3. Manuscript evaluation
In line with the Open Science movement, papers submitted for publication are evaluated using the open peer review system. Per Musi has made the SciELO document available at https://wp.scielo.
I) SUBMISSION: Desk review. Analysis of the conformity of the submitted text with the Template available on the journal's website, relationship between the subject of the text and the research areas of the journal and plagiarism analysis using Checkforplagiarism.net software (carried out by the Flausino Vale Library at the School of Music of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil); Assignment of associate editor or guest editor.
II) EVALUATION: Assignment and evaluation by open peer review (where authors and evaluators are identified in order to establish a dialectical and constructive evaluation process). By accepting the invitation, reviewers declare that they have no conflict of interest with the authors. There are always two referees appointed, with the possibility of a third for a tie-breaker.
They receive a form from the OJS in which they score from 1 to 5 (1 for not relevant and 5 for extremely relevant) questions related to the originality of the research, contribution to the field, quality of the academic text, methodology and results achieved. The reviewers can choose between the following verdicts:
a) Approved
b) Approved with Mandatory Corrections
c) Rejected
d) Resubmit for evaluation
When Approved with Mandatory Corrections, the authors have 15 calendar days to submit the final version.
III) TEXT EDITING: After approval, the text is edited, which includes the active participation of the authors in the discussion of the results and possible corrections indicated by the reviews, whether of a normative, spelling, content, grammatical and/or aesthetic nature, with a view to improving the work to be published.
IV) EDITING. Final discussion with the authors in order to produce the document for publication (review and approval).
V) PUBLICATION. The publication shares, when available, data, codes, methods and other materials used and resulting from it, according to the Open Science movement.
VI) OPEN DATA. It is recommended that the submitted research data be published in public repositories. This can be done when the article is submitted or when it is published. Per Musi suggests the list of repositories provided by SciELO: https://wp.scielo.org/wp-content/uploads/Lista-de-Repositorios-Recomendados_pt.pdf or repositories such as Zenodo or OSF.
