Upon receipt, the article goes through a preliminary analysis by the Editorial Team's technical advisors, in compliance with the submission rules and the omission of authorship identification in the article.

Each consultant issues its opinion, which may be: (i) favorable to publication; (ii) unfavorable to publication; (iii) favorable with suggestions without the need for reassessment; (iv) favorable with suggestions requiring reassessment, after changes.
