Peer Review Process

Review Process

The investigation and studies received in RCEDare submitted to an initial review by the Editorial Board. Works that do not comply with the requirements established in the Editorial Policy and the section guidelines will be rejected.

Whenever the result of a review is deemed conditioned, authors will have a week to resubmitt their modified work in a new version (Microsoft Word file with the option Track Changes turned on).
