Target Audience

Polymatheira is aimed at a broad audience of researchers, teachers, students, consultants and other professionals who work in national and international public, private and third sector organizations.

Peer Review Process

Manuscripts received by Polymatheia are initially subjected to desk review. At this stage, the editors analyze:

(1) whether the work matches the Focus and Scope of the journal, and  (2) whether the Guidelines for Authors have been met. Articles accepted in this first phase are sent for merit assessment using the double blind review system. Manuscripts are evaluated considering the relevance of the topic studied for the area, the writing, the logical chain of the theoretical review with the use of appropriate references, the suitability of the methodological procedures, the depth and consistency of the analyses, the outline of conclusions and the relevance of contributions. This stage of the evaluation process can last up to 6 months, and at its end, the authors are notified of the editorial decision. When evaluators request adjustments to the article, authors will be granted, at the editor's discretion, a period of between thirty and sixty days to incorporate the requested suggestions and corrections. The final decision on whether or not to publish the work is always made by the editor-in-chief, based on the opinions of other editors and ad hoc consultants. Completion of this process does not imply the immediate publication of the article, it is up to the editors, in accordance with editorial policies, to prepare the guidelines and decide the appropriate time for publication.
