Anais do Museu Paulista has been published since 1922. Starting in 1993, the journal began circulating in a new series with the subheading History and Material Culture. It is an academic journal that discusses topics related to material culture as a mediator of social practices, as well as innovative approaches to historical, museological, and conservation processes.

As one of the oldest current journals of the University of São Paulo (USP), Anais do Museu Paulista maintained its print edition until 2012, distributed free of charge to more than 350 higher education institutions, museums, and heritage preservation organizations in Brazil and abroad. With the worsening structural situation of the building, there was a significant reduction in available space for publication storage, which is why the print edition was suspended.

In 2018, the journal began operating in a continuous publication system, in a single annual volume, with article submissions processed exclusively on the Open Journal Systems platform hosted on the USP Journal Portal.

The journal, which has been part of the SciELO collection since July 2007, is published by the Museu Paulista of USP. Its availability on the USP Journal Portal and in databases such as SciELO, Scopus, REDALyC, and DOAJ ensures its wide visibility in the scientific community.

The abbreviation of its title is An. Mus. Paul., which must be used in bibliographies, footnotes, and bibliographic references and captions. Its ISSN for the print version is 0101-4714, and for the online version is 1982-0267.

Anais do Museu Paulista follows the Open Access model, allowing unrestricted virtual access (including no financial barriers) to all scientific texts published by the journal. Open Access is a condition whereby the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties through an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), permitting immediate free access to the work and authorizing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose.

In line with Open Science principles, Anais do Museu Paulista encourages the movement that proposes guidelines for collaborative, shared, and public scientific practice. The USP Journal Portal is administered by the USP Agency of Digital Libraries and Collections (ABCD), and also complies with the debate on open science practices, with the aim of providing full, free access, and communicating research with an emphasis on transparency of processes and sharing of open access content in favor of methodological rigor and cooperation among researchers.

In this sense, Anais do Museu Paulista accepts manuscripts that have been previously published as preprints on trusted public platforms such as SciELO Preprints, as long as they have not been simultaneously submitted for peer review in another journal. The journal encourages transparency in data sharing and also supports the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, the journal adopsts the Open Science Compliance Form as well. 

Anais do Museu Paulista adopts the ethical guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Code of Good Scientific Practices of FAPESP, and the guidelines of the Council of Science Editors (CSE) regarding publication.

The procedures followed regarding misconduct and the treatment in cases of unethical behavior are described below.

Anais do Museu Paulista publishes theoretical and monographic articles that bring to discussion topics related to material culture as a mediator of social practices, as well as innovative approaches to historical, museological, and conservation processes. The journal has six sections: Debates, Material Culture Studies, Museums, Conservation and Restoration, Documents, and Reviews. 

The Debates section presents works of a conceptual and methodological nature or potentially controversial thematic reviews. The base text is accompanied by comments and a response from the invited author. The Material Culture Studies section focuses on this theme from multiple disciplinary approaches, coming, for example, from history, anthropology, archaeology, art history, architecture, urbanism, geography, and sociology. The Museums section presents articles that integrate the approach of the field of material culture with the specific contexts of museums and museology, such as curatorial issues related to exhibitions, audience studies, documentary systems, institutional collecting, educational practices, etc. Conservation and Restoration bring together works that explore conceptual debates, research, and innovative techniques in the recovery of documentary sources, especially objects, buildings, landscapes, and iconography. The Documents section welcomes articles that problematize the organization and approach of material, visual, and textual sources that have received treatment in museums or similar institutions. The last section publishes reviews. Reviews must present works published in Portuguese in the area of History or related sciences. They must contain their own title in Portuguese and English, and present: editorial data, objectives and methodology, main arguments and conclusions. If citations are made, they must reference the exact page. Going beyond the limits of a simple summary, the review must provide a critical analysis of the work, its impact on historiography and insertion in the debates on the subject treated, as well as the audience to which it is intended. There must be no advisory relationship established between reviewer and reviewed author.

Submitted articles must be unpublished in print or electronic media, except those made available in preprint repositories, and their simultaneous submission for evaluation in another journal in Brazil or abroad is not allowed. The main language is Portuguese, but works written in English, French, or Spanish are also accepted.

The digital preservation service for Brazilian electronic journals was made available by the Rede Cariniana to the USP Agency (ABCD), including journals published on the Open Journal Systems platform. The PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) provides free file preservation services for journals allocated to OJS.

The journal also follows the standards defined in the SciELO Program Digital Preservation Policy.

A preprint is defined as a manuscript ready for submission to a journal that is deposited in trusted preprint servers before or in parallel with submission to a journal.

The use of preprints is the author’s option, and it is assumed that, when submitting the article to the journal, the name of the Preprints server is informed and the corresponding DOI is provided.

Anais do Museu Paulista accepts articles previously published on preprint platforms such as SciELO Preprints, which must be informed by the author immediately at the time of submission.

Meeting the formal specifications of the journal’s editorial guidelines, manuscripts will go through an initial screening, performed by the Editor-in-Chief.

After this approval, the texts enter the merit evaluation process by consultation with two ad hoc reviewers (specialists in the area or themes in question, with a minimum title of doctor) appointed by the Editor-in-Chief, ensuring the double-blind evaluation system.

Subsequently, the reviews and texts are assessed together by the Editorial Committee. In case of conflicting reviews, a third ad hoc reviewer may be consulted. This assessment will result in the approval or rejection of the manuscript, as well as the request for the author to make revisions that partially or fully meet the criticisms and suggestions of the reviewers. If there is a request for revision, the author will have a period of sixty days to present a new version of the text, which will be evaluated again by the reviewers who suggested the changes or by the Editorial Committee, which has the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of the text.

The same procedure applies to thematic dossiers, whose proposal must be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief before the submission of manuscripts, through the presentation of a justification statement, containing titles and abstracts of the planned articles.

The editors responsible for evaluating each article/review will be cited at the end of the published article.

Anais do Museu Paulista encourages authors of published articles to make data, codes, and other materials resulting from their research available in accessible repositories. A justification must be presented in case of refusal to present this data.

It is recommended to use repositories of the institutions of one of the authors or trusted repositories. For more information, consult:

• SciELO Data
• Guide to promoting the opening, transparency and reproducibility of research published by SciELO journals 
• Research Data Citation Guide
• List of repositories for research data deposit

Anais do Museu Paulista does not charge submission or publication fees for texts.

Anais do Museu Paulista develops its work in compliance with ethical principles and respect for academic culture and intellectual production, considering the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the publication: authors, editors, and manuscript reviewers.

The journal’s editorial decisions will not be influenced by commercial considerations or revenue sources.

Anais do Museu Paulista is committed to intellectual standards and ethical principles and is willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when necessary.

Plagiarism, or the use of ideas or verbal, oral, or written formulations of others without expressly and clearly giving them credit, in a way that reasonably generates the perception that they are ideas or formulations of one’s own authorship, constitutes something ethically unacceptable by the scientific community—and its omission or concealment is also intolerable.

Authors must meet the requirements of originality and unpublished nature of the manuscript, in whole or in part, and ensure the explicit mention of all sources and references that make up the manuscript. Anais do Museu Paulista uses Similarity Check (iThenticate) as support for identifying all types of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism. For more information, consult:

• Guide to good practices for strengthening ethics in scientific publication 
• Guide for registration, marking, and publication of errata 
• Guide for registration, marking, and publication of retraction
• Guide for registration, marking, and publication of addendum

Duties of the editorial team

The decision to publish manuscripts is the responsibility of the Editors-in-Chiefs and is guided by the policies of the journal, which comply with current legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Factors related to political or ideological positioning, ethnicity, gender, or religious diversity, as well as differences in theoretical and methodological perspectives, must not influence the actions and decisions made during the editorial process.

The Editors-in-Chiefs will not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript, except to the reviewers and the Advisory Board, maintaining the confidentiality of the submission. The identity of authors and reviewers will be kept anonymous. The Editorial Board treats manuscripts as confidential documents.

Submissions for dossiers and special issues will be conducted in the same manner as any other submission. Manuscripts will be considered and accepted solely on their academic merit, free from any personal influence.

The editorial assistance will treat all facts involving editorial activities with confidentiality and maximum discretion, especially those related to the management of plagiarism complaints and other ethical infractions.

In this regard, the Editors-in-Chiefs will take appropriate measures when ethical complaints are presented regarding submitted manuscripts or published articles, in order to cooperate with investigations. The journal’s action will be initiated from a formal and clearly identified complaint.

In case of suspected misconduct, whether in articles in press or already published, following the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Editors-in-Chiefs will act giving authors the right to a full defense. All complaints will be investigated, regardless of when the article was approved. Documentation relating to the complaint remains under the journal’s custody.

Regarding requests for reconsideration of rejected manuscripts, the editors may use three approaches, according to a decision previously discussed among the committee:

• determine if the decision was clearly explained to the author, ensuring it was not based on incorrect or questionable information, for example, based on a misinterpretation of the manuscript or lack of guidance from the reviewer;
• reconsider rejected manuscripts when the author provides good reasons why the decision may have been incorrect and is willing to send a new version of the manuscript in response to valid comments from reviewers and editors;
• encourage the resubmission of potentially acceptable manuscripts that were rejected because they needed major revisions or additional data, objectively explaining what is necessary to make the manuscript acceptable, as well as the process and procedures that will be adopted in evaluating the new version.

Duties of reviewers (peer reviewers)

It is necessary to evaluate the manuscript objectively and constructively.

The works received for analysis must be treated as confidential documents, and no information about the manuscript must be disclosed, nor must it be shown to or discussed with other people.

Reviewers must register their conflict of interest declaration, which is provided in the evaluation form, and maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the editor or author, without keeping any copy of the manuscript. They must not use information or ideas obtained by reading the works for personal benefit.

Reviewers must indicate relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors, as well as draw the editors’ attention to any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript in question and any other published text they are aware of.

Duties of authors

An author is understood to be anyone who has effectively participated in the conception of the study, in the development, analysis and interpretation of the data, and in the final writing of the manuscript. All those who contributed significantly must be listed as co-authors. People who participated in certain aspects of the research project must be listed as collaborators in notes. The lead author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included in the article. The lead author must also ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Authors must know and agree to the submission conditions and terms of the copyright declaration contained in the Open Journal Systems (OJS), hosted on the USP Journal Portal. They must follow the journal’s guidelines for manuscript presentation and submit permissions for the use, reproduction, and publication of graphs, maps, diagrams, photographs, interviews conducted, etc.

Authors must guarantee that manuscripts are original, unless they are preprints deposited in trusted servers. Texts used for their execution must be properly cited. Plagiarism, in all its forms, constitutes unethical and unacceptable behavior. They must also ensure that the manuscript has not been submitted for evaluation or published in any other vehicle.

Any relevant information that affects the analysis must be declared in “Comments to the editor,” which is included in the submission process of the USP Journal Portal. Authors must also report any conflicts of interest that may impact the editorial evaluation process, as well as explain the precautions taken to mitigate such conflicts.

It is the author's responsibility to immediately notify the journal editor if they identify significant errors in their publication, cooperating in the dissemination of errata, addenda, corrections, or even retraction of the article, when deemed necessary.

It is also the authors’ responsibility to disclose all sources of funding and support that contributed to the research and production of the manuscript.

It is the authors’ responsibility to know and accept the rules of the Creative Commons Attribution BY 4.0 license.

PROCEDURES IN CASES OF UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR

Anais do Museu Paulista: História e Cultura Material is committed to investigating, after a formal and clearly identified complaint, cases of:

• Improper appropriation of others’ content – occurs when third-party material is used without proper authorization, especially if the content has not yet been published.
• Plagiarism – entails claiming full or partial authorship of third-party material, which not only breaches research ethics but also constitutes a criminal offense.
• Self-plagiarism – involves the mere repetition of results from one’s own prior work without presenting new findings.
• Inappropriate authorship claims – arises when an individual claims sole authorship by excluding legitimate co-authors. This misconduct also applies when co-authored works are submitted or published without the consent of all co-authors, even if proper attribution is given.
• Violation of widely accepted research practices – involves the alteration or fabrication of documentary sources, citations, or statistical/analytical data to achieve desired outcomes, thereby compromising the integrity of the research and the submitted or published article.

In addition, the following behaviors are deemed inappropriate during the investigation of suspected misconduct:

• An author’s unwillingness to cooperate in clarifying issues related to alleged scientific misconduct.
• Failure to report known or suspected instances of misconduct.
• Destruction of evidence pertaining to alleged infractions.
• Retaliation against individuals who report or participate in the reporting of scientific misconduct.
• Fabrication of testimony regarding the misconduct of others.

Once ethical violations have been confirmed—after a thorough investigation and full opportunity for defense by those accused—they will be addressed according to their severity by one or more of the following actions:

• Notification of the case to all relevant parties, including the corresponding author, all co-authors, the institution(s) employing the author(s), the study’s funder(s), and any third parties whose content was misappropriated or plagiarized.
• Publication of a formal notice detailing the misconduct in an appropriate venue.
• Issuance of a formal retraction for any already published article.

Complaints submitted to Anais do Museu Paulista will be evaluated and responded to by the Editors-in-Chief, who are responsible for conducting confidential investigations.

For manuscripts suspected of misconduct, whether flagged by peer reviewers or identified by the Editors-in-Chief, the editorial process may be:

• Terminated, if clear evidence of misconduct exists.
• Suspended, pending verification of the allegations.
• Subject to notification of affected third parties, in accordance with the types of misconduct described above.

A formal complaint must be lodged against an Editor-in-Chief, and a committee appointed by the Directorate of Museu Paulista at USP will assume responsibility for the investigation.

Allegations or ethical infractions not explicitly covered herein will be assessed by the Editorial Board in accordance with COPE guidelines, the CSE guidelines of ABEC Brazil, and the FAPESP Code of Good Scientific Practice. 

Conflicts of interest may be personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial. Such conflicts arise when authors, reviewers, or editors have interests that could influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. Upon submission, authors must disclose any financial or other conflicts of interest that may have influenced their work by signing and uploading a completed disclosure form to the submission platform. For further details, see: Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest.

Editors-in-Chief will not handle manuscripts for which they have a conflict of interest. In such cases, an independent editor or the Advisory Board will be appointed to oversee the peer review process of the study.

Anais do Museu Paulista employs iThenticate on all submissions (articles, reviews, etc.) to detect plagiarism or undue similarity immediately upon receipt. 

Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism will be rejected, and authors may face sanctions as outlined above.

COPE states that “AI tools cannot meet the requirements for authorship as they cannot take responsibility for the submitted work.”

Accordingly, in line with these statements, Anais do Museu Paulista does not permit generative Artificial Intelligence to be listed as an author of submitted manuscripts, nor to generate textual content, produce images or graphic elements, or collect and analyze data during the writing process. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their submissions and must therefore be held accountable for any breaches of publication ethics.

The editorial team and authors must follow the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines when reporting sex and gender in study design, data analysis, results, and interpretation. The SAGER guidelines comprise the reporting of sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, and findings and interpretation of findings. In addition, the journal monitors the gender equity policy in the formation of its editorial board.

Authors are encouraged to obtain approval from their institutional Ethics Committees to ensure compliance with the requirements of each field of knowledge.

1. Be unpublished and intended EXCLUSIVELY for the Anais do Museu Paulista journal (except for preprints). Substantially expanded and reworked versions of works published in scientific event proceedings are accepted.
2. Contain a minimum of 20 pages (without illustrations, notes, and bibliographies), considering that one page equals 2,100 characters with spacing. As a limit, we accept 50 (fifty) typed pages (without illustrations, notes, and bibliographies). This number may be flexible after consultation with the Editors-in-Chief.
3. Be written in Portuguese, English, French, or Spanish.

6. Images must be inserted in the manuscript body, possibly with reduced size and low resolution. Figure legends must be positioned directly in the text body, in parentheses. Numbering must be sequential and without decimal indications. Files must be named according to their text reference and accompanied by their respective legends and origin indication. Legends must be distributed throughout the text near the figure insertions and must provide a brief description of the graphically represented element, with complete credits, not exceeding three hundred characters.

Regarding file FORMATTING:

• Text with single spacing. In long quotes, 4 cm indent, size 11, 1.5 spacing; omissions use brackets: […].
• No notes for acknowledgments or funding source indication; these must come at the end of the article, before bibliographic references, registered in “ACKNOWLEDGMENTS,” immediately after the end of the article. 
• Subtitles must be indicated as follows: Sub1 Style (BOLD, Title case); Sub2 Style (Bold, Sentence case); and Sub3 Style (Italic, Sentence case).
• Figures/graphs must include a title below, in regular font, with a period at the end, and, when applicable, the City and Year of Data Collection.
• Tables/charts must have a title above, regular, without a period at the end, in regular text format, without paragraph indent and centered.
• Legends must appear below the table/chart/figure/graph, with a period at the end, and if there is a reference call, insert: Author, year.
• Figures and all types of illustrations (drawings, diagrams, flowcharts, photographs, graphs, maps, organizational charts, plans, charts, portraits, and others) must indicate the source in the legends, even if it is the author’s own production.
• Titles of works cited in the text body, notes, and references must be highlighted in italics; as well as foreign language words. Transcriptions of documents or bibliographic work excerpts (when not exceeding three lines) will be cited in quotes, within the paragraph and without font highlight.

Tables and images must be inserted in the text body, as detailed above. After approval for publication, digital high-resolution files will be requested (with at least 300 dpi, 15 x 18 cm and 2,048 x 1,536 pixels) to be sent via file-sharing platforms such as Wetransfer.com, Google Drive, or Dropbox, in TIFF or JPEG formats. Graphs and tables files must be sent in Excel format.

The responsibility for obtaining reproduction rights (copyright) lies exclusively with the authors. After manuscript approval, the necessary authorizations must be sent to the Editorial Assistance of Anais do Museu Paulista, accompanied by a signed letter from the author declaring responsibility for image publication.

Based on NBR 6023/2018 from the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), Anais do Museu Paulista adopts the author-date system for indirect text citations, which will be in footnotes, not in the body text. They must be inserted in size 11, single spacing. Note numbering is done with Arabic numerals, with unique and consecutive numbering for author-date calls and explanatory notes. The note standard is:

• Authorship in Title Case, publication date in parentheses: 

Example: Adorno (1998).

• If publication year coincides for works by the same author, add sequential lowercase letter to the note. 

Example: Holanda (2009a, 2009b).

• When there is more than one author, names are separated by commas, as if in running text:

Example: Two authors: Chaplin and Keaton (1920).

Example: Three authors: Chaplin, Keaton, and Marx (1940).

• In case of several works by different authors, they are also standardized as in running text. Parentheses will differentiate each one. Without hindering the text’s meaning, they must be organized alphabetically:

Example: Adorno (1998), Furtado (1999), and Prado Jr. (2000).

• In citation of a title without an author, indicate the first three words, followed by ellipses. 

Example: Carta aos fazendeiros… (1871).

• Do not use semicolons to separate authors or works.
• Never insert Latin expressions inside parentheses:

Example: Adorno (1998) and Furtado, op. cit. 

• When the use of a Latin expression might cause any doubt about its referent, repeat the full reference.

Example: 12 Adorno (1998), Furtado (1999), and Prado Jr. (2000).

• One of the journal’s main characteristics is the dual use of notes: indicating references and inserting complementary information to the article. In the second case, it is advisable to apply the author/date system, as maintaining in-text calls can make it imperceptible what is a reference from the running text.

Example: 24 See Diderot (2002). It was a common trick among encyclopedists to use cross-references in the work’s creation (ROMANO, 1999). This allowed the reader to be led from an innocuous entry to texts openly prohibited by the censors (MATTOS, 2014). 

• When there is no page or literal mention of the author in the body text, the call will be: See Bardin (2009). Do not use “see” if the author’s name or page is indicated.
• “See” calls can be translated to the original publication’s language. Suggestion of “Voir” for French and “Cf.” for Portuguese.
• All Latin expressions (Id., ibid., apud, et al., op. cit. and loc. cit) ALWAYS are written in italics.
• Footnote calls (superscript numbers) must appear after the first punctuation. 

Example: “Pela primeira vez, a cidade (Paris), como nenhuma outra antes, acolheu artistas de todo o planeta, sem distinção de raça, dinheiro, estilo ou técnica”23.

All bibliographic and documentary references used must be presented at the end of the text, separated into: “Manuscript Sources,” “Printed Sources,” “Books, Articles, and Theses,” “Websites,” and “Interviews.” DO NOT insert references that were not cited in the body text. The presentation must:

• Indicate authors by their last name in all caps, followed by first name and other surnames in full. When there is more than one author, names will be separated by semicolon and space. Examples:

AMARAL, Aracy Abreu. (one author)

GERODETTI, João Emilio; CORNEJO, Carlos. (two authors)

HOLANDA, Sérgio Buarque de; DURAND, José Carlos; BRUNO, Ernani Silva. (three authors)

AMERICANO, Jorge et. al. (four authors or more)

To indicate complementary elements (book edition, translation), it is necessary that all references in the text follow the same pattern. Therefore, we recommend that only essential data be informed. The complementary nomination will exceptionally be allowed in articles that compare different translations or editions of a work, for example.

References must be listed following the NBR 6023/2018 guidelines from the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), which must also be consulted for other document types not exemplified in these editorial norms. When listing references, note:

• Complete and full authors’ names in alphabetical order.
• If chapter authors are also book authors/organizers, omit the redundant information.
• Book titles in italics.
• Website pages that are not homepages go in the Websites section. E.g.: BEIGUELMAN, Giselle. Atropelados pela pandemia, museus rastejam na internet. Folha de S. Paulo, São Paulo, 17 abr. 2020. Available from: https://bit.ly/3kzyf1V. Accessed on: Oct. 1, 2020.
• Avoid complementary information (edition, translation, etc.). Only point out what is relevant.
• No need to indicate the state for cities, except for “Brasília, DF” and “Washington, DC.”
• Insert hyperlink for any necessary links in references.
• Always indicate DOI, if any, and insert the hyperlink. Standard: DOI: 10.1590/1982-3703003219132. 
• For institutional authorship, indicate only the full name. E.g.: WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.
• For publishers with multiple publishers in the same location, cite only the first publisher.
• Shorten long links using URL shorteners.
• For journal article references, insert publication months only if the journal lacks volume or number.
• In references with the same first author and multiple authors, order first those with single authorship, then two authors, then three, then et al..
• Sources cited in references like newspapers, programs, and reports must NOT have their dates translated. They must follow the original publication language.

If the research that originated the article received any financial support, it must be informed. The funding source must be named, and it is necessary to indicate the contract or administrative process number with the funding agency.
