INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

• Objectives and editorial policy
• General information
• Preparation of originals

The journal Estudos Históricos has an interdisciplinary profile, its goal being the publication of unpublished works by researchers in the fields of History, Social Sciences, Literature, etc., which have a historical perspective.

Estudos Históricos will only accept unpublished works in the form of articles, reviews and bibliographic analyses. All articles presented to the publishers will be submitted to two evaluators so that they can give an assessment. The process of evaluation by pairs is the system of blind review, in a procedure that keeps secret the identity of the authors and of the revisers. In case a conflict of interests on the part of the revisers is detected, the Editorial Committee will send the manuscript to another reviser ad hoc. In case there are disagreements in the assessments, the editors will send the text to a third party for evaluation.

The assessments of the revisers will recommend, alternatively:

a) complete acceptance;
b) acceptance with reformulations;
c) refusal of the submitted text.

In any of these cases, the author will be informed. The final decision on whether or not the manuscript will be published is always made by the editors, who also reserve themselves the right to decide on the necessity of introducing alterations in the composition of the originals. The alterations always aim at keeping the homogeneity and quality of journal, albeit respecting the style and the opinion of the authors. Therefore, the articles will express solely and exclusively the opinions and conclusions of its authors.

The texts written in foreign languages, when accepted by the Editorial Board, will be translated to Portuguese with permission of the author.

All articles sent to the journal for publication must come with a list of up to six keywords that identify the main subjects exposed in the work and with an informative summary in Portuguese, with versions in English and in French, with 100 words at the most, where the objectives, the methods employed, and the main conclusions of the work are made clear. In case the article is a result of a research subsidized by a financial agency, this agency must be mentioned. Information about the author (to each institution he or she is linked, which are his or hers posts, fields of interest, latest publications, etc.) and documentation concerning the declaration of originality, the declaration of responsibility and the assignment of copyright (see models below) must also be sent to the editors. The articles published in the journal may also be available in different media and on the internet.
