Governança Editorial, Indicadores de Desempenho e Compromisso com a Qualidade Científica

RSV operates under a structured editorial model, with continuous flow and consolidated technical governance, ensuring methodological rigor, scientific integrity, and institutional transparency.

In the most recent annual editorial cycle, the journal recorded a consolidated flow of approximately 300 manuscripts evaluated, reflecting the expansion of its academic visibility and the growth of its national and international author base.

1. Editorial Screening Structure and Integrity Indicators

The editorial process is organized into multiple technical screening and evaluation stages, ensuring quality control at every phase.

During the analyzed period:

  • 21% of submitted manuscripts were rejected at the preliminary stage (desk review), following assessment of scope alignment, structural compliance, methodological adequacy, and ethical standards;

  • 31% of the total evaluated manuscripts were not approved for publication after completing the full peer review process;

  • 69% of manuscripts were accepted following favorable peer review under a structured technical evaluation process.

Each manuscript is reviewed by two independent specialist reviewers, with the possibility of assigning a third evaluator when necessary to reach a conclusive decision.

The elevated preliminary filtering rate demonstrates that the growth in editorial flow is accompanied by rigorous scientific selection and quality control mechanisms.

2. Transparency and Efficiency in the Review Process

RSV adopts data-driven communication practices based on real metrics extracted from its editorial management system, prioritizing clarity and auditability.

In the most recent annual cycle, the following indicators were observed:

  • 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.

The observed efficiency results from a decentralized editorial structure, an active database of specialized reviewers, and the application of objective technical criteria during the initial screening phase.

Operational agility does not compromise scientific rigor, maintaining a balance between timeliness and evaluative depth.

3. Structured Internationalization

The journal maintains an active internationalization policy, including:

  • An editorial board composed of researchers affiliated with different institutions and countries;

  • Publication of authors from multiple geographical regions throughout the annual volume;

  • Encouragement of manuscript submissions in English;

  • Institutional endogeneity monitoring.

Internationalization is treated as a strategic axis for scientific consolidation and expansion of academic impact.

4. Technical Standards and Scientific Quality

All published manuscripts undergo:

  • Originality verification;

  • Structural and normative compliance analysis;

  • Specialized methodological evaluation;

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

RSV recognizes that editorial expansion requires proportional strengthening of scientific governance and control mechanisms.

Our editorial model combines structured growth, statistical transparency, and technical rigor, ensuring consistency, credibility, and alignment with international best practices for indexing.
