02. BLIND REVIEW (NO IDENTIFICATION)

Articles submitted to MUST REVIEWS and MUST EDUCATOR will be blindly reviewed (without identification) by the Editorial Board of the MUST UNIVERSITY Publications Committee.

Each article will be reviewed by the Editorial Board, presented by the courses and approved by the MUST UNIVERSITY Publications Committee. MUST UNIVERSITY journals reserve the right to publish or not publish an article submitted for this purpose. 

The selection process for the publication follows some guidelines, considering whether its content contributes to the academic and professional communities, as well as whether there is creativity regarding the topic and the theoretical-methodological conduct, to go beyond conventional approaches. 

If the Editorial Board suggests modifications in the structure or content of the articles presented, they will be returned to the authors so that they can make the indicated changes. Thus, after the blind review process and the article with the opinion with the recommendation of “publication with revisions”, the authors will have a period of 5 days to resubmit the corrected version. If the corrections are not considered according to the opinion and/or the revised article is not published within 5 days, the article will be rejected and will not advance to the other editorial phases.

Below the illustrations, the font from which the information is extracted must be indicated, same font, smaller size (Times New Roman, size 10, justified on the left).

Note: In this case, the page indication is optional. If the author’s adaptation was based on another illustration or on specific content by the cited author, the page is indicated. If it was a general adaptation, of a chapter or part of the work, it is not necessary to indicate the page and d) when it is prepared by the author: Source: Prepared by the author. (Note that you don’t need to indicate the year.)

– Since double quotation marks are used to identify short quotation marks (“), it is advisable to use single quotation marks (‘) to highlight a word or expression in quotation marks within the body of the text.
