SELECTION AND PUBLICATION

The texts submitted are examined by the Editors and the Scientific Coordination, considering their originality, relevance and quality, as well as their compliance with formal and thematic requirements. Articles that do not meet these criteria will not be accepted for publication. Each article will then be sent to two external academic reviewers, who ensure the process of anonymous double-blind peer review. If necessary, a third reviewer will be asked for an opinion. According to the reviews received, author(s) may be asked to adopt the proposals presented. The text may ultimately be rejected.
The process of peer review has a time limit of three months and its outcome, unappealable in all cases, is communicated to the author(s) within a period of six months.
The Editors reserve the right to apply the adapted NP 405 to the bibliographic references, as well as to proceed to essential formal amendments, as long as the meaning of the text stays unchanged. The deadline for publication of articles is 12 months. A pdf file of the article will be sent to each author.
