All manuscripts submitted to the Articles section of Revista Coleta Científica first undergo preliminary editorial screening, during which their relevance to the journal’s focus and scope, originality, scientific and textual quality, academic structure, metadata completeness, and compliance with ethical and formal requirements are assessed.

Manuscripts approved at this stage are sent to at least two external, independent ad hoc reviewers with expertise in the manuscript’s subject area.

Revista Coleta Científica adopts a double-blind peer review system, in which authors do not know the identity of the reviewers and reviewers do not know the identity of the authors.

To preserve anonymity, authors must remove their names, affiliations, identifiable acknowledgments, personal information contained in the document properties, and any other element that could reveal authorship. Complete authorship information must be entered exclusively in the OJS submission metadata.

Reviewers assess the manuscript’s originality, scientific relevance, theoretical foundation, methodological adequacy, analysis and discussion of results, currency of references, textual clarity, and academic contribution.

In cases of substantial disagreement between the reviews, the manuscript may be sent to a third reviewer. The final editorial decision rests with the journal’s editors and is based on the reviews received, scientific merit, methodological quality, alignment with the journal’s scope, and compliance with ethical and editorial policies.

Documents that, because of their nature, are not subject to external peer review, such as certain editorials or institutional texts, will be clearly identified on the publication page and in the published file.
