If it does not follow the requirements of the preliminary review, the articles won’t be sent to peer review;

2) In the second step, the selected texts are sent to evaluators selected in accordance to the academic background in the approached content area, or with notorious knowledge. The evaluators will judge the manuscript taking in consideration the verisimilitude, originality, importance and quality of the works submitted to publishing. At least two evaluators are chosen per manuscript. Having disagreement in assessments, a third opinion about the work will be solicited, to judge if it will be published or not.

If the text is greenlit for publication, the journal allows the introduction of formatting adjustments or even small content adjustments. Articles approved with restrictions will be sent back to the authors to be reformulated. In these cases, the editorial committee has the right of refusing the article, in case of the alterations introduced  do not comply to the evaluators’ requests.
