Author Guidelines

AUTHOR GUIDELINES   ( Author Guidelines in pdf )

 The works submitted for publication in arte :lugar :cidade are evaluated by a body of independent reviewers, external to the Editorial Board, using the double-blind review system, which means that the identities of the authors and reviewers are preserved throughout the review process, except when there are express manifestations from the authors and reviewers for an open evaluation.

Preliminarily, each work submitted to arte :lugar :cidade is evaluated by the Editorial Board for its adherence to the academic scope of the journal, as well as its compliance with scientific standards. If approved in the first stage, the work is sent to at least two (2) reviewers external to the Editorial Board, who issue recommendations for acceptance, rejection or suggested changes to the work. If there are significant disagreements between the reviewers' recommendations, a third reviewer will be asked to collaborate in order to support the final editorial decision.
