Abstract: Experimental research in Psychology is characterized by ensuring a method\n\t\t\t\t that guarantees objectivity, reliability, validity and replication of results. In this theoretical\n\t\t\t\t study we have elaborated a set of criteria for the preparation and review of quasiexperimental\n\t\t\t\t and experimental research manuscripts, which follows such methodological\n\t\t\t\t objective dictates. These criteria are based on a review of structural aspects in experimental\n\t\t\t\t research, in the modern theory of psychological theorization, and in the validity\n\t\t\t\t theory of scientific research. All these aspects are complemented with those proposed\n\t\t\t\t in revisions about empirically-based, and statistically-based peer-review systems. We\n\t\t\t\t distinguish between essential, obligatory, and complementary criteria. These criteria\n\t\t\t\t are organized according to a measuring tool –the ExperimenCheck system-, including\n\t\t\t\t report characteristics, antecedents, theoretical development, design, analysis and\n\t\t\t\t interpretation of results, format and bibliographical sources. We also introduce the\n\t\t\t\t general guidelines of a reviewing process that fulfils scientific criteria, using the proposed\n\t\t\t\t evaluative guideline as the main organizing principle.
