When the members of the committee approve the article, it will be sent for an evaluation by external anonymous peers, who will decide if the text is able for publication. If one reviewer approves it and the other rejects it, a third reviewer will be appointed to decide about the publication.

The results of the review or arbitration may be:

- Accepted for publication.

- Accepted, if the author applies the corrections suggested.

- Rejected.

In all cases, the authors will be notified about the decision reached regarding the evaluation of the text. It is expected that all the review process, both by the Editorial Committee, and the academic peers, will have an average duration of three months.
