About the Journal

1. Mission and Vision

The mission of the "Lantyer Educacional Scientific Journal: Law and Technology" is to foster an academic environment where legal and technological knowledge not only coexists but interconnects and evolves synergistically.

2. Peer Review Process

The methodology adopted for manuscript evaluation is the Double Blind Review. In this process, each submitted work is carefully analyzed by two ad hoc reviewers, selected based on their expertise and affinity with the manuscript's theme. These reviewers, for the most part, are not affiliated with the institution responsible for publishing the journal and are recognized annually in a list of ad hoc reviewers.

Once submitted, the manuscript undergoes a detailed review by the ad hoc reviewers. They are responsible for examining, proposing adjustments, and improvements to the work. After this stage, the journal editor takes action, evaluating the suggestions and opinions, resolving any controversies, and making the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of the manuscript.

After the editor's verdict, the manuscript is returned to the authors, who have the opportunity to implement the improvements recommended by the reviewers. Following the completion of these modifications, the authors send the final version of the work, accompanied by a report from a similarity detection software, such as CopySpider. This final document must be formatted according to the definitive template of the journal.

The evaluation process maintains the anonymity of both authors and ad hoc reviewers, ensuring impartiality and integrity of the review process. The interval between the receipt of the manuscript and the first response from the evaluation team is generally up to 15 days. The period between the receipt of the manuscript and its publication can take up to 180 days.

Significant advantages of the double-blind review process implemented by the journal include:

Maintaining the anonymity of authors and reviewers, ensuring a fair and impartial evaluation;

Promoting greater credibility and recognition of the journal's evaluation processes;

Effectively enhancing the communication and dissemination of research results presented.
