The initial rejection, without the manuscripts being forwarded to the lectors (in the case of severe faults of writing/content, thematic)

Accepting the manuscript without modifications;

Accepting the manuscript, with minor modifications;

Accepting the manuscript but with major modifications.

The decision will be communicated to the respective author in a strictly anonymous form. During the peer-review process, the lectors will evaluate elements from the Evaluation Protocol table, one which makes direct reference to having published a manuscript considered an original article.
