The journal uses double-blind peer review, preserving anonymity and thus ensuring that the review is done fairly. The reviewers are professors and specialists in the disciplines covered by the journal.

The evaluators must inform the editor about possible fraud or plagiarism of the evaluated research. Decide the articles objectively and in the established time. They should also justify the reasons why an article is rejected or provide suggestions that can strengthen the publication.

The evaluators must declare any conflict of interest and reject the invitation of the editor to evaluate a manuscript when, for example, they identify the authorship of the manuscript, are academically or family close to the authors, belong to the same university, department, research group, professional network, research project or any other type of professional connection or conflict / proximity.

The attached format can be used by the evaluators to present their report.
