Evaluation Process

The journal receives articles in a continuous flow, and it is the responsibility of the editors to analyze in which volume they will be published, as well as their pertinence, or not, for the journal. It will also depend on the editors' choice to evaluate the production of thematic or special volumes.

The articles presented for the continuous flows volumes and for the thematic or special volumes must respect the editorial norms, the opinions of the reviewers and the editorial team. Anonymity is reserved for reviewers, and it is up to them to sign their review or not.

Articles are submitted to at least 2 reviewers with expertise in the field and with a variety of perspectives, who review the texts from particular settings and advise the editor with regard to their originality, significance and scientific rigor. In the event of a tie in the analyzes (one in favor and the other against the publication of the paper), a third reviewer will be designated for additional evaluation. The reviewers are not members of the Brazilian Archaeology Society (which publishes the journal) and can be foreigners.

The whole process is documented and transparent, and the author can follow it through the journal's website in the OJS system or by mail at revistadearqueologia@gmail.com. Receipt and approval dates are also documented and presented in the system. The average time between submission and evaluation, with editorial decision, is 3 to 6 months after submission. And the average time between the editorial decision and the publication of the article is also 3 to 6 months. Thus, the average time between submission of the article and its publication is 12 months.

Double blind peer review is used to evaluate manuscripts, with chief editors ensuring that identification between authors and reviewers is concealed during the review process.

Due to the transparency of the editorial flow, the Journal has an editorial policy that the editors themselves do not publish articles while managing the journal.
