II – The Editorial Committee of the Anuário will send the articles for peer review, taking into account, whenever appropriate, the reviewers suggested by the dossier organizers, and will communicate with authors regarding the evaluation of their texts;
III – If necessary, authors will have up to 30 days to submit a revised version of their texts;
