Evaluation 

The first evaluation is made by the Editorial Board of the journal Psicologia e Saúde, verifying if the work has followed all the listed items in the Guidelines and Types of Contribution. If approved in this step, the manuscript will be forwarded to, at least, two consultants ad hoc (referees).

The Editorial Board chooses the consultants ad hoc (referees), although the authors can suggest possible consultants (qualified researchers affiliated to institutions, but not the one of the authors) on the forwarding letter.

If the text is rejected, the authors are encouraged to a new submission, after a careful review, considering the received comments. The manuscripts recommended for restricted publications will only be published through alterations according to the commenters’ suggestions. The suggestions aim to improve the clarity or precision of the text. A redesigned version of the text must be presented for appreciation with the modified parts highlighted (in blue). Besides, a letter to the Editorial Board, by electronic means, describing the attended alterations and justifying the ones that were not made is demanded for the authors. The final decision about the publication of an article submitted to the journal Psicologia e Saúde is from the Editorial Board (Editor-in-chief and Section Editors). 

The Editorial Board of the journal Psicologia e Saúde can make small modifications on the manuscript. When the Editorial Board consider that substantial modifications are necessary, the authors will be notified and in charge of making them, and returning the redesigned article on a set deadline.

All originals will be submitted to the process of opinion in pairs (specialists), preferably double blind (peer review double blind). The anonymity will be granted through all the process. The editorial team will solve the omission cases.
