Peer Review Process

Articles submitted to the Law and Praxis journal go through a double blind review process performed on average between 60 and 120 days after submission. The Journal has a permanent number of referees that are members of Brazilian and international universities. The referees may consider the article approved (and still make suggestions), demand compulsory adjustments (which will be sent to the author and returned to the referee for further consideration) or refuse publication. In order for it to be approved for publication, the article must fully attend to major and minor revisions. In case of two diametral revisions, the manuscripts will be sent to a third reviewer. If the authors have complaints about the review process or direct questions about it, they can contact the editors via the main email of the journal (direitoepraxis@gmail.com). All complaints will be processed in a weekly period.

In each edition, the Journal publishes a translation or a guest’s research article of great relevance. This article is reviewed by the Editorial Committee, which analyzes the thematic relevance to the focus and scope of the Journal and its formal publication rules. Return to authors: After evaluation, articles are returned to authors for corrections. Once those are made, the referees are contacted to check on reviews and the executive committee checks the articles one more for further analysis of the revisions. Once accepted, the articles are published in an average of two weeks in the “ahead of print” section. For each issue, the Editor and the Executive Board of the Journal create a prior publication agenda matching the quality criteria, the required number of articles and the 80% exogeny. Law and Praxis’ editions are published quarterly in March, June, September and December of each year.

In case of correction or need of retraction, the authors can contact the editors at any time to implement corrections or add any information needed for retraction. In the Portal of UERJ, changes and retractions will be published immediately. In the Scielo Platform, they will be published in a special rubric in the forthcoming issue.
