The Scientific Editorial Board or Editorial Board is made up of doctoral professors from different teaching and research institutions in Brazil and abroad, with academic recognition. Part of its members work in the different areas of the "RCEC" , but in a non-collective way, that is, without providing for regular meetings (in person or virtual) to deal with specific issues. Following the model common to national scientific journals, there is no formal involvement of the members of the Editorial Board with "RCEC" and Health Sciences Journals Publishing in the responsibility for publishing the magazine. The participation of each member in the magazine takes place individually, through articulation between the Editor and the Editorial Commission. Scientifically, the members of the Council act as advisors to the Editor and the Editorial Committee, promoting the journal, suggesting improvements in the editorial policy and strategies for acting in the academic and professional environment. Counselors are expected to express their views on the consistency of editorial policy and publications, their quality and on ethical issues relevant to editorial management and the dissemination of articles. Each member also assumes the role of “ombudsman” of the scientific community active in the area, guaranteeing the academic credibility and the expected posture of a scientific journal. As the Editorial Board is removed from the process of mediation of articles (not having access to the metadata of the articles under evaluation), it does not supervise or interfere in the editorial process, thus being able to submit articles to "RCEC" and participating in the process like any other author.
