ECOS accepts publishing preprint articles . The use of preprints is an option and choice of the authors.

Articles that pass preliminary consideration will be forwarded to a Responsible Editor who will continue a peer review process (Peer Review) double blind, as follows: the manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers belonging to institutions other than those to which the authors are affiliated, including international institutions. The names and institutions of the authors will not be revealed to reviewers, nor vice versa.

Contradictory opinions can be resolved by the Responsible Editor or lead to new consultations with new reviewers.

In cases where reviewers request modifications, the journal's editors mediate the dialogue between them and the authors.

In all cases, the authors receive the opinions of the reviewers.

ECOS utilizes the Open Science Compliance form and within this scope adopts the publication in the final article of the name or names of the editors responsible for the evaluation.

The journal annually publishes the name and institutional affiliation of its panel of reviewers .

It is up to the reviewers

Take responsibility for the review process, ensuring that the principles of ethics and good research and editorial practices are adopted in the evaluation process;

Preserve the confidentiality of the content relating to the evaluations under their responsibility during and after the review process;

Quickly carry out the editorial tasks to which they have committed;

Inform the editor responsible for the manuscript of any irregularities, suspected bad practices and/or possible conflicts of interest of the authors.

Inform the editor responsible for the manuscript if there is or may be a conflict of interest on the part of the reviewer in evaluating the manuscript or circumstances preventing an impartial review of the manuscript.

ECOS encourages the open availability of data, codes, methods and other materials used in corresponding repositories.

ECOS does not make any charges to authors related to the submission or publication of works.

Bad practices can be defined but not restricted to: fabrication or falsification of data, images or results, plagiarism, omitting conflicts of interest, including authors who have not contributed to the manuscript, omitting authors who have contributed to the manuscript, etc.

In case of suspicion of bad practices, the Editorial Board will designate an Evaluation Committee and the following procedures will be applied:

•  The existence of elements that support the acceptance of the complaint will be assessed;
•  Once the presence of such elements is verified, those involved will be informed that a bad practices assessment process will be initiated by the Assessment Committee, and the respective stages and consequences of the process;
•  All parties involved will have the opportunity to comment on the matter;
•  The entire procedure will take place in confidentiality.

If the bad practice is proven and the severity of the consequences arising from it is assessed, the following procedures may be applied:

•  application of a warning to those involved, emphasizing the harm caused by this type of conduct;
•  publication by the journal, at the expense of those involved, of the appropriate explanations and/or publication of errata;
•  removal of the manuscript from the website and publication of retractions and apologies to the affected parties.
•  notification of the fact to the institutions with which those involved have ties, as long as they are related to the fact that occurred.

The conflict of interest may be of a personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature. Conflicts of interest may occur when authors, reviewers or editors have interests that may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. When submitting the manuscript, authors are responsible for recognizing and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced the work. If there is, even potentially, a conflict of interest, the author(s) must inform this in a signed document attached to the submission platform. For more information see : Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest .
