Author Guidelines

The journal Mix Sustentável is open access on the Open Journal Systems Platform. Submissions are free of charge and there are no charges (no fees for submission, processing or publication of articles). The editors of this journal consider that scientific research with the theme of sustainability should be socialized and shared as much as possible for free, so that it becomes a practice. The articles are peer-reviewed in a double-blind fashion. The editing of the journal is supported by other projects of the Viruthab Research Group that pay for its editing and publication, besides counting on the spontaneous contribution of several renowned researchers in its reviewing process.
