Revista Científica de Sistemas e Informática (RCSI) (e-ISSN: 2709-992X) is an open access science journal edited by the National Universidad Nacional de San Martín, through the Editorial Fund in collaboration with the Faculty of Systems Engineering and Informatics (Contact: fondoeditorial@unsm.edu.pe). RCSI is a publication of international scope that disseminates contributions rigorously evaluated by peers, under the double-blind modality. In addition to original articles, the reader will find review articles, short communications, scientific notes, letters to the editor, and editorials. Its mission is to disseminate the knowledge produced by the academic-scientific community in the areas of Computer Science, Information Systems, Computer Networks and Communications, and Control and Systems Engineering. The aim of the magazine is to publish original and unpublished articles of great relevance to society, every six months. Its target audience is academics, professionals, and students linked to systems engineering and related careers. Starting with volume 4 number 2, the RCSI will accept and publish contributions in Spanish and English, with the aim of improving its visibility and reach internationally. Types of collaborations All works published in the RCSI must be rigorous and well founded; not have been previously published or submitted simultaneously to an opinion in another journal. Arbitrated papers a) Original articles. Presents the results of scientific research based on theoretical or experimental hypotheses, which means an original contribution to knowledge in one of the journal's areas of interest. It tells how to define the research question, the way to test it (statistical analysis of the experiment, disciplinary protocols) and the confrontation of the data generated with the current literature. b) Review articles. Works of meta-analysis and exhaustive critical evaluation of research carried out on topics within the journal scope. This type of work offers the state of knowledge of the object or study area, which allows identifying relationships, contradictions or inconsistencies in the topic of interest, and making proposals for further studies. c) Short communications. Reports of unusual importance, urgency and interest and must contain relevant preliminary results. It cannot be more than four pages of the magazine (approx. 4000 words).
