• The manuscripts submitted should match the profile of Rudy i Metally. In case the decision to publish the manuscript is taken with comments, the manuscript is sent back to the corresponding author for correction; the corrected version is repeatedly reviewed. In case the decision to publish the manuscript is negative, the editor-in-chief sends to the corresponding author a review or a motivated decision signed by the Editor-in-Chief; no subsequent discussions are practiced; no manuscripts once rejected are considered repeatedly.
• Publications are free of charge. Fees are not provided. Having signed the manuscript and submitting it to Rudy i Metally, the authors grant the right to publish it in the journal and on Internet. Previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere manuscripts are not acceptable.
