Submission of a manuscript to the journal implies that all authors have read and agreed to its content and that the manuscript conforms to the journal’s policies. The manuscript should not have been previously published or should not be under consideration for publication in another journal. Manuscripts should not exceed 7000 words.

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

Submissions of theoretical work and empirical studies in either Spanish or English are accepted. However, works in Spanish need to be accompanied by an English translation of the paper, i.e., the title, abstract, keywords, the main body, references, and figures and tables (if applicable). If the paper is accepted, both Spanish and English versions will be published.

JMGS shall require a statement that no part of the manuscript was falsified, fabricated, plagiarized. Falsification, fabrication, or plagiarism can lead to retraction and reprimand from the journal. It is the author’s responsibility to retract or correct errors promptly.

For articles with sensitive information, JMGS may require proof of approval by the authors’ university ethics committee or its equivalent, which includes proof of informed consent, statement regarding potential conflict of interest and source of financial support.
