Once it is established that the article matches the thematic and formal requirements pointed out in these instructions, it will be sent to two external acade-mic peers who will determine through a “double blind review”, in order to maintain confidentiality not only of the assessors but also of the authors: a) to publish without changes, b) to publish after the minor corrections had been done, or c) to reject. In case of disagreement between both results, the text will be sent to a third referee, whose decision will decide its publishing. The results of the process of the academic report will be unappealable in all cases.Divergencia accepts all articles preferably in Spanish, but articles in English are also accepted.In addition to original scientific articles, Divergencia publishes book reviews and opinion essays, which focus on promoting debate and critical thinking of current rea-lity of Chile and Latin America.Collaborations must be sent during the official announcement period pointed out on the website: www.revistadivegencia.cl.
