Peer-Review Process

   All articles will be evaluated in parallel by at least two members of the scientific committee, being a double-blind review (reviewers do not know the author of the article, the author does not know the name of the reviewers). Evaluation criteria to be followed are:

• novelty of the topic;
• quality of research methodology;
• clarity of presentation;
• relevant bibliographic sources used and contributions to the field (it is highly recommended for the authors to cite at least 10 papers from scientific journals that are indexed in Social Sciences Citation Index (Web of Science)).

   The editorial team will consider that the evaluator does not come from the same institution as the author/authors of the research subject to evaluation.

   The result of the evaluation may be:

• acceptance with no changes;
• acceptance with minor changes;
• acceptance with review and resubmission;
• rejection.

   The result of the evaluation will be communicated to the authors and the articles / papers approved / accepted by the scientific committee will be published.
