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 .

After pre-acceptance for publication, presentation will be required of:

i) the manuscript with the English reviewed;

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 English language revision is waived for authors that are native English speakers. The BJVM provides a list with suggested English reviewers.
