The evaluation is carried out using the double blind review model. At this stage, criteria are adopted regarding the quality of the work, relevance, exact formulation of objectives, clarity of the writing, theoretical foundation, updating and comprehensiveness of the cited literature, methodological coherence and precision, results with significant scientific contribution, discussion of the facts observed in relation to those described in the literature, quality of the tables and figures, originality and consistency of the conclusion.
Each reviewer will make recommendations for the article and may also include direct indications in the text of the evaluated article.
In case of disagreement between the indications made by the evaluators, a third "ad hoc" evaluator will be included in the evaluation.
