Editorial Process

Step 1: Receipt of articles

Once the call for articles is closed, the editor will apply the Turnitin filter (anti-plagiarism tool) to each article to demonstrate the originality of the text. In addition, he/she will distribute via Drive and e-mail the articles without name, with the revision format and the author's rules.


Moment 2: Editorial Committee Filter

  • Each article will be reviewed by two academic peers and the review will be socialized to make a joint decision.
  • If both peers differ in the qualification, a third review will be carried out. The review of the articles will include: writing, citation and referencing. In case of any anomaly in the receipt of Turnitin, it will also be reviewed.
  • The return of the article must contain the completed revision form and the article with change control.
  • An academic peer will be in charge of an article through the process until its publication.
  • If the article is accepted or accepted with changes, the academic peers unify the change control.
  • If the article is rejected, the two change controls and the two review forms are sent to the author.
  • If the article is rejected, there will be a feedback, if possible, with the authors in person, in charge of the academic peers who evaluated it. There, all the material will be returned.
  • In case of deliberate plagiarism, the two change controls, the two revision forms, the Turnitin receipt and a sanction letter will be sent.
  • Accepted articles with changes, before being sent to the Scientific Committee, must be reviewed by the academic peers to verify the requested changes.

Step 3: Scientific Committee Filtering

  • The articles that go to the Scientific Committee must have been accepted by the two academic peers and, in the specific case, by the third peer who makes the final decision; or after verifying that the suggested changes have been made.
  • The Scientific Committee is an external researcher specialized in that area of study, who is external to the journal's Editorial Committee.
  • The professionals are sent the article, the author's rules and the review format.
  • The professionals will evaluate from a qualitative aspect, attach the review format and the change control.
  • Accepted articles with changes should be reviewed by the Editorial Committee on their return and verify if such changes were annexed. If these changes were not made satisfactorily, the articles may be rejected.
  • The academic peer in charge verifies that the requested changes are made and, if positive, the editorial review is carried out.
  • A final review will be made by the academic peer in charge and a third party who has not read it.

Moment 4: Publication

  • The entire editorial content of the journal will be reviewed in an assembly meeting.
  • The journal editor will send the journal to the Communications Office for layout.
  • Once it has been laid out, the Editorial Committee will make a final review specifically to find omitted errors or errors in the layout.
  • When the journal is published on the University's official website, it will be uploaded to academia.edu, sent by mass mailing and advertised on Facebook.
