Peer Review Process

The originals of articles, interviews and reviews submitted to the journal are forwarded to the editorial team or guest editors for a preliminary analysis, which will consider the general editorial line or theme of the dossier. After this preliminary evaluation, the article or review must be sent incognito to the appreciation of two reviewers who are members of the Editorial Committee, Advisory Board or “ad hoc” consultants, depending on the theme of the article (DOUBLE BLIND REVIEW). If there is disagreement regarding the opinions, the article/review/interview will be sent to a third reviewer. 
The originals may be:

- Accepted in full, without restrictions; - Accepted in full, with some changes; or,

- Rejected. When there is a need for changes referring only to grammatical, spelling and normative aspects, with a view to maintaining the homogeneity of the publication, the Editorial Committee reserves the right to make the necessary changes, respecting the author's style. In other cases, the author will reformulate the text as requested by the Commission.

As soon as the text is accepted, reviewed and designed, it will be published according to the tenets of continuous publication.

History

The creation of the Web Language, Memory and education Journal, originally a biannual publication, is part of a project agreed upon by Jindřich memory Center and State University Trachta of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, in Brazil. The journal aimed to pay tribute to the memory of Mr Jindřich Trachta for his contribution to the history of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. The journal's first edition was in the second semester of 2011, when the first eight texts were edited. There was support of Dr. Evandro Trachta of Amaral e Silva (CMJT), who contributed to the dissemination of the journal with the Czech authors. In addition, Prof. Dr. Marlon Leal Rodrigues, of UEMS, helped with the name of the magazine and the first ideas for publishing. Also, Prof. Dr. Paulo Cesar Tafarello, from UNEMAT, helped with the technical part of the journal. Profª Dra. Eliane Maria de Oliveira Giacon was editor in Chief of the magazine from 2011 to 2020, with the aid of Profª Dra Iva Svolodová, Masaryk University, Czech Republic. The magazine was hosted on the website: http://www.giacon.pro.br/lem/.  And the journal remained on this address until November 2015.

 From December 2015 on, the journal was hosted on UEMS Periodicals Portal. On May 2024, Professor Olegario da Costa Maya Neto (UEMS) became editor in chief. In addition, the journal started receiving texts in continuous publication.
