Author Guidelines

360: Revista de Ciencias de la Gestión aims to provide a comprehensive view of organizational management that allows us to address the sectoral and functional complexity inherent in the organizational sphere in the contemporary world.

360: Revista de Ciencias de la Gestión is an academic journal published on a continuous basis and open to contributions from Peruvian and foreign authors.

Nature of contributions
The journal accepts both theoretical and empirical contributions on organizational management. The acceptability of contributions is related to the soundness and relevance of their contribution to the discipline. Articles with a theoretical approach must be based on available theoretical literature, explain the nature of the theoretical contribution made, and point out the practical relevance of that contribution. Methodological contributions must adhere to these considerations. Among the reasons for rejecting articles are: a) partial and unjustified revision of certain theoretical approaches, b) vagueness of the theoretical contribution, and c) limited discussion of the practical implications of the contribution.

Articles with an empirical approach must be based on a solid theoretical framework, use valid and reliable methods, and generate original, interesting, and distinctive findings. Some of the most common reasons for manuscript rejection involve: a) insufficient theoretical basis for the study, b) weakness of the methodological design, and c) limited value of the findings for the discipline. Since an important part of these aspects depends on the design stage, peer review is recommended before fieldwork.

Manuscripts should be written taking into account the good practices of academic writing indicated by the Royal Spanish Academy and the specific guidelines established in the journal's style manual. In the case of contributions in English, good writing practices in that language should be considered. In any case, it is advisable to have the text reviewed by a qualified style editor, as improper or confusing writing is sufficient grounds for rejecting a submitted article.

Before being sent, manuscripts—which must be no less than 5,000 words and no more than 7,000 words in length, not including the bibliography section—must be edited to remove any explicit or implicit references to their authorship, in order to ensure the impartiality of the peer review process. In addition, articles must include an abstract of no more than 150 words and five keywords.

The submission of contributions implies a quid pro quo clause for authors, in terms of their willingness to participate in any future peer review process.

Preliminary evaluation by the Editorial Committee
After receiving an article, the Editorial Committee conducts a preliminary review to assess whether a) it complies with the guidelines established in the call for papers, b) it has a minimum probability of being evaluated favorably by the referees, and c) it meets basic criteria for writing in Spanish or English. If the article does not meet these conditions, it will be returned to the author.

All articles submitted, which must be a minimum of 5,000 words and a maximum of 7,000 words, will be reviewed by a double-blind peer review system.

All contributions must be unpublished and written in Spanish or English. They should be sent as Word files or files from a compatible program to revista.gestion@pucp.edu.pe. Authors should also attach a brief biography. In the case of articles, a summary of no more than 150 words and five keywords should also be submitted.

Citations should follow APA format, seventh edition.
