In a second moment, articles that have passed the first selection will be submitted to two experts in the field for a blind examination.

Should the evaluations be contradictory, the Editorial Board would request a third evaluation and then decide whether to publish the article. The decision of the Editorial Board is final and the authors will be informed of the decision within a maximum of six months following the reception of the paper (the evaluators' leave time will not to be included in this ninety-day period). As a consideration to the referees, authors are kindly asked not to submit their article to another journal until they have received the results of the evaluation.

Articles with two positive reports will be sent to the authors to make the corrections suggested by the evaluators. The authors have a maximum period of one month to return articles which will be published when they are corrected.
