Peer Review Process

Análise Psicológica is committed to double blind peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review.

Once the manuscript has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be anonymous peer reviewed by at least two independent, anonymous experts. If reviewers’ recommendations are contradictory, a third reviewer will be invited to provide an additional assessment and support the final decision. As part of the review process, reviewers recommend one of the following decisions: acceptance, major revisions, or rejection.

The Editor's section will make the final decision based on the recommendations of the reviewers.
