When submitting the manuscript, the author can indicate at least three reviewers, providing: Full name, institution and e-mail. Authors may request that reviewers be excluded from the evaluation of their manuscripts, if these reviewers may be likely to be unfavorable. However, the final choice of referees will remain with the Editor.

The reviewers must be nominated at the time of submission, in step "1 - Beginning" in "Comments for the editor" or in step "2 - Transfer of the manuscript" attaching a WORD document with the reviewers' information (full name, institution and email).

Editorial Flow

The JBB editorial process follows the following workflow:

  • Submission: articles are received in the system. In this stage, texts are rejected if they are outside the journal's standards by the editors or assigned to reviewers.
  • Evaluation: the articles go to double blind peer evaluation of the works happens. Once approved, the article proceeds to the next phase.
  • Layout Editing: only articles approved by peers go on to review texts and layout. This requires textual and / or shape adjustments.
  • Production: it is the last stage where the texts are prepared in their final version, in which the articles are transformed into PDF and the DOI is assigned to each one.

 

This magazine offers free access to its content, following the principle that making scientific knowledge freely available to the public provides greater worldwide democratization of knowledge.

 

This magazine uses the LOCKSS / CLOCKSS system to create a file system distributed among participating libraries and allows them to create permanent magazine files for preservation and restoration.

LOCKSS

The LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to ensure safe and permanent archiving of your magazine's cache, is supported by OJS. LOCKSS is free software developed by the Stanford University Library, which allows preserving chosen online magazines by scanning their pages for newly published content and archiving it. Each file is continuously validated against copies from other libraries. In case the content is corrupted or lost, the copies are used for restoration.

CLOCKSS

Open Journal Systems also supports the system's CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) to ensure a safe and permanent file for the journal. CLOCKSS is based on the open source software LOCKSS developed at the Stanford University Library that allows libraries to preserve selected regularly registered journals. Each file is continuously validated against other records in the library, and if the content is characterized as corrupted or lost, the other records or the journal are used to restore it.
