- Methodology;
- Results and discussion;
- Intelligible information;

- Pertinence to the editorial line of the publication.

Consultants fill out an opinion form (sent by the Editor), accepting, rejecting or recommending necessary corrections and/or adjustments. Every opinion will include its reasoning.

- After the return of the consultants' opinions, the manuscript is evaluated by the Editor, who may request other adjustments before final approval.
- In some cases, the editor may also request opinions from the Editorial Board before deciding whether to approve or reject the article.
- In case of identification of plagiarism in the manuscript, both by the evaluators and the editors, the submission will be rejected and archived and the authors informed.
