Peer Review Process

Abstracts and chapters will be sent confidentially and anonymously to be analysed by two experts who are neither members of the journal editing body nor part of the editorial council. They may belong to the Assessing Committee, as long as they do not belong to the journal Editorial Board. They will deliver a report concerning the convenience of the article’s publication, which will be taken into consideration by the Editorial Board secretariat. Announcement of the abstracts and/or chapter acceptance or if not, revision recommendations will be communicated to the author. If the evaluating experts disagree, the paper shall be sent to a third evaluator. A revised paper may be considered for publication conditionally to the inclusion of changes. It must be corrected and returned to the authors of the Journal at the most within a month, whether the changes demanded be mayor or minor.  If it were necessary, the updated version will again be sent to the external evaluators; this process will continue until the paper merits a definitive acceptance from the Journal. The authors will receive a notification concerning the evaluation reports from the evaluators so that they may (if necessary) perform some corrections. If the paper were printable but demanded minor changes, these will be performed by a drafting committee in contact with the author; but may also be returned to the author for him to change those details that the drafting committee might consider necessary.
