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 it is considered relevant, the manuscript will be submitted to blind peer reviewers. If approved and if necessary, the manuscript may return to the corresponding author for corrections. 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.
