About the journal
Crea Ciencia is a biannual open-access scientific journal published by the Publications Department of the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Outreach at the Evangelical University of El Salvador (UEES). It specializes in health science research conducted by internal and external researchers, both national and international. It is aimed at researchers, students, professionals, and the general public interested in the field.
The articles in Crea Ciencia are scientific and unpublished, in the form of research articles, case studies, meta-analyses, scientific essays, and letters to the editor; all of them must comply with the basic formal criteria of the academic journal. There are no article processing charges (APC).
All manuscripts submitted must be accompanied by a parallel file containing a letter of endorsement from a legally registered national or international research ethics committee and informed consent, if applicable, when working with informants.
Contributions containing political, religious, cultural, or economic content that seeks confrontation, degradation, or contempt of any kind will not be accepted.
About arbitration
Crea Ciencia uses a double-blind review process, where neither party knows the identity of the other. This decision was made because we believe that this generates a vision without prejudice or subjective values. In addition, the TURNITIN system is used for text similarity recognition.
About the editorial line
Crea Ciencia is not affiliated with any government agency or any business institution outside the journal itself; similarly, it does not seek to establish a particular interest in any specific topic. It has no political, religious, partisan, or economic affiliation.
Similarly, the funding of the research, which is generated by the Research Directorate of the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Outreach of the UEES, is taken into account. Likewise, the diversification of research funding sources and, finally, like any institutional body, it seeks to ensure that dissemination and diffusion contribute to the training of well-rounded professionals who possess quality information with a vision for the future.
Objective of the journal
To disseminate the work of internal and external researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and internal and external faculty. All these contributions will undergo the necessary reviews to be considered for publication. Likewise, the journal seeks to be a space for the dissemination of institutional research generated by the Vice-Rector's Office for Research and Outreach, and any other space of a similar nature within the Evangelical University of El Salvador (UEES).
Frequency of the journal
Crea Ciencia is published twice a year: the first issue from January to June and the second from July to December. This format was introduced in Volume 8 in 2013. As it is a continuous publication, contributions are accepted throughout the year, but there are call for papers processes that determine the opening and closing dates for submissions.
Target audience
Crea Ciencia is primarily aimed at our academic community, without excluding anyone who is interested in learning about and expanding their knowledge of scientific, technical, and professional topics related to health from any location.
