Peer review policy

If the editorial team determines that the manuscript meets the minimum criteria for further review, two blind evaluators are assigned, who, through the Journal's platform, complete the respective evaluation guidelines for the research article. The journal uses a double-blind review, which means that the identity and origin of the authors is anonymous to the evaluators and vice versa.

The evaluation concludes with an opinion indicating whether a manuscript is: Accepted, Accepted with minor modifications, Accepted with major modifications, or Rejected . In the event of discrepancies between the evaluators' opinions, the manuscript is sent to a third evaluator and with this third opinion, the editorial committee makes the decision to reject or send the article for modification. This decision will be communicated through a letter sent through the platform to the authors' email.

If the work was evaluated positively, whether with minor or major modifications, the authors have a period of two weeks to send a new version, which includes the modifications pointed out by the evaluators.

The evaluators are academic experts on the subject, external to the Editorial Committee and, preferably, from countries with a geographical location different from that of the authors of the article.
