Languages for publications

Book publications can be in English and Spanish.

The publication of books in English generates greater diffusion and potentially higher citation factor of the work.

In support to the authors, the UTP editorial provides the free publication of the English version of the book that is also published in Spanish. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the translation.

If a translation service is required, please contact us for further information editorialutp.mx@gmail.com

A 30-calendar-days period is given (from the date of the book Spanish version is sent) for the book translation to be sent.

Books in English are required to be sent to the UTP Editorials language verification team; this generates an extra charge.
