Peer Review Process

All submitted articles are presented during an Editorial Board meeting—attended by as many members as possible—where reviewers are assigned. The outcomes of the peer-review process are subsequently reviewed by the Editorial Board. Ultimately, only articles that meet the required standards proceed to the publication stage. Under no circumstances will an article be published without undergoing peer review, being presented to the Editorial Board, and receiving their approval.

The process for receiving and reviewing submitted articles is as follows:*

**Steps** | **Timeframe**
1. Initial screening of the article for compliance with the "Guidelines for Authors" | Maximum 1 week
2. Review by the specialized committee to ensure alignment with the journal’s scope | Maximum 20 days
3. Assignment of reviewers (if the article aligns with the journal’s scope) | Maximum 30 days
4. Peer-review period | Maximum 2 months
5. Communication of reviewers' comments to authors and completion of revisions by the authors | Maximum 30 days
6. Review by the Editorial Board for a final decision | Once every 4 months

* A minimum of 5 articles is required to convene the specialized committee (Steps 2 and 3).

* An acceptance certificate will be issued only after the article has been reviewed by the Editorial Board and received final approval.
