If corrections on the manuscript are needed, authors will be given a specific deadline for modifications, which must be justified through a letter to the Editor (to be forwarded via e-mail with the reformulated text). This new version will be reevaluated by consultants who might approve or indicate new adjustments, following the same evaluation procedure.
