Other sections of ACR include: editorials, historical articles and letters to the editor. Editorials are related to published articles in the same journal number or on subject of interest. Letters to the Editor must refer to published articles in the two last journal numbers, always with the right to reply. Usually, experts will be invited to elaborate review articles on subjects of interest.

Peer Review Process

Therefore manuscripts submitted for consideration in the peer-reviewed section of the Journal will undergo a peer review.
The journal uses a double-blind peer-review process (i.e. authors do not know who the reviewers, reviewers do not know who the authors are). It is then the author's responsibility to submit a manuscript that does not contain any information linking the paper to the authors.

Open Access Policy
