GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS Absence of APCs (Article processing charges) Revista Brasileira de História da Educação does not charge authors any type of submission or publication fee. For the authors’ safety, if they are charged by any means (e-mail, telephone, messaging applications, etc.), RBHE recommends that the message be ignored and, preferably, that a notification be sent to the official e-mail of the publication: rbhe.sbhe@gmail.com This way, the journal will be able to investigate the attempted fraud. Minimum Title As a reference publication in the field, the journal requires a PhD as minimum degree for authors interested in submitting articles. In the case of collective authorship, at least one of the authors must have such a title. The publication modality is the continuous one. Scientific Writing The writing of submitted texts must be objective and scientific. The authors must conform to the standard variety of the language in which the text is written, bearing in mind the clarity, cohesion and coherence of the submitted content. Use of Data and Citations Articles containing data acquisition, or analysis and interpretation of data from other publications must reference them explicitly. When writing articles that contain a critical review of the intellectual content of other authors, the latter must be duly cited. The texts in all sections must present citations and, therefore, a complete list of bibliographic references. Thus, the absence of citations results in the rejection of the submission in the Primary evaluation of the submitted text. Self-citations The journal accepts a maximum rate of 5% of self-citations. Participation and Contribution to the Research All authors must describe, in a document of their own, to be signed and attached to the submission platform, the detailed participation of each of the authors who undersign the article, considering the following research stages: study design; data collection, analysis and interpretation; writing of the manuscript; and decision to submit the manuscript for publishing. According to the recommendations of the ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors), not every work in research constitutes authorship of the study to be published. Thus, certain types of participation in research can be referred to in the acknowledgments section of the article: general supervision of a research group or administrative support; assistance in the writing and textual revision of the article; scientific consulting, and others. Authors are recommended to read this page at the ICMJE’s own website for clarification on the subject. Other authorship-related practices directly violate publication ethics, are disapproved by RBHE and should, without exception, be avoided:
Novelty Nature of the Publication Every submission sent to RBHE for review must be original and unpublished. Thus, the texts cannot have been submitted for simultaneous review by another journal; otherwise, one must justify it in “Notes to the editor” so that the journal individually analyzes the issue. Articles from Previous Publications Regarding original articles, the journal requires that its content be unpublished, that is, it must not have been published in any means of scientific dissemination, except for preprint repositories and institutional repositories. Thus, texts already published in journals and event annals will be rejected and not peer reviewed. If the submitted article is related to a research whose content has been disclosed by said means, its content must be an evident and significant expansion of the initial version, guaranteeing the novelty nature. The repetition of most of the content is considered self-plagiarism, which results in the submission being rejected. It is the editorial committee that evaluates this aspect and decides on the appropriate action. Adopted Style Because it is international, Revista Brasileira de História da Educação adopts the style guide of the American Psychological Association (APA) (6th ed.) as a standard for article presentation. Thus, all submitted articles must comply with the APA. Go to the bottom of this page and carefully observe the required standards. Redundant Publication Texts with more than two thirds of its content previously published are considered redundant publications. These are cases of overlapping textual content, which allows a redundant text to be considered self-plagiarism, resulting in its rejection by RBHE’s editorial staff. Salami Publication This practice consists of publishing an article whose research brings a repetition of methods, hypotheses and results. By presenting data that have been developed in an already published research, the authors slice the results in order to obtain volume of publication, artificially increasing their statistics. A partial presentation of results that could be analyzed and compared in a single article requires an unnecessary crossing of references and hinders the development of the subject within the scientific community, taking the time of readers and editors unnecessarily. Thus, RBHE recommends that very similar topics, derived from a single research, be approached through the writing of one single article. Corrections and Retractions In the case of accidental mistakes, if the authors feel the need to correct data available in the published version of their articles, RBHE accepts requests for content correction. The latter will be analyzed by the editors; if deemed valid, the adjustment will be made, and the updated version will be published. A notification will be written and linked to the original text, which will remain available on the journal’s page. In case of plagiarism, unethical research, duplicate publication and unreliable data, RBHE will thoroughly analyze the suspicion. If the violation of the journal’s ethical and editorial principles is confirmed, the article may remain available, identified as a “retracted version”. If necessary, the journal will remove the published version. In either of the cases – maintenance or exclusion –, there will be a retraction note, which will present the reasons that support the respective editorial decision. Note on Research Funding In the case of research funded by projects, institutions or other specific sources of financial aid, the authors must provide a note with information on the source of the funding. Conflict of Interests A conflict of interest can be of a personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature. Conflicts of interest may occur when authors, reviewers or editors have interests that may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. When submitting their manuscripts, the authors are responsible for recognizing and revealing financial or other types of conflicts that may have influenced their work. If there is, even if potentially, a conflict of interest, the author(s) must refer to it in a document of their own, which must be signed and attached to the submission platform. The authors must identify in the manuscript any financial support obtained for the execution of their work, as well as other personal connections regarding its conduction. The reviewer must inform the editors of any conflicts of interest that might influence the analysis of the manuscript, and must declare themselves not qualified to review it. General Recommendations on Ethics In addition to complying with the abovementioned provisions, specific to RBHE, it is recommended that authors access the official page of the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). On it, it is possible to learn about specific principles and flowcharts, which will answer questions and enrich the ethical aspects of the editorial processes carried out during the evaluation and publishing of scientific research. EVALUATION AND PEER REVIEW Primary Evaluation The first analysis performed on submitted articles is called Primary evaluation. At this stage, an editorial assistant checks the adequacy of the submission as to the fundamental norms adopted by the journal: text presentation and references as to citation rules; presence of mandatory metadata, and text structure (abstract, keywords, presentation of the authors and institutional affiliation, etc.). It is also when compliance with the minimum-title criterion is verified: at least one of the authors must be a PhD. If there is inadequacy as to the fundamental items, the journal may reject the submission or request that thetext be revised. In this case, a punch list will be sent to the authors, who must make the necessary adjustments within 30 days. Revised versions, corrected manuscripts and respective documents must be posted through a click on the same title, that is, on the same submission, on the Active Submissions page in the OJS system. Plagiarism Check If the submission is adequate, compliant with all requirements of the Primary evaluation, the editors will evaluate the manuscripts using the iThenticate CrossCheck system. This stage assesses the textual content of the scientific articles, seeking to identify plagiarism, duplicate submissions, manuscripts already published and possible frauds in research. Plagiarism is considered, in the academic field, as the undue appropriation of technical and scientific knowledge production. This practice is vehemently repudiated by RBHE and not tolerated under any circumstances. The following conducts constitute the main forms of plagiarism:
If RBHE observes, in received submissions, the occurrence of any of the cases described above, the Editorial Board will take the applicable measures, in accordance with the guidelines of the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) concerning the identification of plagiarism. Associate-Editor Review and Peer Review Once the received submission is adequate, compliant with the criteria observed in the Primary evaluation and in the Plagiarism verification, the editorial team sends the text forward to the Peerreview process. At this point, an editorial assistant sends the submission to the associate editors so that one of them, in accordance with their area of expertise and availability, takes over the editing of the article. If the associate editor finds incompatibility between the text and the focus and scope of the journal, the submission may be rejected, configuring the decision of Rejection by the editor, without peer review. If there is adequacy as to the focus and scope of the journal, the associate editor in charge assigns the article evaluation task to at least two ad hoc referees. The latter are duly qualified and have experience and practice in the field of the text to be evaluated. Reviewer Ethics and Conduct The Peerreview process is a decisive instrument for the assessment of science: it allows verifying and determining the degree of scientific rigor of a study. Only through serious evaluation a journal can ensure the integrity and quality of the content it publishes. Invited reviewers therefore need, in addition to outstanding academic knowledge, to act under ethical principles in order to avoid any distortion in the sense of the objective analysis of the content. Considering this work, some situations require special attention from the reviewer in the face of the journal’s request:
Double-Blind Method and Reviewer Recommendation RBHE adopts the double-blind method for peer review, by means of which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the process. The reviewer will only know the authorship after the text is published, in case of approval. The author, in their turn, will never know the identity of the reviewers of their work. Referees receive a form with open-ended and objective questions about the article. It addresses the following aspects: originality, relevance and contribution to the History of Education field; structure, organization, clarity and coherence of the text; title and abstract suitability; achievement of objectives; analysis of sources in conjunction with the adopted theoretical framework; bibliography pertinence and updating; revision as to spelling, grammar and APA standards. After evaluating the aspects mentioned, the reviewer provides general comments on the text, along with their recommendation, which may be:
Final Decision For a submission to be considered for publishing, there must be at least two favorable opinions. If there is a negative and a positive opinion, a third referee must evaluate the text. Considering the pair of favorable opinions, it is up to the associate editor to check the notes left during the Peer review and, finally, to decide on the publishing or rejection of the text. The final decision, therefore, is always up to the associate editor in charge or of the editor-in-chief, if their intervention is necessary in the submission. POLICY ON VERSIONS IN OTHER LANGUAGES Starting from October 5, 2024, in order to provide greater international visibility to articles originally written in Portuguese, Spanish, or French, authors must submit the English translation of the version of the text approved through the evaluation process. Thus, the translation should only be carried out after the completion of the revision of the Portuguese language and technical standards of the already approved article. Therefore, it will be up to RBHE to indicate the appropriate moment for authors to request a professional translation. In this case, the responsibility for the translation — including its cost — must be assumed by the authors of the article. RBHE will publish both versions of the text (in the original language and in English). For the English version, authors must provide a translation accompanied by a Declaration of Translation by a qualified professional, following this model. After filling it out, the document must be submitted to the OJS system as a supplementary document. PUBLISHING OF TRANSLATIONS RBHE publishes translated versions of relevant texts, already published, for research in the History of Education field. Submissions for this modality must include an authorization from the author of the original work or from the publisher through which the text has been published. If the work is in the public domain, this procedure is not necessary, with the author of the translation being responsible for this information. Because it is a published text, previously reviewed by peers, and editing its content in the case of a translation is not possible, it is up to the Editor-in-Chief and the associate editors to analyze and decide on its publishing feasibility. The analyzed criteria are the same as those that make up the script for Peer review. COPYRIGHT, REPOSITORY POLICIES AND LICENSING Originality: when submitting articles, authors must declare that the submitted work is original and that all authors have been duly credited. Copyright: copyrights belong exclusively to the authors. RBHE requires authorization, signed individually by all authors, for publishing and distributing any content. Repository policy: RBHE has its preprint deposit policy registered in the SHERPA/ROMEO platform. Aligned with the criteria of the Open Science movement, the journal allows authors who submit to the journal to deposit preprints at all publishing stages: pre-evaluation version, version accepted for publishing and final version, available in the journal’s own summary. In case of deposit of the final version, the authors must always indicate the DOI for the official publishing by the journal. Because it is indexed in SciELO, RBHE recommends that authors use the SciELO Preprints server. There, they can deposit the unreviewed version and the approved version for publishing, which will be accompanied by the final version if the article is accepted for publishing. Find out more here. Licensing: the journal uses the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (CC BY 4.0). By submitting their text, the author agrees with the aforementioned licensing policy. This allows sharing (copying and distribution of material in any medium or format) and adaptation (remix, transformation and creation of material from the content thus licensed for any purposes, including commercial ones, provided that the conditions imposed by the license are met). One of the conditions for use and reuse is to always reference the licensed content, mentioning its authors and adding a hyperlink to the published material. Other conditions, equally important, are set out in the Legal Code of the license. ARCHIVING Because it has its full catalog in the Open Journal Systems (OJS), managed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), RBHE chose to use the archiving system developed by the PKP itself, the PKP Preservation Network. This way, the journal guarantees the safe preservation of its content, meeting the standards on good practices in archiving. Learn more about how this service works.
