Editorial Governance, Performance Indicators, and Commitment to Scientific Quality

REMUNOM – Revista Multidisciplinar do Nordeste Mineiro operates under a structured editorial governance model designed to ensure methodological rigor, scientific integrity, transparency, and sustainable editorial development.

In the most recent annual editorial cycle, the journal recorded approximately 1,310 manuscripts processed and evaluated, reflecting increased academic visibility and expansion of its national and international author base.

1. Structured Editorial Filtering and Integrity Indicators

The editorial process is organized into multiple technical screening stages to ensure consistent quality control at every phase.

During the analyzed period:

  • 33% of submitted manuscripts (approximately 432 papers) were declined at the preliminary desk review stage, following scope verification, structural compliance assessment, and initial methodological screening;

  • 40% of the total manuscripts evaluated (approximately 524 papers) were not approved for publication after completion of the full peer review process;

  • 60% of manuscripts (786 articles) were accepted following structured evaluation and favorable technical assessment.

Each manuscript undergoes review by two independent expert reviewers, with the possibility of assigning a third reviewer when additional technical clarification is required for final editorial decision-making.

The significant preliminary filtering rate demonstrates that editorial expansion is accompanied by proportional strengthening of quality control mechanisms.

2. Transparency and Operational Efficiency in Peer Review

REMUNOM adopts a data-driven transparency policy based on metrics extracted directly from its editorial management system.

In the most recent annual cycle:

  • Median time from submission to first decision: between 10 and 20 days, depending on methodological complexity and reviewer availability;

  • Median time from submission to final acceptance: 16 days.

Operational efficiency results from a structured editorial workflow, an active international reviewer database, and objective triage criteria applied at the initial assessment stage.

Editorial agility is maintained without compromising scientific rigor or methodological scrutiny.

3. Structured Internationalization Strategy

The journal maintains an active internationalization policy, ensuring:

  • An editorial board composed of researchers affiliated with institutions from multiple countries;

  • Publication of authors from diverse geographical regions across the annual volume;

  • Encouragement of manuscript submissions in English;

  • Monitoring of institutional endogeneity.

Internationalization is treated as a strategic axis for scientific consolidation and global academic circulation.

4. Technical Standards and Scientific Consistency

All published manuscripts undergo:

  • Originality verification;

  • Structural and normative compliance assessment;

  • Specialized methodological peer review;

  • Complete metadata standardization (English title and abstract, active DOI, ORCID identification when available, references formatted according to international standards).

REMUNOM recognizes that editorial growth requires proportional strengthening of governance and quality assurance mechanisms.

Our editorial model combines structured expansion, statistical transparency, and methodological rigor, ensuring consistency, credibility, and alignment with internationally recognized indexing standards.
