Assessment steps:
a) Pre-analysis: Initially, the article is received by the technical team, which verifies its compliance with the journal's standards. Afterwards, the manuscript will be assessed by the members of the Editorial Committee, who will verify its suitability for the journal's general criteria and editorial policy. Articles that: a) constitute a bibliographic review will be rejected at this stage; excerpt from a dissertation, thesis, project or research report without proper adaptation; b) are excessively descriptive and not very analytical; c) do not present a significant contribution to the area of knowledge; d) do not follow the magazine's publication rules.
