The received articles will be identified with a code and will be previously reviewed by the Editor and / or Editorial Coordinator of the journal, to verify the thematic relevance, application of standards, scientific structure, before starting the process of evaluation by expert peers (double blind ) and possible publication.
The results of the evaluation will be provided to the authors as suggestions for the acceptance of the writing, through the OJS journal management platform. Being an arbitrated review, the MODULO ARQUITECTURA CUC Magazine will base its final concept on these results.
Prior to the publication of the article, the author's patrimonial rights must be assigned to the magazine MODULO ARQUITECTURA CUC, through the format that the Editorial Team will send them. This format must be completed and signed by each of the authors.
The Editorial and Scientific Committee reserves the right to modify the title and body of the accepted articles and make the editorial changes it deems pertinent, in order to give the article the greatest possible clarity.

Interest conflict
ARCHITECTURE MODULE CUC monitors that the evaluation processes do not handle conflict of interest, which is why it is established that the process of choosing experts in the area of ​​the development of the article, with previous scientific publications on the subject of selection. Once the review process begins, it is guaranteed to be doubly blind, which guarantees the objectivity in the handling of the writing, neither the author nor his evaluator will know their identities. Finally, in accordance with the concepts of the peers, a consensus is generated together with the editor who establishes whether the article will be accepted without modifications, accepted with modifications (slight or substantial) to be made by the author (s), or failing that, rejected. This decision is received by the author (s) by the publisher.

The journal has also defined that it does not publish articles that have been previously published in another language, although it is a practice managed under editorial rights, MODULO ARQUITECTURA CUC does not handle this option.
Fragmentation
