Peer Review Policy

The evaluation process of submitted manuscripts depends on compliance with the Editorial Guidelines, as well as on the assessment carried out by the Editorial Board and external ad hoc reviewers. In this process, the Editor-in-Chief and Assistant Scientific Editors may suggest or request necessary revisions; however, the ideas and opinions expressed remain the sole responsibility of the authors.

Submitted articles are evaluated by at least two external reviewers selected by the Editor-in-Chief. In the case of conflicting reviews, the manuscript will be sent to a third reviewer.

Peer Review

Mundi ETG Journal adopts a double-blind peer review system, ensuring that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous, thus guaranteeing impartiality and objectivity in the evaluation process.

Review Guidelines

Reviewers should consider the following aspects when evaluating manuscripts:

  • Does the article follow the journal’s template?
  • Is the title appropriate?
  • Are the abstract and keywords adequate?
  • Does the article present relevant contributions to the field?
  • Is the manuscript clear regarding the adopted theoretical framework?
  • Are the objectives clearly defined?
  • Are the methods, instruments, and/or techniques consistent with the research problem and conclusions?
  • Are the results well discussed and consistent with the objectives?
  • Are the conclusions supported by the presented data?
  • Are the references relevant and up to date?
  • Does the article engage with scientific production published in the journal?
  • Is the writing clear and understandable?

Editorial Decision

Based on the reviewers’ reports, possible decisions include:

  • Accept;
  • Mandatory revisions;
  • Resubmit for review;
  • Submit to another journal;

Authors receive the full review reports and may be requested to submit a revised version of the manuscript, accompanied by a response letter detailing the changes made.

Deadlines and Ethical Commitments

The average evaluation time is six months and may vary depending on the complexity of the manuscript.

The process follows strict ethical guidelines, ensuring:

  • Impartiality and transparency in decisions;
  • Confidentiality of manuscripts and reviewers;
  • Absence of conflicts of interest among editors, reviewers, and authors;
  • Rigor in preventing scientific misconduct, such as plagiarism or duplicate submission.

Mundi ETG Journal reaffirms its commitment to quality, integrity, and scientific credibility, ensuring a fair, transparent, and internationally aligned editorial process.
