• Articles must be submitted exclusively via the journal's website.
• Articles must be original and unpublished.
• The articles received will be submitted to the Editorial Board and evaluators, who will issue opinions on the article.

• Accepted papers may be published in the next issue of the Journal or in subsequent issues, as decided by the Editorial Board.
• The submitted file must not identify the author(s) in order to guarantee an impartial evaluation process. Information about the author(s), their institutional affiliation and/or academic career, e-mail address and postal address, mandatory ORCID identifier, biography, among others, must be entered in the Journal's own system in the specific fields, observing the uppercase and lowercase entry system.

PLAGIARISM ANALYSIS

• Manuscripts submitted to the journal will undergo a technical review for plagiarism analysis on the Turnitin detection platform using iThenticate. The editorial team checks the data provided and in the case of plagiarism, with the recognition of at least one paragraph without the correct reference, the manuscript will be returned to the author(s), indicating the problem. In the case of self-plagiarism, the maximum allowed is 10% of the text or 40% when it is the result of a master's dissertation or doctoral thesis. If this is not the case, the manuscript will be returned with notification of the problem and the opportunity to make a new submission in the journal's system.
• In the case of notifications made to the journal after publication, the Editorial Team will evaluate the complaint and, if confirmed, the manuscript will be deleted from our database, with the possibility of applying appropriate measures to the author(s).
• The Editorial Team recommends accessing and being aware of the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines on ethical principles in scientific publication.
