For data storage and dissemination, authors may use institutional repositories, specialized platforms, and other recognized open-access repositories, ensuring proper data citation following SciELO guidelines.

RECIE promotes the use of open and accessible formats for data publication, facilitating consultation and reuse in future research. Shared datasets should include a variable dictionary, a description of analytical procedures, and any relevant scripts or codes, ensuring transparency and replicability of results.
Peer Review Procedure
The articles will be evaluated through the double-blind peer review system. In case of disagreement between the reviewers, a third review will be conducted. To ensure maximum objectivity and consistency, the submitted manuscript must not contain elements that reveal the authors’ identity. The final publication decision lies with the journal’s director and editor, based on the reviewers' feedback. The peer reviews are conducted through the latest version of the OJS system.
