Brief History
|
Turismo: Visão e Ação (TVA) affiliated with the Postgraduate Program in Tourism and Hospitality - Master's and Doctorate, is a scientific journal published annually in a continuous flow, interdisciplinary and internationally recognized, classified, according to Qualis/CAPES criteria (2017-2020), as 'A3' in the areas of Administration, Accounting, and Tourism. Registered under ISSN number 1983-7151, the journal began its activities in 1998 with printed publications, in English and Portuguese versions. In 2008, it transformed into an online publication, maintaining a policy of being an open access journal without submission or access fees for articles. TVA's abbreviated title in the ISSN - Tur., Visão e Ação, is used in bibliographies, footnotes, references, and bibliographic captions. In 2023, we celebrated 25 uninterrupted years of publication and set internationalization as a goal. There are many challenges to internationalizing a scientific journal, and among them is establishing partnerships to strengthen global visibility, aiming to promote the dissemination and recognition of national academic knowledge in other countries. Starting from this year, 2024, we have adopted the continuous publication process (Rolling pass or Rolling publishing), representing a commitment to agility and immediate availability of research. This initiative aims not only to shorten the periods between submission and publication but also to enhance the efficient dissemination of knowledge, stimulating discussions and significant advancements in the field of Tourism. In addition to transitioning to continuous publication, TVA reinforces its commitment to the practice of open science. We recognize the importance of making research widely accessible, considering it a cornerstone and promoting transparency and collaboration. By renewing our dedication to open science, we provide researchers with the opportunity to share their findings more broadly, expanding the impact of their contributions in the field of Tourism. |
Compliance with Open Science
|
TVA is committed to the principles of Open Science, which promote collaborative, shared, and public scientific practice. Following these guidelines, TVA adopts several practices, including open access, editor guidelines, and the use of social networks to disseminate published works. Additionally, it requires clear identification of each author's role in articles with multiple authorship, encouraging the sharing of datasets, instruments, statistical analysis scripts, and additional materials in open repositories when they cannot be directly included in the article. As a result, articles describing research must inform and reference the availability of resources underlying the study and the results obtained. TVA also encourages, when appropriate, the publication of preprint articles on public platforms, allowing open discussions before final publication. In this case, authors must inform the editor, at the time of submission, which platform was used and its status. The article will receive the same treatment in the peer review process. Additionally, the contribution of section editors is acknowledged in published articles, and reviewers receive documentation of their work, being able to record their activities on certified platforms such as the Lattes platform. These practices reflect TVA's commitment to the principles of Open Science. Upon article submission, authors must complete the Compliance with Open Science Form, accepting TVA's conditions regarding originality and agreement with open science. |
Ethics in Publication
|
TVA adopts policies of compliance with and promotion of ethics in scientific communication established by the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and the Guide to Good Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication by SciELO. Preventing negligence is also a crucial responsibility of the editor and editorial team: any form of unethical behavior, as well as plagiarism in any instance, is not accepted at TVA. Authors submitting articles to the journal declare that their content is original and ensure that the work has not been published nor is it under review/evaluation in any other journal. Furthermore, TVA is committed to ethics and quality in publication. We support standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in publishing in our journal: the author, the journal editor, the reviewers, and the editor. We do not tolerate plagiarism or any other unethical behavior. We recommend referring to our Ethical conduct statement. |
Focus and Scope
|
Turismo: Visão e Ação (TVA) is an interdisciplinary scientific journal affiliated with the Postgraduate Program in Tourism and Hospitality at UNIVALI. Its target audience includes researchers, professors, and students in graduate and undergraduate programs in Tourism and related areas, such as hospitality, gastronomy, hospitality, leisure, events, and others, as well as consultants, entrepreneurs, and professionals from public and private companies operating in these areas. Access to the published content is open, and no submission, evaluation, or publication fees are charged. In this sense, we encourage the submission of manuscripts in the format of Scientific, Theoretical, or Theoretical-empirical Articles, both national and international, addressing relevant topics with provocative and innovative perspectives for the scientific development of Tourism and related fields. The content should demonstrate notable analytical depth and theoretical-methodological consistency and reflect the state of the art in knowledge production in the field. Articles can be submitted in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and will be published in their original language. Submissions must be made electronically through the journal's platform. It is a prerequisite that the submitted article is unpublished, meaning it has not been published (or is under evaluation) in any other national or international journal, proceedings, book chapters of any kind, or even made available on various social media platforms. To avoid endogeneity and promote a diversity of topics and authorship, TVA adopts the policy of publishing one article per author/co-author per year. We emphasize that we do not charge any fees: access, submission, evaluation, editing, or publication. At the time of submission, the responsible author must complete and sign the Declaration of Originality. Articles accepted for publication will be formatted using TVA's publication template and will receive a DOI identifier number.
Mission Our mission is to "Interconnect interested individuals through the transversality of scientific research in the field of Tourism." With this objective, we work to encourage discussions and dissemination of knowledge and techniques applied to tourism and related areas, assisting students, researchers, managers, policymakers, and other interested individuals in unraveling the complexity and uniqueness of tourism. |

EDITORIAL POLICY
|
Preprints TVA encourages, when appropriate, the publication of preprint articles and accepts articles previously deposited on servers in public platforms such as Preprints, SciELO Preprints, and EmeRI, so that, if necessary, they can be openly discussed before publication.
In this case, authors should inform the editor, at the time of submission, which platform was used and the status of the article. The article will receive the same treatment in the peer review process. Access the Code of Ethics of Turismo: Visão e Ação, which should be known to the authors, who, by submitting their articles, agree to the terms provided.
Peer Review Process TVA relies on a permanent editorial board and ad hoc reviewers. Both members of the editorial board and ad hoc reviewers must be recognized researchers in the academic community and be affiliated with Graduate Programs and Research Groups.
The evaluation process for submissions consists of the following steps: 1) Desk Review Evaluation by the Editor and Editorial Assistants: This process aims to identify whether the article meets the journal's focus and scope requirements and whether the results reach a significant level for research in tourism and hospitality. Subsequently, the article will be checked using plagiarism detection software to confirm its originality, and for acceptance, the article cannot have more than 3% coincidences. This process occurs within a maximum of 20 days, and the author(s) will be notified by email if the article: a) will proceed to the next evaluation stage; b) adjustments need to be made and a new submission must be made; c) there is no interest in publication in the journal. 2) Double-blind Review Stage: In this stage, the article will be sent to at least two TVA reviewers, without author identification (Double-blind review process), who will evaluate the document according to specific criteria available in the system. The evaluation feedback is provided through the system, with an average time frame of 30 days. In cases of contradictory opinions, the article will be sent to a third reviewer. In this case, the final decision on publication rests with the Editors. Authors can track the evaluation process in the submission area on the journal's website. 3) Editorial Decision: After receiving the evaluations from the editors, a decision will be made, which may be: a) Accept; b) Mandatory Corrections; c) Corrections and a new round of evaluation; or d) Reject. (a) If the decision is Accept, authors will be notified, and instructions for adjustments, content improvements, grammatical and spelling revisions, if necessary, along with the Publication Template and Authorship Form, will be provided. (b) If Mandatory Corrections are required, authors will receive communication via the system, containing reviewers' instructions for the necessary corrections and adjustments, which must be addressed within the established deadline. Corrections should be highlighted in the text, and the revised version must be returned in response to the editors' communication via the system. Unaccepted recommendations and suggestions must be justified. If, after verification, the reviewers' recommendations have been addressed, the article will be Accepted, proceeding as per item (a). (c) In the case of Corrections and a New Round, after corrections and adjustments by the authors as per item (b), the article will be sent for a new evaluation by two reviewers, who may be the same as those in the initial evaluation. If, after verification, the reviewers' recommendations have been addressed, the article will be Accepted, proceeding as per item (a). (d) If the decision is to Reject, authors will be informed via communication in the TVA system, with a summary of the evaluations highlighting the critical points that led to the decision. 4) Approval for Publication: Only after the evaluation of the content improvements requested by TVA will the article be approved for publication. In this case, authors will be asked to format the article using the Publication Template and complete the Authorship Form, as well as indicate their individual contribution to the article. A final version translated into English or Spanish will be requested (final version with a letter confirming the translator's credentials), at the expense of the author(s). This version is optional if the author wishes to publish in the other language. The publication of the article will include the names of the editor and section editor responsible for the submission and evaluation process. The published article will receive a DOI identification number. Approval reports for the article, with or without the identification of the reviewers, may be published if authors express interest to the editors through communication in the system, and with the agreement of the reviewers.
Open Data TVA recommends that all research data be publicly available in repositories at the time of submission or become public upon publication of the article. If authors choose to keep research data closed, they must provide a justification at the time of manuscript submission, which will be reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief.
TVA recommends the use of institutional data repositories where one of the authors is affiliated or other reliable data repositories.
Fee Charging
TVA does not charge any fees: access, submission, evaluation, editing, or publication.
Ethics and Misconduct Policy, Errata, and Retraction In order to ensure an editorial policy committed to ethical publication criteria that encourage the identification of plagiarism, misconduct, fraud, possible ethical violations, and the opening of processes, we recommend that authors follow the steps below before submitting texts to the journal:
After submission, the Editors may take the following steps when they deem it appropriate:
Based on the results and any explanations received, it will be up to the Editors, and if necessary, the Editorial Board, to decide on procedures regarding the manuscript. After submission and before the peer review process, all articles are subjected to the CopySpider similarity verification system. If necessary, for the publication of errata and retractions, TVA will follow the guidelines of the:
Conflict of Interest Policy Conflicts of interest must be disclosed not only by the authors but also by all individuals involved in the editorial process of a manuscript.
Editors must avoid making decisions on manuscripts that conflict with their own interests, such as those submitted by authors from their department or research collaborators. Considering the possibility of conflicts of interest, the journal does not publish articles authored by its own editors or section editors. If section editors have a conflict of interest, they must delegate decision-making to other editors. Authors must explicitly and individually declare to the editor (available on the submission page) any potential financial, direct and/or indirect, non-financial conflicts of interest, etc., as well as any conflicts of interest with ad hoc reviewers, if applicable, at the time of article submission and/or during the evaluation process. At the time of submission, the responsible author must fill out and sign the Conflict of Interest Declaration. Reviewers must consider any type of conflict of interest before evaluating the manuscript. Work relationships with the author should be considered (e.g., participating or having participated in a research project; maintaining or having maintained scientific collaboration with research groups; having a mentoring relationship with the author; having a financial interest in the project involved in the manuscript). Upon accepting the manuscript for evaluation, the reviewer must declare any conflict of interest directly on the journal's page. If a conflict of interest is identified on the part of the reviewers, the Editor and/or Section Editors will forward the manuscript to another ad hoc reviewer.
Adoption of Similarity Checking Software After submission on the platform, all articles undergo screening, which includes checking the items required in the "Submissions" section. Next, it will be verified whether the article is within the scope of the journal, and if so, the manuscript proceeds to the next stage of the editorial process.
This stage consists of submitting all articles to the CopySpider similarity checking system. Based on the report generated by the program, the textual content of the manuscript is analyzed to identify any indications of plagiarism in the text. After this process, if a similarity index above the recommended threshold is detected, the article will not be included in the peer review process, and the authors will be notified.
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing
This policy pertains solely to the manuscript writing process and not to the use of Artificial Intelligence tool(s) for analysis and data extraction that compose the research process. Regarding writing, this technology should only be used to enhance textual language.
The use of this resource should be monitored by the authors, who must carefully oversee the results. Authors are responsible for the final content. A statement regarding the use of AI should appear at the end of the manuscript, ensuring transparency and trust between authors, readers, and the editorial body. It is understood that authors and co-authors are those capable of maintaining the integrity of all parts of the manuscript, with the capacity to decide on the approval of the final version and to agree to its submission. Authors and co-authors are also responsible for adhering to the "publication ethics policy". Therefore, authors should not list AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed and executed by human beings.
Sex and Gender Issues The editorial team of TVA, as well as the authors publishing in the journal, should always adhere to the guidelines on Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER). The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines that guide the reporting of information about sex and gender in the study design, data analysis, and in the results and interpretation of findings. Additionally, TVA observes the gender equity policy in the formation of its editorial board.
Committee of Ethics When the research article involves procedures with human subjects or sensitive data under LGPD (Brazil's General Data Protection Law), authors must attach a statement of approval from the ethics committee of the institution responsible for approving the research.
