wire transfers), or leave this percentage as a credit balance for sending other work. |
No partial (or total) refund will be provided to the author whose work has not been published for the reasons stated in paragraphs 2 and 3. |
Deadline for the authors (negative evaluation of referees and publication) to consider this money (50% of the amount paid) either as refund or credit balance for a new work is 12 months (from date of notification). After that, there is no chance for claiming the money. |
The refund process (for those authors upon request) will be conducted as follows: |

Article evaluation and final versions Avances en Ciencias e Ingenieria (ACI)

Article evaluation and final versions Received articles will be reviewed by international referees (peer- review), who will evaluate the manuscript’s relevance of the content and validity, for which a standard form is used for writing comments and suggestions to the respective authors. The Editor will ensure the compliance of Avances en Ciencias e Ingeniería standards. The articles received must meet the requirements stipulated in the rules, once verified that the jobs are sent to evaluate (a four evaluators). The evaluator selected, it prompts you for the work of arbitration and sent a copy of the work (in pdf format with numbered lines, including the authors and their affiliations). The evaluator must complete a form where their impressions and suggestions delivery, according to the items of the form. The article’s approval is resolved with at least 2 positive evaluations. If two evaluations are different (one approving and other, rejecting the work), a third evaluation is carried out or a new arbitrator is designated (if not having a third evaluation), for the Editor to settle. If a work has two or more negative evaluations, this may not be published. The name of the evaluator (and affiliation) won’t be revealed to the authors. The evaluator receives a certificate for the evaluation carried out. Additionally, the journal’s Editor suggests some aspects of format. The author receives the evaluation’s report and the text edition made by the Editor. Evaluated and accepted works will be sent to authors for modifications, if applicable. Upon receipt of this version, changes are verified, according to the comments and evaluation’s observations. Works meeting all requirements will be assigned to the respective number and volume of the journal. Assignation shall be in strict order of reception. After publishing the article, a copy of the work will be sent to the author (reprint) digitally (in PDF). Final Versions Once the authors have made the changes, they shall send a copy of the edited manuscript (doc and pdf formats), and a letter explaining the changes (attended and unattended ones, duly justified) according to the evaluators’ observations. This will be a free format letter (can be in tabular or prose), but they should clearly specify to whom is the answer addressed to (to the Editor, Evaluator1, Evaluator2, etc). Deadline for sending the modified version is 2.5 months. After that time, if the modified version is not received, the author shall be deemed to remove the work from the process. However, the author may request an extension in attention to reasons which may delay sending the modified version, indicating the respective reasons for delay. Release tests Once the modified version of the article is approved, format will be reviewed (for example, presentation and figures and tables placement) for a better presentation and publication impact. The same applies to the article’s first page, where abstract, title and keywords in Spanish and English will be checked. The Editor reserves the right to make changes considered appropriate, without affecting the substance of the article. Once the review is ready, a copy is sent to the author for approval. |

Descripción y Alcance de SMBR Número Actual | LA IMPORTANCIA DEL DERECHO DE LA COMPETENCIA PARA EL CORRECTO FUNCIONAMIENTO DE LA ECONOMÍA, ESPECIALMENTE EN ÉPOCAS DE CRISIS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COMPETITION LAW FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE ECONOMY, ESPECIALLY IN TIMES OF CRISIS
Patricia Pérez Universidad de Castilla-la Mancha, Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales, Departamento de Derecho Público y de la Empresa, Área de Derecho Mercantil, Ronda de Toledo s/n, 13071 Ciudad Real – España (e-mail: Patricia.Perez@uclm.es) Resumen En este estudio es analizada la importancia que posee en la actualidad el Derecho de defensa de la libre competencia en sistemas de Economía de mercado, como el mecanismo de asignación más eficiente para distribuir los recursos y así aumentar la productividad y maximizar el desarrollo económico. Así, se describen brevemente los beneficios de la libre competencia en el marco de una Economía competitiva para, a continuación, hacer referencia a la importancia que tiene el mantenimiento de este sector normativo en épocas de crisis, donde se ha tendido tradicionalmente a limitar o flexibilizar esta normativa, con el fin de proteger a las empresas. No obstante, parece que el mantenimiento de la normativa defensora de la libre competencia es la forma más rápida de salir de períodos de recesión económica, puesto que se incentiva el libre acceso de empresas innovadoras a los mercados. Abstract In this study the current importance of competition law (also called antitrust law) is analyzed in economic systems which have market economies, as perhaps the most efficient mechanism of allocation of resources to distribute and increase productivity and maximize economic development. Moreover the benefits of free competition in the context of a competitive economy are briefly described, and finally referred to the importance of maintaining this policy area in times of crisis, when these rules have been traditionally limited or relaxed in order to protect companies. However, it seems that maintaining competition law and rules related to free competition is the quickest way to be out of periods of economic recession, since it encourages the free access of innovative companies to markets.

Descripción y Alcance de SMBR Número Actual | STAKEHOLDERS Y RIESGO EMPRESARIAL DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA DE LA INFORMACIÓN CONTABLE STAKEHOLDERS AND BUSINESS RISK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION
Alba M. Priego, Regino Banegas y Montserrat Manzaneque Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, Avenida de los Alfares, 44, Cuenca – España (e-mail: Regino.Banegas@uclm.es) Resumen Sobre la base de los planteamientos de la Teoría de la Agencia, Teoría de la Dependencia de los Recursos y Teoría de los Stakeholders este trabajo pretende contribuir al análisis de los factores que inciden en el riesgo empresarial, mostrando la dependencia que mantienen las empresas fracasadas y no fracasadas respecto de los diferentes stakeholders con ellas relacionados. Para ello, se ha tomado una muestra de 1.724 PYMES españolas, a lo largo del periodo 2006-2008, sobre las cuales se han realizado contrastes estadísticos de diferencia de medias entre dos muestras, así como modelos de predicción logística binaria. En concreto, los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto que, en una alta probabilidad, el riesgo de insolvencia de la empresa depende de los stakeholders, siendo, por tanto, de vital importancia, para su supervivencia, controlar el nivel de dependencia en relación con los mismos, especialmente, en los momentos de crisis económica-financiera. Abstract On the basis of the theoretical approaches of the Agency Theory, the Theory of Resource Dependency and the Stakeholder theory, this paper seeks to contribute to the analysis of the factors that impact in the business risk, showing the dependence that unsuccessful and not unsuccessful companies have with the different stakeholders with them related. To do this, a sample of 1,724 Spanish SMEs has been taken, through 2006-2008, on which statistical tests of difference of averages between two samples have been carried out, as well as binary logistic prediction models. Specifically, the results show that, in a high probability, the risk of insolvency of the company depends on the stakeholders. in this sense, the dependence control level on the stakeholders is vital to their survival, especially in times of economic and financial crisis.
