Editorial flow activities

After evaluation by peers, through a blind review system, and submitted for consideration by at least one member of the Scientific Editorial Board, the recommended articles undergo the following reviews:

a) by the authors, to review the adjustments recommended by the evaluators;

b) by the editorial committee of the Revista de Ciências da Administração, to review the standardization and final formatting of the article;

The textual and grammatical review of the Portuguese, English and Spanish languages, as well as technical standards, are the responsibility of the author.

In accordance with our bilingual publication policy, all articles will be published in English and in Portuguese or Spanish. Thus, after the article is accepted for its scientific merit, the authors will be responsible for providing the approved version of the text in a second language, accompanied by a translation declaration issued by a qualified professional, with the translator's identification data.
The authors are also responsible for carrying out the grammatical/spelling review of the language in which the article is written (Portuguese, English or Spanish) and the APA standard by a duly trained professional, presenting a Text Revision Declaration. The translated article, the translation attestation and the text revision declaration must be attached to the OJS platform as supplementary documents for the submission.
