The first volume was launched in 1997 with two issues. Since 2002, four issues have been published each year. Since that same year, the journal’s administrative office has been hosted by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).
Until 2004, the journal was produced simultaneously in print and digital formats; after that date, it became available exclusively online and free of charge.

In 2008, the journal Ambiente Construído began its migration from a manual article‑processing system to the Electronic Journal Publishing System – SEER/OJS, hosted at UFRGS (www.seer.ufrgs.br). In 2009, the implementation of the full submission, review, editing, and publication workflow in OJS was completed.

In 2011, Ambiente Construído was included in the SciELO collection

Our editorial policy is aligned with the guidelines of Open Science, through open access practices and good‑practice standards for editors. Ambiente Construído asks authors to explicitly state the contribution of each author in multi‑authored papers and also encourages the sharing of datasets and other research‑related materials.

The journal encourages the publication of preprints in repositories such as SciELO Preprints.

Authors and reviewers have the option of choosing an open peer review process, with or without the identification of the individuals involved. For authors, this choice is made at the time of submission; for reviewers, it is selected when completing the evaluation form.

All editors involved in the evaluation process are identified in the publication of each article.

The journal requests that authors submit, together with the manuscript, the Open Science compliance form saved as a PDF (form hier).

Ambiente Construído is committed to following ethical conduct at all stages of the publication process. Therefore, authors, editors, the editorial committee, and reviewers all have the duty to maintain ethical best practices.

We always uphold the good practices recommended by DORA (San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment).

The journal considers it unethical to submit an article to more than one journal simultaneously, as well as to publish the same article in more than one journal. Therefore, authors must comply with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Any questions should be sent to the email address ambienteconstruido@ufrgs.br.

Preprints from the following servers are accepted for submission: SciELO Preprints, arXiv, bioRxiv, and medRxiv. The acceptance of preprints from other servers will be evaluated by the journal’s editors.

Preprints share with journals the originality of manuscript publication and prevent the use of the double‑blind peer review method. We request that the author(s) inform the journal about the use of preprints and adopt the Ambiente Construído submission template when submitting the manuscript

Articles submitted to Ambiente Construído are evaluated through a double-blind peer review system. The editor‑in‑chief is responsible for an initial screening (first screen) to verify the relevance of the subject, compliance with the journal’s editorial guidelines, scientific contribution that is original and unpublished, a theoretical–methodological discussion based on current national and international literature, detailed and consistent methodological procedures, discussion of results based on consistent evidence, and contributions to the scientific knowledge available on the subject.

If the article is approved in this first stage, it is sent to at least two reviewers, with no indication of authorship. To ensure consistency in the evaluation process, the editorial board has developed an evaluation form (insert link to reviewer form) containing recommendations to guide reviewers in preparing their assessment. The area editor‑in‑chief receives the reviewers’ reports and proceeds according to one of the following options a) accept the article for publication, in its current form or with minor revisions; b) reject, based on consistent and justified reports; c) request revisions, with resubmission for a new evaluation by the reviewers. Regardless of the decision, the reviewers’ reports—without identification—are sent in full to the authors.

The editorial board recommends that reviewers examine the following items structure of the article, quality of writing, technical and scientific quality, relevance of the topic, originality of the subject, consistency of the results presented.
The journal publishes, at the end of the article, the name(s) of the editor(s) responsible for its evaluation. It also offers authors and editors the option of direct communication during the evaluation process and the possibility of publishing approval reports, with or without identification of the reviewers.

A revista publica ao final do artigo o(s) nome(s) do(s) editor(es) responsável(is) pela avaliação artigo. Também oferece aos autores e editores a possibilidade de dialogar diretamente com os autores durante o processo de avaliação e, também, a opção de publicar os pareceres de aprovação do artigo com ou sem a identificação dos pareceristas.

Approved articles are subject to a publication fee, according to the authors’ membership status in ANTAC:

Title 1: Times New Roman, size 14, bold, uppercase.
Ex.: RESULTS
Title 2: Times New Roman, size 12, bold.
Ex.: Characteristics and appropriation of open spaces
Title 3: Times New Roman, size 12, not bold.
Ex.: Townhouses
After peer review and acceptance, the text editing process begins:

• formatting and normalization (performed by a librarian);
• review by the author(s);
• review by the editor(s)-in-chief;
• final composition in PDF and XML for publication in the system with DOI assignment.

The article must include:

Title: it must be brief (maximum of 15 words), specific and descriptive, containing the keywords that represent the content and, especially, the scientific contribution of the article.

Responsibility Statement: all data identifying the author(s) or the origin of the study must be omitted from the document submitted for evaluation, including metadata in the file properties. All author identification data must be entered only in the fields available during submission in OJS. Each author’s name must be written in full, without abbreviations, with affiliation and ORCID.

Abstract: a 100–200‑word abstract must be included in the language of the article, accompanied by its English translation. The abstract must state the objective and highlight the article’s scientific contributions.

Keywords: after the abstract, three to six keywords must be included to help identify the main subjects addressed.

Article: the article must include an introduction aimed at informing the reader about the topic to be addressed and situating them within the existing body of knowledge. A brief theoretical foundation should be presented, including the main references on which the work is based, necessarily incorporating international literature. The article must provide a clear and objective description of the methodological procedures adopted, allowing the reader to fully understand the method used or to access it through the cited references. A substantial portion of the article should be dedicated to the development of the research and the discussion of the results obtained. It is considered essential that the article contain a concluding section, highlighting the main findings of the research in terms of knowledge production.

Notes: Notes must be indicated using Roman numerals in superscript, placed immediately after the relevant sentence. They must appear at the bottom of the page where they are cited.

Formulas: Formulas must be numbered, inserted, and cited within the text.
Style: the text must be clear, direct, and precise, avoiding overly complex language, excessive adjectives, or long sentences.

Citations and References

References: references for all authors cited directly or indirectly in the body of the article must be provided. These references must comply with NBR 6023:2018 and be listed in alphabetical order.
Works referenced using apud must include the full reference in a footnote on the same page where the citation appears.
Although the standard allows otherwise, the journal cites works with more than three authors by listing only the first author followed by “et al.”. Authors are therefore requested to follow this pattern.
Avoid, whenever possible:

• references used for general background knowledge;
• secondary references (apud);
• excessive references for a single argument;
• predominance of self‑citations.
