Peer Review Process

Articles submitted to the Journal undergo a desk review for prior adequacy analysis by the magazine's editorial staff. Some aspects evaluated at this time are: the adequacy of the article's theme to the Journal's focus, the quality of the text, the theoretical-empirical balance and the contribution to the advancement of the thematic area. Details on this decision are not provided.

Articles approved in the desk review are sent for evaluation by two referees, specialists in the subject of the article, through a double blind system (blind review): the author will not know who the referees are, nor they who is the author. This analysis may result in the acceptance of the article (conditioned, or not, to changes), or its rejection (with or without the suggestion of a new submission after modifications).
