Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas) accepts for consideration texts in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English, in a continuous flow, throughout the year. Submission to Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas) must be exclusive, i.e., the texts cannot be submitted to other journals simultaneously. Proposals for dossiers on featured topics must involve prior consultation with the editors. In case of acceptance, the texts must be submitted by the respective authors and sent to double-anonymous peer review. Articles approved in the evaluation process will be published together within the corresponding section, and not in a specific section. The identification of the dossier will be given by the use of a title common to the articles, followed by subtitles referring to the specificity of each one. The presentation text will be the first of the set, and must meet the requirements of a scientific article. Every manuscript submitted to Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas) is analyzed using an anti-plagiarism software before being sent to evaluation. The purpose of the procedure is to identify plagiarism and self-plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered to be the copy of someone else’s intellectual work, whether. the entire production or a fragment of that work, without being given due credit. Self-plagiarism is the reproduction, in whole or in part, of a work of one's own authorship, previously published, without its proper identification. Situations of self-plagiarism occur when, for example, research reports, theses and/or dissertations and papers presented at scientific events are published literally in article format. In such cases, the journal will accept the manuscript, provided that there is an investment of authorship in order to reformulate the previous version, including a clear mention of the original production. The inclusion of new authors after the approval of the article is prohibited. All authors must be indicated at the time of submission. A minimum interval of six months will be observed for the publication of articles by the same author. The ideas and opinions expressed in the published articles are the sole responsibility of their authors, and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the journal. During the review process, the journal reserves the right to make small formal changes in the text, while respecting the authors’ opinion and style. The published texts are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0), which allows them to be shared. Other forms of publication of the work may only occur twelve months after its publication in this journal, provided that they are requested from the Scientific Editors and their source is explicitly indicated.
