Reviewer Practices

  • It is the reviewers' responsibility to report any potential conflicts of interest concerning the articles under review;

  • Reviewers must uphold the strict confidentiality of the submission;

  • The review process must be conducted ethically, offering constructive criticism aimed at improving the article and demonstrating respect for the researchers' work;

  • Journal deadlines must be strictly respected;

  • Reviewers must notify the journal if they identify that the text has been partially or fully published elsewhere, or if they notice any indications of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or other unethical conduct.

  • The Igapó journal publishes the names of the reviewers for each issue as a means of ensuring process transparency and acknowledging the work of evaluation. Certificates of review will be issued to reviewers upon request via the journal's email address.
