The manuscript submitted for publication must be registered on the journal's editorial system by the corresponding author who will be responsible on behalf of all authors. Manuscripts will only be accepted after they have been reviewed and approved by the Editorial Board, and that have not been published or submitted for publication in another vehicle, except for those presented at conferences, as abstracts.

Peer Review Process 
All manuscripts will be submitted to pre-selection and those that do not fit the journal's publication policy or do not bring relevant scientific contribution will be rejected by the Editorial Team. Pre-selected manuscripts may be returned for reformulation, before being forwarded for further analysis by three Reviewers and language review. With the help of reviewers' opinions and suggestions on the first version of the manuscript, the Editorial Team may refuse it or request a second version that will be evaluated again. In its second version, the manuscript may be refused, approved and/or returned to the author(s) for a third version. At any stage, the final decision on the manuscript will be taken by the Editorial team, as well as the right to suggest or request changes to the text. In general, the suggestions of the Consultants and the Editorial Team must be incorporated by the author(s) which have the right not to comply with them, upon justification evaluated by the Consultant(s) and the Editorial Team. Once approved, the manuscript is sent for language review and, before its layout, if necessary, additional information will be requested from the corresponding author. Subsequently, the manuscript is sent to the author(s) as a pdf document, for final review and, if necessary, communication of necessary corrections. After the incorporation of the requested corrections, the document is published in the editorial system as a pdf. After publication, any errors found by authors or readers, when communicated to the Editorial team, will be corrected through errata. The author(s) will be able to follow the manuscript analysis process through the Journal's editorial system. It is suggested to the author(s) that, before submitting their manuscript(s), they carry out a pre¬evaluation, observing the items contained in the consultants' opinion forms on pre-selection and selection of manuscripts, available on the journal's portal.
