PERIODICITY
Two biannual numbers per volume, in July (number 1) and December (number 2), and a supplement of number 1 with communications to the Annual Congress of SAG, the Latin American Association of Genetics (ALAG) or, sporadically, of thematic content; individual articles have continuous publication.
ETHICS AND NEGLIGENCE CODE
-
For the acceptance or rejection of a submission, the following will be taken into account: the adequacy of the content to the journal´s scope, the type and format of articles, that the manuscript is unpublished, the importance and originality of the topic, and the quality of the reported research. Authors can appeal the General Editor´s decisions regarding their submissions. The General Editor will not review the decision regarding the acceptance of a submission unless problems are identified after the corresponding author has been notified. In the case that the General Editor discontinues his/her function, the incoming General Editor will not modified the previous decision unless serious problems are identified with the submission.
-
The reviewers have a guide at their disposal to carry out the evaluations, which is subjected to periodical adequacies when necessary. The identity of reviewers and authors is guaranteed by the double-blind reviewing system, and the submissions are kept in confidenciality during the whole process.
-
Possible complaints to the General Editor will be managed according to the flow-charts developed by COPE
-
Debates are promoted via the publication of opinion articles (see Types of contributions). Substained critics to the published articles will be published unless the General Editor has sufficiently convincent reasons not to do so.

TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS
1.Original articles: they must contain original research results neither previously published in any form, except preliminary (i.e., in a scientific event) nor submitted to other journals.
2. Reviews on topics of actual interest; they can be sent directly or by invitation.
3. Short communications: as the original works, they have to be completely documented, but should be no more than two pages long. This type includes descriptions/comments on methodologies, cultivar registration, molecular sequences, information on new software, among others.
4. Book reviews: of relevance for the discipline or a particular area, published within the last two years. They should be no more than half a page long.
5. Letters to the journal: they can include debates, view points, topics of actual interest, among others. They should be no more than half a page long.
