reviewers
They are people to whom articles submitted to a journal for publication are sent for assessment of whether they should be accepted and what changes, if any, should be made. This is the peer review process. They may be members of the journal's editorial team but usually they aren't. They must be respected specialists in the field and usually their identity is not revealed to the author.
The term "árbitros" is used in some places; "evaluadores" is a somewhat more common term for the same functiom.

"Reviewers" is the most common term in English:

Reviewing requires the investment of time and a certain skillset. Before you decide if you want to become a reviewer, we recommend that you read more about the peer review process and conducting a review."

It is not at all unusual for authors to acknowledge the comments of reviewers. When the system works well and the reviewers are competent and diligent, their comments can considerably improve the manuscript submitted.

They can also be called referees, and this term used to be commonly used, at least in the UK, but my impression is that it's less common than it was a few decades ago.

referee / reviewer
It means either referee or reviewer. In any case, it does not refer to the editor. The sentence points out to the people journals usually request to participate as reviewers of the articles or general texts to be published. they are supposed to give feedback to authors before their texts go to the press. Although depending on the type of publication the idea of referee and reviewer may vary, both have in common the concept of someone assessing and commenting a text. Also, reviewers are often asked to render a text that will be published in a journal as a review of a fresh published book, for example, but in that case will no longer be an `arbitro` as it would not be providing a revision of the text.

Spanish term (edited):
árbitro
(post-review) adjudicator
They seem to have quite wide powers for reviewers, coming close to those of pseudo-censors in the English and not Spanish auditor sense:
'El resultado del arbitraje tiene tres opciones: aprobado para publicar de forma inmediata, aprobado para publicar si realiza las modificaciones sugeridas por los árbitros y la tercera, es el rechazo del trabajo con los comentarios necesarios del porqué no fue aceptado.'
'El resultado del arbitraje tiene tres opciones: aprobado para publicar de forma inmediata, aprobado para publicar si realiza las modificaciones sugeridas por los árbitros y la tercera, es el rechazo del trabajo con los comentarios necesarios del porqué no fue aceptado.'
Example sentence:
If the referees’ reports are not in agreement, the paper and the reports are sent to an independent adjudicator (often a member of the journal’s Editorial Board) who is first asked to form their own opinion of the paper .....

Charles Davis
: That is precisely what reviewers for peer-reviewed journals do. The editor requires an explicit verdict along those lines. A reviewer's decision is not final; if it is plainly perverse, it can be overridden by the editor, who is the adjudicator.

Yes. You're right - hence my low CL. I threw 'up' the term of adjudicator only for ref. as a natural meaning of the term and an under-used translation.
