Peer review process

The articles sent to the journal Conexões are evaluated by two referees. For this task, the double-blind system is used to issue the following concepts: approved for publication; approved with corrections; rejected for publication. If the article receives an approved opinion and another one rejected for publication, it is forwarded to a third referee who issues a final judgment on it. The paper that receives an approved opinion with corrections and another approved for publication, or even two opinions with corrections, are forwarded to the author to provide the changes requested by the referees and are reevaluated after corrections. The deadlines for correction of the author vary between 30 and 60 days. Unaccepted works are not returned and the author is informed of the decision. Articles written by specialists from different areas of knowledge can be published, provided they are of interest to the area of Physical Education and its interfaces. Editors do not take responsibility for concepts issued in signed articles and transcribed materials. The editors reserve the right to select articles for publication and to hear expert advice to ascertain the quality of the work. The journal does not publish texts already published in scientific events, guest articles and/or translated. Originality is a prerequisite for publication.
