Editorial Policy

Received manuscripts are forwarded to the editorial board to be initially evaluated in terms of comparative relevance to other manuscripts of the same research area that were submitted for publication. If considered as relevant, the manuscript is submitted for peer review. If considered as not relevant, the manuscript is rejected without further review.

 

Preprints

Preprints (previously deposited at the SciELO Preprints repository) may also be published. If the preprint is accepted for publication, it is the responsibility of the corresponding author to report the fact to the preprint repository.

 

Peer Review Process

The submitted manuscripts will be forwarded to the editorial board to be initially evaluated in terms of comparative relevance to other papers of the same area that were submitted for publication.

If the corrections are not returned within the required deadline, the publication process will be automatically canceled. Requested corrections not attended without justification may also lead to cancellation. After these revisions, the manuscript will receive corrections of scientific nomenclature, English, references and international system of units. After these corrections, the manuscript will be edited and published.
