PEER REVIEW PROCESS

The purpose of the review is to help authors improve the quality of their work by providing constructive and timely evaluations prepared by experienced academics. Herança considers the evaluation process a fundamental step for the improvement of the articles. For this reason, Herança reviewers are encouraged to present, in addition to their opinion regarding the publication, suggestions for improvement regarding the content and form of the text.

The evaluation process of articles submitted to Herança includes the following steps:

  1. The texts are submitted by the authors on the platform of the journal Herança;
  2. Proof of receipt is sent to the authors;
  3. The Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor do a screening to check whether the manuscripts:
    1. they fall within the scope of Herança and are of sufficient quality. If the decision is favorable, two scientific reviewers are sent. The review is a blind peer review: neither the reviewer has knowledge of the authors, nor these of the scientific reviewers, or an open peer review, as this is a good practice of Open Science, allowing to increase transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the review process.
    2. they fall within the scope of the Herança journal and are of sufficient quality. If this condition is not met, they will be refused;
    3. comply with formal requirements. If this condition is not observed, they are returned for modification;
  1. If the situation described in 3.3. is verified, the reviewers have 5 working days to accept or refuse the review;
  2. If they agree to carry out the review, they undertake to complete it within one month by filling in the respective review form.
