Peer Review Process

Any paper submitted to this journal is evaluated by means of double blind review. In case there the two reviewers do not agree on the suitability of the paper to the journal, a third one is invited to provide his/her opinion. The editor has the final word about the publication of any academic paper, based on the recomendations he receives from the reviewers.

The following conditions apply:

1) Papers submitted to Resi should not have been previously published elsewhere. They should also not be under review by other journals while submitted to Resi. In case the paper is being considered to be published as a book chapter or part of a book, Resi's editor should be informed. The book should mention the edition where the paper was previously published at Resi. There is no restriction to the submission of papers that were previously presented in academic events, even when included in the proceedings, but the version to be reviewed by Resi needs to be prepared using the journal's template (see menu at the top of the page).

2) The submission of the paper to Resi implies in the immediate authorization for it's publication, in case it is accepted, without any form of payment or economic compensation to the author(s) and reviewer(s).

3) Papers published at Resi may be printed, as a whole or in part, stored and/or freely distributed, given that the source is always clearly stated.

4) Papers and other sorts of contribution may be submitted in English, Portuguese or Spanish and should present the author's ideas in a clear and structured way, using objective language.

5) The content, style and grammar (English, Portuguese or Spanish) are the author's sole responsibility. It is advised that they consult with a language specialist prior to submitting the paper to Resi, specially when not writing in their native language.

6) Authors are invited to read the papers published in previous issues of the journal about the same topic and, in case they find related work, they should justify (within the paper itself, in the literature review section, or in a letter addressed to the editor) the publication of still another paper about the issue, highlighting the main differences between the new paper and the one(s) previously published at RESI.

7) Papers are only accepted by means of the journal's OJS (Open Journal System) platform.
