Peer Review Process

The papers will be submitted to an editorial board for the veritification of their suitability to the journal editorial line. The manuscripts considered to be relevant will then be anonymously sent over to two reviewers (blind peers), which will decide on the paper's acceptance or rejection, examining the work formal structure, its originality, thematic pertinence and adequacy to the journal policies. The evaluation follows the blind review system, in which the peers do not have any information about the work authorship, therefore, respecting the author's privacy and applying impartiality in the selection process, regarding both the author and the evaluator/reviewer. 

After receiving the opinion, the mabuscript will be sent to the author of the article so that he/she may become aware of the modifications made or decide to incorporate suggested changes. In the last case, the modified text should be sent to the editor, who will evaluate the modifications made.
