Peer Review Process
Assessment process
EXECUTIVE BOARD APPRAISAL
Original copies will be accepted for evaluation as long as they have not been previously published and are accompanied by the following: request for publication in the Journal, responsibility and compliance with the principles of research ethics, when involving humans.
At submission, the article must be linked to at least one of the lines presented in FOCUS and SCOPE.
The manuscripts submitted, when derived from studies involving human subjects, must have been approved by the Research Ethics Committee, according to Resolution No. 510, dated April 7, 2016, which provides for the rules applicable to research in Humanities and Social Science. Authors should insert the scanned copy of the institution's Ethics Research Committee approval statement.
The editorial process will only begin if the manuscripts submitted comply with the instructions. Otherwise, they will be returned for regulatory compliance, inclusion of letter or other documents, even before they are submitted for merit assessment of their work.
When reproducing previously published material in the manuscript (including text, charts, tables, figures or any other material), applicable copyright laws must be complied with; in addition the source should be cited.
It is strongly recommended that the author(s) seek professional language advice (proofreaders and/or certified translators in Portuguese and English) before submitting original copies that may contain inaccuracies and/or morphological, syntactic, idiomatic or style inadequacies.
Originals containing inaccuracies and/or inadequacies will be returned even before they are submitted for evaluation regarding the merit of the work and the convenience of its publication.
Manuscripts may also be rejected without detailed comments after initial review by the Executive Board of Revista da Educação PUC-Campinas Journal, if the articles are considered inappropriate or of insufficient scientific priority for publication in the Journal.
Revista de Educação PUC-Campinas does not publish more than two articles by the same author in the same year (volume). This procedure aims at increasing the number of subjects and collaborations from national and international authors. Likewise, there is a maximum limit of 1 (one) article written by PUC-Campinas’ professors-researchers per year (volume), to avoid endogeny.
At the end of the year, the list of the ad hoc consultants who collaborated in the evaluation of the manuscripts will be published in the PUC-Campinas Scientific Journals Portal (https://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/reveducacao/index).
EVALUATION OF THE MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts will be forwarded without the name(s) of the author(s) to at least two ad hoc reviewers of the area. In the event of divergence of assessment and/or identification of conflict of interest, a third reviewer will be appointed. Ad hoc reviewers will recommend acceptance/refusal of the articles or may suggest their reformulation. In this case, the article revised by the author will either return to the reviewers for final evaluation or will be evaluated by the Executive Board.
With two approving opinions, the article will be sent to the Editorial Board for ad referendum and communication to the author. Minor changes to the text may be made by the Journal's Executive Board in accordance with internal operating standards and criteria.
With the double-blind review system, the names of the reviewers will remain confidential; in addition, the names of the authors of the manuscripts and of their institutions will be maintained under secrecy.
Papers that receive suggestions for changes will be returned to the authors for corrections, together with the opinions or a synthesis of the reviewers’ opinion, and should be returned within the time limit set forth by the Executive Board. If the authors do not return the revised manuscript and the response letter within the stipulated deadline, the editorial process will be terminated at any stage of submission. The title and code of the manuscript should be specified.
Reviewed version based on reviewer’s opinion: the reviewed version should be forwarded via website <https://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/reveducacao/index>. The author(s) should submit only the last version of the paper. The article’s text should use a color font (blue color) for all changes made, along with a letter to the editor, reiterating the author’s interest in publishing his/her articles in this Journal and informing which changes were made in the manuscript. If there is disagreement about the reviewers' recommendations, the author(s) should present the arguments that justify their position.
The manuscript evaluation process ends in the second version. The final decision on whether or not to publish the manuscript is always the editors’. Minor changes to the text may be made by the Journal's Executive Board in accordance with internal review criteria and standards.
ARTWORK PROOF
PDF proofs will be sent to the authors to check the article's artwork. The proofs must be returned to the Editorial Center by the stipulated date (48 hours). Other changes to the original manuscript will not be accepted at this stage.
Only spelling corrections, change of a word, and numeric data in tables and charts are allowed. Inclusion and/or exclusion of sentences, paragraphs, images and references will not be accepted. If something to be corrected is detected, write down notes as follows:
