ANALYSIS OF MANUSCRIPTS
 
Manuscripts submitted for consideration will be forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief, who will make an initial analysis of the journal's minimum standards and meet all the standards required to send the originals. Those that do not present merit, that contain significant errors of methodology, or that do not fit in the editorial policy of the magazine, will be rejected not being able to appeal.
 
After approval by the Editor, the manuscript will be sent to two independent reviewers, scientific peers, renowned and with specific knowledge in the area covered by the article, with anonymity guaranteed throughout the editorial process. The opinions expressed in the articles, including the changes requested by the reviewers, will be the sole responsibility of the authors. The deadline for analysis is 30 days.
 
After receiving the reviewers' opinions, the authors will have 30 days to submit the version with the suggested changes. If this submission does not occur within a period of 6 months, the article will be removed from the database and an eventual re-submission will follow the procedures of an initial submission.
 
All submitted manuscripts must be accompanied by a letter signed by all authors, authorizing their publication and declaring that it is unpublished, that it has not been or is being submitted for publication in another journal.
 
PAIR REVIEW PROCESS
 
     The Revista Odontológica of the Hospital de Aeronáutica de Canoas is based on Peer Review, as recommended by the ICMJE. We believe in this process as an extension of Scientific investigation, as well as an impartial, independent and critical evaluation that facilitates a fair hearing for the manuscript and gives value among members of the scientific community.
     
     The Peer Review will be blinded to both sides, that is, the reviewer will not have access to the name of the author(s) (only to the content), nor will the author(s) have(s) access to the reviewers' names.
 
     This journal encourages the exchange of answers about the review between reviewers for better learning and evaluation on the topic in question.
 
      Editors are responsible for ensuring that reviewers have access to all content in the manuscript that may be relevant to their evaluation.
 
      Editors are ultimately responsible for selecting publications. Therefore, the editors are under no obligation to send all manuscripts for review. Manuscripts that do not fit the scope of the journal, as well as those that the editors decide not to accept, for any reason, will not be sent to the reviewers. Editors can reject the reviewers' recommendations (favorable or negative) and refer or not to another reviewer.
 
      Editors can reject any article at any time, including after acceptance if concerns arise about the integrity of the work.
 
REVIWERS POLICE
 
There may be no conflicts of interest of the reviewer with the manuscript submitted for review so that there is no influence with bias in his opinion. If there are conflicts of interest, the reviewer must refuse the review in question.
 
All information in the manuscript is private, confidential and cannot be disclosed. Reviewers are not allowed to use the knowledge of the manuscript under review before publication to promote their own interests, whatever they may be.
