Funding Model

Llimpi. Electronic Journal of Education is an open-access academic publication funded by the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the National University of Huancavelica.
No fees are charged for article submission or publication, and operating costs are covered institutionally.

 

Mission, Objectives and Editorial Sustainability

The mission of Llimpi is to actively contribute to the dissemination of scientific knowledge in the field of education, by promoting the publication of original and unpublished research that addresses current educational issues from diverse theoretical, methodological, and contextual perspectives, with special emphasis on Andean, regional, and national realities.

The journal's main objectives include:

  • Strengthening academic production among researchers, teachers, and students.

  • Promoting open access to scientific information, free of charge and without restrictions.

  • Ensuring editorial quality and ethics through rigorous peer review processes.

  • Encouraging thematic, institutional, and geographic diversity in contributions.

  • Disseminating research that generates social and educational impact, particularly at the regional and national levels.

As editorial priorities, Llimpi is committed to maintaining a regular publication schedule, achieving inclusion in recognized databases and indexes, complying with international best practices in scientific publishing, and continuously improving editorial and technological processes.

To ensure operational sustainability, the journal is supported by the Vice-Rectorate for Research of the Universidad Nacional de Huancavelica, which provides technical, human, and financial resources. Additionally, the editorial team develops and implements annual improvement plans, manages editorial performance indicators (such as response times, rejection rate, indexation, and visibility), and strengthens the skills of its members through training, procedural reviews, and ongoing updates.

Llimpi uses the open-source editorial management system Open Journal Systems (OJS), which ensures transparency in its workflows and facilitates sustainable operations without reliance on commercial platforms. The journal also fosters strategic alliances with academic networks, educational institutions, and university publishers to support its growth and long-term consolidation.

Llimpi Journal has an operational plan for scientific dissemination and marketing that guides strategic actions to increase its visibility, attract new authors, and strengthen its positioning within the national and international scientific community. This plan includes actions on social media, audiovisual content production, and strategies to foster reader and author engagement.

The complete plan is documented and available upon institutional request for auditing, evaluation, or inter-institutional collaboration purposes.

Preprints

The journal Llimpi accepts manuscripts previously deposited on recognized preprint servers (e.g., SciELO Preprints, OSF, arXiv), provided that:

  • The author declares the link or DOI of the preprint at the time of submission.
  • The manuscript is not under simultaneous review at another journal.
  • The content has not been substantially altered from the preprint.

The existence of a preprint does not constitute prior publication and does not affect the double-blind peer review process. The Editorial Committee will evaluate the appropriateness of acceptance on a case-by-case basis.

 

Peer Review Process

Manuscripts received for publication in the journal Llimpi are subjected to a double-blind peer review process. The manuscript is sent to two national or foreign peer reviewers of the researchers, who make any pertinent corrections or observations.

  • Texts that pass the editorial evaluation will be sent to academics with experience in the area and topic corresponding to the article. The reviewers will be chosen from a list of national and international experts, who will offer comments on the relevance and quality of the proposed article, in addition to evaluating its suitability for publication.
  • The reviewers will be in charge of examining and analyzing the texts, the relevance of the theoretical frameworks and the suitability of the methodology, as well as evaluating the importance of the findings described.
  • Each text will be sent to two specialists belonging to institutions different from those of the authors, who will provide their respective comments. Subsequently, based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editor will make the final decision:

Positive + Positive: Accepted
Positive + Negative: The manuscript will be sent to a third referee.
Negative + Subject to change: The author must re-send the scientific article to the editor and the editor will send the reviewer to accept or reject the publication.
Negative + Negative: Rejected

  • The editorial committee will always ensure that the reports delivered to the authors contain solid justifications that support the editorial decision.
  • The conclusions of the academic evaluation process will be final and cannot be challenged in any case.
  • The period required for the document to enter the review process will depend on the number of items waiting. Once receipt of the article by the author has been confirmed, it is estimated that the evaluation process will take around 8 weeks.
  • If comments are received, the author will have a period of two weeks to send a revised version of the work to the editor (this will be done through the Open Journal System).
  • Once the reviewers receive the article, they will have one month to complete the review and provide the result.
  • Documents that are accepted will begin the editing process, which includes style correction, layout, among others, before being published, as decided by the editorial management.
  • After completing the editorial process, the draft version of the text will be sent to the authors for final review and approval. They will be given a period of three business days to provide their approval. If no comments are received within this period, it will be understood that the authors have given their implicit approval.
  • Publication certificates will only be issued to authors who expressly request it from the Editor of the journal.

 

Authorship Contribution Policy (CRediT)

With the aim of ensuring transparency in the authorship process and recognizing the specific contributions of each individual to the development of manuscripts, the journal Llimpi adopts the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) as the international standard for authorship declarations.

This policy seeks to prevent authorship misconduct (such as honorary authorship or unjustified omission) while valuing the individual and collective work behind each publication.

📌 What is the CRediT Taxonomy?

CRediT is a taxonomy developed to describe, in a standardized way, the roles played by authors in the creation of a scientific article. It includes 14 distinct roles, and each author may fulfill one or more of them.

The CRediT roles are as follows:

  1. Conceptualization: Ideas; formulation or evolution of the general objectives and goals of the research.

  2. Data curation: Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), clean data, and maintain research data.

  3. Formal analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other techniques to analyze or synthesize study data.

  4. Fundraising: Acquisition of financial support for the project that led to this publication.

  5. Research: Execution of the research and data collection process.

  6. Methodology: Development or design of the methodology; creation of models.

  7. Project management: Responsibility for managing and coordinating project planning and execution.

  8. Resources: Provision of study materials, reagents, instruments, patients, samples, etc.

  9. Software: Programming, software development, computer program design.

  10. Supervision: Supervision and leadership responsible for the planning and execution of the research activity.

  11. Validation: Verification of the research process and its results.

  12. Visualization: Preparation, creation, and presentation of visual data.

  13. Writing – original draft: Writing the initial draft of the manuscript.

  14. Writing – review and editing: Critical review, commentary, or revision of the manuscript, including pre- and post-publication stages.
