GenEroos Editorial Process
The editorial process of our journal is designed to ensure the quality and thoroughness of each manuscript received. The following are the key phases of the process, from the reception of submissions to their publication and dissemination. At each stage, the manuscript undergoes a series of evaluations and reviews to ensure that it meets the highest academic standards.
Throughout this process, it is essential for us to maintain open and transparent communication with authors. At any stage in which a manuscript is rejected, authorship will be notified through the OJS platform. Clear details and explanations of the reasons for rejection will be provided in the notification, in order to provide constructive feedback and improve the experience of our contributors.
Each phase of the editorial process is described below:
