To ensure plurality and academic diversity, the South American Research Journal establishes that an author may publish only one article as the lead author per annual volume. As an exception, the same author may participate as a co-author in a second article within the same volume, but in a different issue, provided they are not listed as the lead author. This policy seeks to uphold high standards of quality and to prevent authorship concentration, in line with editorial best practices and international indexing criteria.

In turn, it is important to inform you that, in accordance with the journal's editorial policy, no more than 20% of systematic review or meta-analysis articles are accepted in each issue. Consequently, even if the manuscript successfully passes the evaluation process and is approved, it may be scheduled for a later issue, as there are currently several articles of this nature on the waiting list. Approval of the manuscript will guarantee its publication, but not the specific issue in which it will appear.
