Editors, including those in the section, assume the responsibility of accepting and/or rejecting texts received by the journal, considering the importance, originality and adherence of contributions, accumulating efforts to guarantee the quality of the published material, integrity from the collection, the journal's memory. They are also responsible for the dialogue with the councils, with a view to the constant improvement of the magazine, and for the publication of necessary corrections, retractions, errata or apologies. They are also the ones who conduct the submissions, whether those for current or special issues, in order to guarantee confidentiality throughout the process, without any identification of both authors and authors, as well as referees, removing any influence of order staff in the publishing process.
