  • The manuscripts submitted to the journal comply with being original and unpublished, and they should not be under evaluation in another journal or conference.
  • The content of the contributions and the cited references comply with the standards IEEE. Also review the TECNIA model which details the rules for submitting a manuscript.

Author Guidelines

About the Journal

TECNIA is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes research articles biannually. The articles result from a process of data collection and analysis in various areas of engineering and technology, with emphasis on but not limited to:

  • Structural and Civil Engineering
  • Energy and Renewable Energies
  • Materials Science

Manuscripts should be submitted by one of the authors through the OJS-UNI system, the manuscript submission system of our journal. Only electronic files in Word (.doc, .docx, .odt) format are accepted.

You can download the TECNIA format for article preparation here, where you will find detailed instructions for preparing your article following our journal's guidelines.

References

TECNIA uses the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) reference style. We recommend using reference managers such as Mendeley or Zotero to manage your references and obtain their format quickly.

Evaluation Process

  1. When a manuscript is submitted through the OJS-UNI system, the editorial process begins with a formal review, checking compliance with TECNIA format guidelines and evaluating the relevance of the text to the journal's themes. This process will last a maximum of 5 weeks, after which it will be communicated whether the peer review process is initiated.

  2. Manuscripts will undergo a similarity assessment using evaluation software to assess the level of originality. If a similarity percentage greater than 15% with other elements is found, the editorial process is halted, and the editor-in-chief rejects the manuscript.

    TECNIA defines plagiarism as the appropriation, presentation as one's own, or use of intellectual material from others without proper acknowledgment of its original source explicitly. In this regard, TECNIA suggests reviewing the online course "CONDUCTA RESPONSABLE EN INVESTIGACIÓN" developed by the Andean Center for Research and Training in Health Global Informatics at Cayetano Heredia University to detect and recognize editorial misconduct.

  3. Peer Review: Once the manuscript's originality evaluation stage is passed, it will be evaluated by external peers under the single-blind (blind peer review) or double-blind (double-blind peer review) modality.

    Selection of Reviewers
    Chosen reviewers will be specialists in the subject, with research experience and published articles in scientific journals. Also, they are not affiliated with TECNIA.

  4. Editorial Decision
    Reviewers send their technical evaluation of the article through the OJS system, suggesting the following actions to the editor:

  • Accept the submission: It is suggested to accept the article in its current state for publication.
  • Publishable with modifications: It is suggested to accept the article, with the lifting of observations indicated in the evaluation.
  • Resubmit for review: It is suggested that the author consider making major changes that could be reviewed by the same reviewers.
  • Resubmit for another publication: It is suggested that the author considers making major and substantive changes to the article.
  • Not publishable: It is suggested not to publish the article.

If the decision of at least one of the reviewers is "Resubmit for review," the author is invited to make the changes if deemed necessary, within the established period of two weeks. If not delivered by the stipulated date, the manuscript will be rejected.

Once the author resubmits the manuscript with the required corrections, these will be verified by the reviewers, issuing their final verdict.

Article Withdrawal

If the author(s) decide to withdraw the manuscript at any stage of the review, it must be requested by sending an email to tecnia@uni.edu.pe, including all co-authors involved in the manuscript in CC.

TECNIA adheres to the publication guidelines of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), particularly the process of handling complaints and editorial misconduct.
