Editorial Policy
Dos mil tres mil is a window for the dissemination of legal, political, and other related areas of knowledge. Its contribution to the academic world is due to the study, analysis, and research of the aforementioned areas of knowledge and, of course, to the promotion of dialogue within the scientific community. Being an open access journal and funded by the University of Ibagué, the journal does not charge any fee to authors for submitting their articles or for publishing them. Considering that it is a refereed journal, Dos mil tres mil has spaces for the publication of specialized articles, since the manuscripts submitted for the Research section, after being accepted by the Editorial Team, will be submitted to the evaluation of academic peers under the double-blind system. For the other sections, Dos mil tres mil journal will submit the articles to the evaluation of a reading committee. The selection of manuscripts will be made considering the policies of each section:
- Research: Includes any research, reflection, or review article, according to the parameters of the guide of the Permanent Indexing Service of Colombian Science, Technology, and Innovation Journals.
- Studies: Discloses works and other academic participations of professionals in the areas of legal, political, and social sciences of the country.
- Reviews: Reviews of literary or scientific works that present and analyze topics of law, political science, and related subjects.
- Academic events: In this section we share the memories of the activities developed by the Faculty of Law and Political Science of the University of Ibagué.
- Jurisprudence: Analysis of relevant judicial decisions in the national and international environment.
Manuscripts submitted for any of the sections of the journal must be original and unpublished, so simultaneous or previous submission to other journals is not allowed, except if they were published in another language —in which case the original publication must be mentioned—.Dos mil tres mil journal has a policy of permanent reception of manuscripts and, in addition, recommends the use of the persistent digital identifier ORCID as a system of authorship standardization.
To submit articles, it is necessary to register in the journal's platform, since the process of submission, review, editing and publication will be conducted through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. Authors should indicate the language of the text, the section of their interest and verify the submission checklist established by the journal.
When the author submits the manuscript, the Editorial Team performs a preliminary evaluation to verify that the article complies with the standards of form indicated in the guidelines for authors and is subjected to a verification of originality by means of the Plagiarism Detector program.
Once this is completed, the article is submitted for evaluation by two peer-reviewers or reading committee (according to the journal section). The final acceptance of the manuscript will depend on the Editorial Team and its publication will be made through this platform. If the text is not approved for publication, this determination will be communicated to the authors, with the reasons that justify this determination. All this, of course, keeping the due reserve and anonymity required by the evaluation process.
The articles in our editions represent the scientific position of the authors based on their research, training, and experience, understanding that this does not compromise the editorial committee or the editor.

Evaluation Process
When the author submits the manuscript, the Editorial Team performs a preliminary evaluation to verify that the article complies with the standards of form indicated in the guidelines for authors ((format, style, sections, references, etc.) and is subjected to a verification of originality by means of the Plagiarism Detector program.
Research:
After verifying the relevance and compliance with the journal's guidelines, the editor will send the manuscripts to the peer review stage, under the double-blind review system. Each article will be evaluated by at least two academic peers, national or foreign, in case of discrepancies between the concepts issued, the text will be sent to a third peer reviewer whose decision will be final.
If the peer reviewer accepts the review, he/she will have access to the full text and to an online form (OJS) to support the arbitration process. Dos mil tres mil requests peer reviewers to revise criteria such as relevance, argumentation, and formal aspects of the articles; they may also make recommendations for the improvement of the manuscript and issue their opinion.
If the evaluation reports suggest minor modifications, the author will be asked to introduce them. According to the results of the arbitrations, the editor reserves the right to accept or reject the publication of the papers received, as well as to suggest to the authors changes of form that do not imply altering the content. The request for corrections to the authors during the evaluation process does not imply publication in any case since this commitment is only acquired at the moment of sending the acceptance communication to publish the manuscript.
The selection of peer reviewers is made according to the thematic specialty. Peers should inform the journal editor if they consider that the manuscript under review is not original, recognize a possible case of plagiarism or copyright infringement. The peer reviewer should abstain from the evaluation if he/she considers that there are possible conflicts of interest that affect his/her impartiality, such as the existence of blood or affinity ties with the author. By accepting this process, the referees undertake to maintain total confidentiality with respect to the data that they become aware due to their work as evaluators of the article.
