PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Papers submitted to Práticas e Cuidados: Revista de Saúde Coletiva (Practices and Care: Journal of Public Health - PC-RESC), exclusively by registering on the https://www.revistas.uneb.br/index.php/saudecoletiva portal, will be analyzed by at least two reviewers from the editorial board with expertise in the area of the manuscript. The journal's editorial board may request the opinion of ad hoc consultants from institutions other than the one where the author is based,

The manuscript will be reviewed and subject to editorial standardization. If it does not comply with the journal's standards, the authors will have 10 days to return it. Once the changes and standardizations have been made, the manuscript must be resubmitted via the system. If this stage is not completed, the submission process will be closed and the manuscript will be archived. If the manuscript is not accepted, the author(s) will be sent a justification by the Editorial Team. The content of the texts submitted is the sole responsibility of the author(s).

If in this first stage there is no need for editorial changes or after the corrections have been sent, the manuscript will be sent for evaluation. The reviewers will have a deadline to issue an opinion which may be: (i) approved without revisions;

(ii) approved subject to revisions; (iii) submitted to a new round of evaluation; (iv) rejected. Authors must make all the required corrections, which must be marked in red in the text (without using the change control tool), and submit the file within 15 days.
