- The journal also provides authors with a document entitled “Image Authorization”, so that they can ensure, if necessary, that they have the rights to reproduce any images, graphics or other material they borrow;
- Articles are finalized (proofread and formatted) in agreement with the authors and the editorial board;
- When the issue is published, the journal undertakes to promote its distribution as much as possible (mailing lists and platforms);
