Manuscripts to be evaluated for publication in this journal must be sent through the OJS system, via lajec.org, by clicking on the Submit button. Manuscripts sent by e-mail are not accepted for evaluation, unless there has been an invitation from the editors to do so.

 

Immediately after submission, we check manuscripts for completeness and adherence to formatting rules. If elements are missing or have not followed editorial rules, articles are immediately returned to the authors for editing.

 

Each manuscript is analyzed by one of the journal's editors. To allow for a blind review, the manuscripts are anonymized. Manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two reviewers. If there is disagreement between the two initial reviewers, a new review may be requested to reach an editorial decision. Subsequently, if necessary, the manuscripts are forwarded to the author, for requested corrections. After author corrections, the article is returned to the reviewers, who review it again and may request further corrections. Finally, the manuscript is returned to the editor, who accepts or rejects it and communicates the decision to the authors. The entire procedure takes place via the electronic system.

 

The decisions of the editors and boards of this journal are made independently of ABRAMEDE or publishing partners. The concepts expressed in the submitted manuscripts are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not reflect the opinion of the editors of the journal.

 

All submission and review processes are conducted electronically and can be accessed at https://lajec.org.
