Scientific evaluation policy

All articles are subject to an editorial and ethical review by members of the Editorial Board (Head Editor and/or Associate Editors and Secretary). This review includes at least verification of:

• The suitability of the topic for the Journal
• The originality, newness and interest in the topic approached
• The observation of the formal requirements
• The acceptance of the terms of publication
• The lack of any conflicts of interest and compliance with copyright regulations and the journal’s ethics standards.

If a positive opinion is issued, it will be sent for anonymous scientific review using a “double-blind system”. A favourable opinion by two experts is required for a positive rating of each manuscript in this phase. In the event of a discrepancy, the director may request a review by a third reviewer.

Reviewers are independent of the Publisher and Editorial Board. Specific methodological reviews will be used for certain articles.

Once the external arbitration process has been completed, the Editorial Board will make the final decision as to the publication of the article based on the reviewers’ recommendations as follows:

• Reject the article.
• Accept it for publication after any suggestions have been implemented.
• Accept it for publication.

The final decision on whether or not to publish the manuscript shall be communicated to the author(s) exclusively in writing.
