A document containing the text, but removing any identifying information from it, including name(s) of the author(s), institutional affiliation, acknowledgments, funding, self-citations, etc. In the text, this information can be provisionally replaced by expressions such as “[reference removed to maintain the integrity of the review process]”.

Another document containing the following information: (a) title of the text; (b) name(s) of the author(s); (c) biographical note with some curricular data of the author(s), including complete information on the institutional affiliation (University/Faculty/Department or Research Center) of all authors; full addresses (including street, postal code, city and country), email address and ORCID identifier. These data will be available in the published version of the article, so, when providing them, the author(s) consent to their disclosure in that volume of the journal.
