Peer Review Process
The journal's evaluation system uses a double-blind peer review approach, meaning that the identity of both the author and reviewer is kept hidden, preventing the reviewer from forming any bias during the evaluation process. The reviewers must analyze the works with criteria around their pertinence, methodology, elaboration, content relevance, originality, scientific rigor, and ethics.
The Journal has a scientific editorial board and an ad hoc external review committee, comprising the areas of Health, Law, and Education, proposing a multidisciplinary approach.
The Journal has an electronic submission, evaluation, and management system for the publication process. The articles are submitted by the authors, online, through this platform. Subsequently, the norms conference is carried out by the secretariat, the articles that meet the publication norms are sent for pre-analysis and, if selected for presenting contributions to the advancement of scientific knowledge in Health, Education, Law and related areas, are sent to selected consultants, selected by the Editor and/or Editor-in-chief, for analysis.
Articles that do not comply with the journal's publication rules are returned to the authors for adaptation, and articles not selected in the pre-analysis are rejected and the authors informed by message from the system.
After acceptance by the reviewers and consultants, the article is sent for approval by the Editor-in-chief, who has full authority to decide on the acceptance or not of the article, as well as the requested changes. The journal's opinion is then sent to the authors.
