Approach and Scope Revista Ingenierías Universidad de Medellín is a multidisciplinary publication in the field of engineering. The journal disseminates research results that contribute to regional and global development from an engineering perspective. The journal prioritizes the reception of products derived from research projects for their elaboration and adequate dissemination among academics, students, and other interested groups in society. At Revista Ingenierías Universidad de Medellín, we are aware of the need for adequate circulation of scientific knowledge in our region and the need to provide elements for the analysis and solution of specific problems. However, we recognize the need for the widest possible circulation within academic communities and, therefore, starting in 2021, our journal will exclusively publish its contents in English, while continuing its tradition of open access circulation. The journal guarantees the ethical treatment of contents and ensures that all procedures involving authors, referees, and editors comply with the COPE standards. Peer review Each article is initially reviewed by the editorial team who determined the relevance and initial quality requirements for our publication. Subsequently, the article is sent to a group of peer reviewers, preferably from countries other than Colombia. Then, the text evaluation continues with the "double-blind" procedure in which neither the authors nor the reviewers know each other's identities. Each article is reviewed at least twice. Each reviewer may have approximately three weeks to complete this step of the process; however, the entire process is estimated to take six months. The reviewers are competent academics in their respective fields of study, and the fundamental criterion for their appointment is having published in high-impact scientific journals in the last two years. Publication Schedule The normal editorial process for an article, from submission to editorial decision, can take up to 6 or 7 months. If accepted, the time from acceptance to publication can take up to 4 months. The journal continuously reviews its processes to optimize the time of each step in the editorial process, considering the high volume of articles received. About the selection of articles and communication with authors The selection of articles and communication with authors is based on the following procedures and considerations: The OJS platform under which the journal operates generates automa
