Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process
The peer review process for articles submitted to the Journal of the Superior Labor Court is characterized by a double-blind peer review system. Reviewers are PhDs in Law, with relevant scientific production. In the selection of the Reviewers, criteria such as gender, race, diversity of research areas, and regional representation were observed. The majority of reviewers are from the field of Law, including Labor, Social Security, and Procedure, but there are also names from Labor Economics, Sociology of Labor, and Legal History, who can review articles with that profile.
Articles are evaluated considering the relevance of the topic studied to Labor or Labor Procedure Law, writing style, logical connection of the theoretical review with the use of appropriate references, adequacy of methodological procedures, depth and consistency of analysis, delineation of conclusions, and relevance of contributions, using a pre-defined evaluation form provided to the reviewers. This stage of the evaluation process can last up to two weeks, and at its conclusion, authors are informed of the editorial decision.
After the evaluation, the Editor will make the following decisions:
- Approved
- Approved pending revisions to the text
- Not approved
When reviewers request adjustments to the article, authors will be given a one-week deadline to incorporate the suggested changes and corrections. After making the requested adjustments, articles are subjected to proofreading, grammar checking, and compliance with the journal's adopted standards, and final document formatting. The completion of this process does not imply immediate publication of the article; it is up to the editors, in accordance with editorial policies, to develop agendas and decide on the appropriate timing for publication
