REER journal receives contributions in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. Articles must be original and must be related to scientific research and/or meaningful studies in the specific area of the journal.

The journal receives collaborations by invitation (Invitation Articles) or sent by authors to be issued in the journal (studies, research, revisions, papers, reviews, thesis and presentation abstracts).

Research, presentation, and thesis articles will be works presenting more technical outcomes of investigations. Studies will be articles developing analysis and reflection based on empirical, historical, and theoretical investigations, discussing models or posing problems and issues related to the objects of study. Revision and review articles will be works developing analysis and discussions on the outcomes of other published works, focusing on the presentation of a systematic view of the thematic treatment. Essays preferably Invitation Articles will be considered theoretical and discursive works, developing interpretative argumentations.

The ideas and opinions expressed in the articles are the author’s own, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Publisher.
