Assessment process
Every manuscript received by ‘Saúde em Debate’ is submitted to prior analysis. Works that are not in accordance to the journal publishing norms shall be returned to the authors for adequacy and new submission. Once the journal’s standards have been entirely met, manuscripts will be appraised by the Editorial Board, composed of the editor-in-chief and associate editors, for originality, scope, topicality, and compliance with the journal’s editorial policy. Articles recommended by the Board shall be forwarded for assessment to at least two reviewers, who will be indicated according to the theme of the work and to their expertise, and who will provide their approval, refusal, and/or make recommendations to the authors. ‘Saúde em Debate’ uses the double-blind review method, which means that the names of both the authors and the reviewers are concealed from one another during the entire assessment process. In case there is divergence between the reviewers, the article will be sent to a third reviewer. Likewise, the Editorial Board may also produce a third review. The reviewers’ responsibility is to recommend the acceptance, the refusal, or the reformulation of the works. In case there is a reformulation request, the authors shall return the revised work until the stipulated date. In case this does not happen, the work shall be excluded from the system. The editorial Board has full authority to decide on the final acceptance of the work, as well as on the changes made. No additions or changes will be accepted after the final approval of the work.
