The Editorial Committee verifies the incorporation of the changes and, if deemed appropriate, sends the text back to the peer reviewers for verification.

Finally, the article is reviewed by a proofreader. Once the editing is complete, the proof of the article is sent to the author for approval within the indicated period (10 days), specifying whether there were any changes.
