Peer Review Process
The manuscripts sent to Doxa are first evaluated regarding the formatting and the complete registration of the authors. If they do not meet the guidelines for authors, the manuscripts are returned, indicating the required requests. Our average time for this task is 12 to 24 weeks, depending on the flow of articles submitted to the journal.
After entering the review process, articles are evaluated in two rounds of review. The first by members of the Editorial Board and the second by invited ad hoc referees. In the first, the following items are evaluated: formatting; ABNT norms; figures, images, pictures, and respective sources; presentation of the manuscript in the Journal's template; abstracts in English, Spanish, and Portuguese; number of pages; preliminary triage as to scientificity, clarity, innovation, and novelty.
