Editorial Policy
Review Process
Desk Review
Articles, interviews, and reviews submitted to Cadernos de Tradução are forwarded to the editor-in-chief, assistant editors, or members of the journal's editorial board for an initial assessment (desk review). This review serves as a preliminary evaluation to determine whether the text fits the journal’s guidelines and whether a full external review is warranted. The following aspects are considered during the desk review:
- Alignment with the journal's focus and scope
- Quality and clarity of academic writing
- Appropriate structure for the type of scholarly work (introduction, methodology, analysis, results, conclusions, etc.)
- Compliance with the journal's formatting and referencing standards
- Originality, relevance, and scientific contribution to the current field of Translation Studies
If approved in the desk review, the manuscripts are sent for evaluation by reviewers who are members of the editorial board, the scientific board, or ad hoc referees, depending on the paper subject. Authors who have previously published in the journal may also be invited to serve as reviewers.
All reviewers receive the articles through the journal system, and the evaluation can be done blindly or openly. This last one is only if there is agreement between the author and the reviewer. In addition to the manuscript for evaluation, reviewers receive a standard evaluation form and a "conflict of interest" declaration, which must be signed and sent to the journal's editor-in-chief.
Note: There is a conflict of interest when an author (or the author's institution), reviewer or editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influence their actions (bias).
The manuscripts may be:
- Accepted without revisions
- Accepted with minor revisions
- Accepted with major revisions
- Rejected
Decisions regarding both accepted and rejected submissions will be communicated to the authors. The Editorial Team reserves the right not to provide reasons for rejections.
The journal reserves the right to evaluate only one manuscript per author per year
