The Rodriguésia accepts manuscripts provided that: all authors have approved the manuscript submitted; the results or ideas presented in the manuscript are original; the manuscript has not been submitted to another journal unless that other Journal has refused the manuscript or the author asks that other Journal to withdraw the manuscript from the submission process; the manuscript has been prepared in agreement with the latest version of the Guidelines for Publication in Rodriguésia. If accepted and published, the paper (or its parts) cannot be published elsewhere, except with the consent of the Editor-in-chief; the reproduction and proper use can not receive any profit, presenting educational purposes only. The Editor-in-chief must examine any other cases. The scientific content, grammar, and spelling within an paper are the sole responsibility of its author. The corresponding author can request the withdrawal of his manuscript from the evaluation process at any time, provided he contact by email with the Editor-in-Chief. Since November 2018, Rodriguésia accepts only manuscripts submitted in English. The authors will be required to send the English language verification certificate by a specialized scientific translator when submitting the manuscript. Since January 2019, Rodriguésia adopted a yearly continuous publication modality, which is available online on the SciELO database. Preprints: Rodriguésia agrees with the international initiative for a more transparent editorial process, known as Ciência Aberta (Open Access). Thus, manuscripts deposited on a preprint server (SciELO Preprints or bioRxiv) will be considered for publication in Rodriguésia. The peer-review process for papers deposited on preprint servers will follow the rules described in the Peer R
