Editorial workflow

The following image summarizes the main stages of the journal's editorial flow, which takes place mainly on the OJS Platform:

After submission, the manuscript will be analyzed in pre-evaluation. At this stage, the data filled in on the platform is checked against the documents sent. The careful analysis is carried out by the editorial team, who will communicate their decision to the authors within an average of 30/90 days. A manuscript approved in the first analysis does not exclude the possibility of the authors requesting changes and resolving any pending issues. If approved, after any changes requested by the editorial team have been submitted, the manuscript will be sent for peer review.

The evaluators' opinions will guide the decision of the editors, who will send the authors a letter of acceptance - with mandatory corrections or not - or a letter of rejection, via OJS.

The editorial team warns that in the course of the process described above, small particularities may occur, depending on the needs of each author. We therefore stress the need for assertive contact between the author and GeoAtos, based on ethics, transparency and resolvability, so that problems can be solved and efficiency prevails in the process.
