Review System
The Virtual Classroom Journal uses the refereed review process by expert evaluators in the area, under the modality of "DOUBLE BLIND" peers. It also has the collaboration of the Editorial Committee - external evaluators outside its editorial team, advisory board and the publishing institution.
Review Process
Once the Scientific Production has been received on our OJS platform, the Chief Editor confirms the formal duties, ranging from the use of the Template provided by the Virtual Classroom Journal in the Publication Rules section, the use of the APA Standard for the presentation, to the type of production and delivery time.
After the preliminary review of the Chief Editor, he assigns at least three (3) expert reviewers in the area so that, based on their experience and supported by the Evaluation Criteria reflected in the Evaluation Scales designed by the Editorial Committee, they can proceed with the evaluation in the lapses. established for that purpose; The reviewers also rely on anti-plagiarism software, thus activating a first round of evaluation.
If the production is rejected or approved with modifications, the author is informed of the verdict together with the reasons that support it, in order to decline the submission or make the required adjustments, which are reviewed in a second round of evaluation in order to formulate an opinion in relation to the publication of the work. If it is necessary to go to other expert evaluators, the Chief Editor will go to the bench of referees for their respective assignment and consultation.
