• Pertinence and thematic relevance, academic and scientific quality, and novelty
• Theoretical and methodological coherence and consistency
• Writing quality and text structure

The evaluation process of papers by the BPRR usually takes, on average, 3 to 5 months, from submission to receipt by the author(s). From the first evaluation to release, it takes, at most, one year after the final approval of the paper.
