ALMANACK is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes articles and reviews on the formation of State and nation in Brazil and the Americas in their interfaces with contemporary and global historical processes, between the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as comparative and theoretical-methodological approaches. It adopts the ethical guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Code of Ethics American Educational Research Association, the Code of Good Scientific Practices - FAPESP, and the Council of Science Editors (CSE) regarding publication. ALMANACK is divided into four sections. The Forum and Dossiers consists of articles previously commissioned by the Editorial Board or by an ad hoc organizer. The Articles (open) and Reviews sections accept contributions on an ongoing basis. Manuscripts can be submitted in Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish. Further instructions for authors are provided below. All manuscripts submitted to ALMANACK go through a pre-selection process in which the relevance of the topic, clarity of writing, and alignment with the journal’s focus are evaluated. Forums and Dossiers are published with a brief introductory text on the topic, including the title and bibliography, with versions in both Portuguese and English. The evaluation of manuscripts sent to the Dossier section will be carried out by a committee, designated by the Editorial Board, which involves the organizers, journal advisors and ad hoc reviewers. ALMANACK adheres to the principles of Open Science and accepts manuscripts that have been previously deposited in a non-commercial preprint server, provided they have not been simultaneously submitted for peer review to another academic journal. The author(s) must inform whether the article has been deposited in a preprint server and must obligatorily provide the corresponding DOI number. The author(s) are fully responsible for the content of the submitted texts. Authors who submit manuscripts to the journal agree to evaluate at least 1 article within a period of two years.
