Cadernos de Pesquisa adopts the double-blind system for peer review of manuscripts, preserving the author's identity in relation to the reviewer and vice versa. The review process generally involves two reviewers. The Editorial Board may designate one of the editors for the review.
At the end of the review process, reviewers should select one of the options provided by the journal's electronic management system:
The option “Mandatory corrections” should be used only if the manuscript has potential to be published. Manuscripts that require significant changes should be rejected. The option “Resubmit for review” should be used when the reviewer considers the article should be sent to another specialist.
