This journal adopts the Double Blind Peer Review , that is, the omission of authors and reviewers’ identities during the analysis of manuscripts.

The original papers submitted to the journal must meet all criteria below strictly. Collaborations in disagreement will be refused.

All manuscripts for publication in Passagens must be submitted exclusively via electronic means. In order to submit, a prior registration is required, through the link: http://www.periodicos.ufc.br/index.php/passagens/login.

Authors can submit papers and monitor their status throughout the editorial process by means of the electronic platform on the link above, ensuring greater agility and security in the submission of manuscripts and streamlining the review process.

Regarding resubmission and reviews, the journal separates them into two categories:

- Manuscripts that have been rejected;

- Manuscripts that can be reassessed after the requested corrections are made.

In case of a resubmission, the author will informed that their work has been rejected. If the author wants the editors to reconsider such decision, it will be possible to make the changes they deem necessary and resend them. However, it will be considered as a new submission, and therefore, a new manuscript number will be generated in the system;

When a review of the manuscript is requested, the author must redo and/or change their manuscript based on the reviewers’ recommendations and suggestions. Then, the author must return the file for a second analysis, without forgetting to inform the same number assigned to the manuscript, so the final decision can be informed later on
