Process of selecting manuscripts

The manuscripts will first be submitted to an internal editorial evaluation to make sure that the content is suitable for the scope of the journal, that its formatting is in conformity with our guidelines, described below, and that all the necessary supporting documents have been duly attached in the submission system.

The manuscripts found to be appropriate in the initial evaluation will be sent for double-blind peer review 

Peer reviews

The manuscripts found to be appropriate in the initial evaluation will be sent for double-blind peer review (the reviewers are not identified to the authors and vice versa). Before a decision on a manuscript, at least two specialists must have presented their evaluations. In case of divergence, the final decision will rest with the associate editor responsible for the manuscript, with the possibility of inviting another specialist to evaluate the manuscript. After the manuscript has been recommended by the reviewers, authors receive a pre-acceptance notification informing the need to upload the required additional documentation. Although the opinions and concepts presented in manuscripts are the responsibility of the authors, the Editorial Board, supported by the Scientific Advisory Board, reserves the right to suggest or solicit modifications considered appropriate or necessary.

After pre-acceptance for publication, additional documents will be required:

i) the manuscript with the English reviewed as necessary and with “hidden for review” replaced by the relevant information;

ii) proof of payment of the publication fee; and

iii) certificate of English language revision of the text (the costs will be the responsibility of the authors). The BJVM provides a list of suggested English reviewers.

 

Anti-Plagiarism Policy: The editors of BJVM follow a strict anti-plagiarism policy. Plagiarism is defined as the copying of ideas, texts, data and other creative works (e.g., tables, figures and graphs) from other published works and representing them as being original. 

If evidence of plagiarism is found before or after the acceptance of a manuscript, the corresponding author will have the right of rebuttal. If the arguments are considered unsatisfactory, the manuscript will be removed and the author will be prevented from submitting new manuscripts for publication for a period to be determined by the editor-in-chief.

Triage to detect plagiarism

The BJVM recommends that before submitting a manuscript, the authors check it with a program designed to detect h plagiarism.

The BJVM reserves the right to check all manuscripts submitted with software designed to detect plagiarism.

Publication fee

The costs will be covered by the authors after BJVM approval. The publication fee is R$ 300.00 or US$ 100.00 for Brazilian or foreign authors, respectively.
