Any controversy raised by the authors regarding the evaluation process can be appealed to the journal in case of disconformity with the peer review process; however, the directive members of REG retain the right to decide the publication. A period of 2 months is calculated to receive the first evaluation from reviewers and 4 months to publish in case to receive a positive evaluation from the review process.

The works must be empirical investigations with theoretical and bibliographic support,
not limited to abstract discussions of theoretical problems. The papers must also adopt a
reasoned discernment of the academic conventions of the moment, proposing alternatives and
projects of social transformation.
