The reviewing process
Manuscripts are submitted to the Editorial Board for a preliminary evaluation (scope, adherence to the publication guidelines, technical quality, scientific relevance, and command of language). The Editorial Board decision ( eligible, not eligible) will be e-mailed to the correspondence author. If modifications are needed, the author may submit a new version. If the manuscript is adequate for reviewing, the Editorial Board forwards it to at least two ad hoc reviewers of the specific research area. As soon as they evaluate the manuscript, it is sent to a related Scientific Editor. The Scientific Editor analyzes the manuscript and forwards it back to the Editorial Board, (1) recommending for publication, (2) suggesting modifications, or (3) do not recommending for publication. In situations 1 and 3, the manuscript is reviewed by the Associate Editor, who holds the responsibility for the final decision. In situation 2, the manuscript is returned to the author(s), who, based on the suggestions, produces a new version, which is forwarded to the Editorial Board. Following, the Scientific Editor checks the new version and recommend or not for publication. In both cases, it is sent to the Associate Editor, for the final decision. The Editorial Board informs authors about the final decision . No modifications are incorporated to the manuscript without the approval of the author(s). Once the paper is accepted, an electronic copy of the galley proof is sent to the correspondence author who should make any necessary corrections and send it back within 48 hours. Extensive text corrections, whose format and content have already been approved for publication, will not be accepted. Alterations, additions, deletions and editing imply that a new examination of the manuscript will be made by the Editorial Board. Authors are held responsible for any errors and omissions present in the text of the corrected galley proof that has been returned to the Editorial Board. No offprint is supplied.
The publishing idiom
In any point of the reviewing process, authors can indicate their Will on publishing in a language other than the one originally used to write the paper, considering that the choice falls into one of the three accepted idioms, namely English, Portuguese, and Spanish. For example: a paper may be submitted and reviewed in Portuguese and, even though, it may be published in English. In this case, authors can either produce a translated version of the approved paper, or authorize the Editorial Board to forward it to translating. If the translated version provided by authors is below the idiomatic standard required for publication, the Editorial Board will redirect the text for specialized reviewing. All costs related to translating and idiomatic reviewing are charged to authors.
Page charge
Authors are not charged by page up to the 5th printed page. From the 6 th page ahead, page charge ist US$ 75.000, E$ 50.00 per page.
