The Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Ciências Humanas (Human Sciences) publishes abstracts of theses and dissertations, but does not publish chapters of these works. We recognize that need and academic interest in disseminating results stemming from graduate level work exist, and in these cases recommend drafting a scientific article containing unique text which differs from the original, emphasizing notable points in the research and utilizing direct citations where appropriate. This guidance contemplates monographs in general, as well as undergraduate program completion work. The journal does not accept extended abstracts, texts in the form of reports, nor work previously published in any public access mean. Peer evaluation process The journal has a Scientific Council. Manuscripts are first examined by the Editor or by one of the Associate Editors. The Editor has the right to recommend alterations to the submitted manuscripts or to return them when they fail to comply with the journal’s editorial policy. Upon acceptance, manuscripts are submitted to peer-review and are reviewed by at least two specialists who are not members of the Editorial Board. In the event of discrepancy between the reviews, the manuscript is submitted to other referee(s). In case changes or corrections are recommended, the manuscript is returned to the author(s), who have thirty days to submit a new version. In keeping with the principles of equity of ethnicity, gender, and geographical representation, the journal is committed to potentializing the diversity of expert opinions, obviously safeguarding the required principles of expertise and education. After receiving the anonymous peer reviews, the Editor decides whether the article is accepted for publication. If accepted, the author is requested to revise the article on the basis of the reviews and the Editor’s observations. The author must also explain how the revision was done and provide justification in case the advice of the reviewer(s) was not followed. It is obligatory to use the “Track Changes” function in Word, when applying changes. The revised article should be submitted via the online platform, via the revision link at “AUTHOR RESOURCES”, by clicking on “CREATE REVISION”. An author may only submit a new contribution after twelve months, counting from the previous submission date. Preprint policy Following the guidance provided by SciELO Preprints, which seeks to accelerate scientific communication, upon receiving submissions of articles on themes that require immediate dissemination of the content, the journal suggests to the authors to deposit the texts at SciELO Preprints while the evaluation process occurs (SciELO, 2021). Ethical recommendations The journal follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), uses the “Guia de boas práticas para o fortalecimento da ética na publicação científica” (2018), and follows the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) to guarantee the integrity of the results published by the journal.
