Proposal

This paragraph is a proposal, not yet an abstract. But since this document is an open one, I state some few information.
During the final workshop of the Course Scientific Writings (2017), Publishing in peer-reviewed journals, given and managed by Richard Lorch, the students analyzed a series of journals. They made a short personal report and a group work (six groups), that has been presented to and discussed by all the participants to the course. 
The task proposed to the Collaborator to this document is what they need to be evaluated and to get the final grade and is the following:
