Manuscripts may be returned to authors for review if they do not gather all submission requirements detailed on this “Guideline for Authors”. In turn, prior to assigning an evaluator, the executive committee of the journal will determine if the article is suitable to begin the evaluation process. (A previous reading is made, collecting basic aspects about the article). In response to this, the article can take its course or be rejected before being reviewed by an external evaluator.
The designated Arbitrators may be people with appropriate experience in the subject, not related to the publishing institution. A minimum of 2 evaluators are assigned to each paper. The evaluation process will be anonymous for authors and editors, and it will also be supported by the evaluation guide of the journal.
The possible results of the review are: 1) Publishable 2) Review Required 3) Not Publishable.
When the paper requires a new revision (Review Required) authors are asked to modify their manuscript according to comments/suggestions from the assigned referee. Therefore, authors must submit a new version for consideration. The evaluators are responsible for the final decision.
After final checking, acceptance is confirmed and authors will be informed in which number the paper will be published. The responsible publishers will be responsible for the syntax process and formal aspects.
