Functional Structure

The overall coordination of the journals is attributed to the Editor-in-Chief who is responsible for the day-to-day management of each issue, including the suitability of the topics published, the verification of their originality, the objectivity and transparency of the review and decision process, and the management of any conflicts related to the editorial process.  These processes are facilitated by the Executive Editors who directly manage each review process and by the Consultants who perform the review in each specialty area [+here].

All Editors assume these responsibilities free of charge, receiving no compensation, monetary or otherwise, for all tasks here implied.

The publication also counts on the technical collaboration of one Scientific Editor and one specialized Information Technology expert.
