Evaluation of submitted papers – blind peer review: submitted papers undergo a prior evaluation carried out by the Editorial Board, verifying their adequacy to the proposed theme in the Law of the Sea. After this evaluation, the papers are sent to two anonymous reviewers for a qualitative assessment of their form and content, according to the process known as blind peer review.
The opinion can be by Acceptance or Rejection. Authors will have access to all opinions about their paper, without identifying the reviewer.
The criteria to be used by the evaluators when analyzing the papers can be found here.
